Once children are grown, their parents are no longer responsible for them.

Once children are grown, their parents are no longer responsible for them.

This picture taken from bing.com, represents the statement by showing a parent and a child. By holding hands we can imagine several scenerios, the parent could be helping the child cross the road. If we imagine this we know, the parent is taking care of the child. Who says a parents job is over after the child is grown? They must always be there to help their child "cross the road". A parents love will always be a represatation of their natural need to help their child no matter what age.

In A Raisin in the Sun, you have the character mamma who is constantly helping her two children, who are both grown. You have Walter, who probably requires his mothers help more than any other character. The picture represents Mamma helping Beneatha, and Walter, to "cross the street". In later years, young Travis will require help through adulthood, from Ruth his mother, and from his father Walter.
