ten thousand dollars

In the novel, Raisin in The Sun, i believe that mama should split up the money between the family. she needs to reward herself because its rightfully hers but she is also really generous with it so maybe she should give some of it to beneatha so she can make something of her life and maybe help out the rest of the family once she becomes successful. It would be a shame to waste her intelligence because of lack of money. Buying a liquor store probably wouldnt be as profitabe as becoming a doctor. So i believe most of the money should go to beneatha for her career.
