Read these words from President Johnson's speech:

For with a country as with a person, "What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

Which event in the play best reflects Johnson's words?
A. Beneatha considering going to Africa with Asagai
B. Travis and his friends playing with a rat in the alley
C. Walter ultimately refusing Lindner's offer
D. Mama wanting to buy Ruth a secondhand dresser

Respuesta :

Answer is C, Walter ultimately refusing Linder's offer, (apex)

C. Walter ultimately refusing Lindner's offer

Lindner offers to buyout Walter so that the family does not move into the Clybourne Park neighborhood. The money offered is significant and would be a great help to the family especially after they lost the money from the liquor store and for Beneatha's education. If Walter agrees to this buyout, he feels as though he would be losing his soul. The Clybourne Park Neighborhood Association does not want the Youngers to live in the neighborhood because of their race.
