In Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry does not reject integration or the economic and moral promise of the American dream;
she does basically agree that the American dream is still in place. Notice the verb DOES NOT REJECT. she does not push back the American dream. We do know , on the other side, to what degree she agrees or accepts it. I.E. she thinks that the dream is realized 100% by all the American people or only 20% realized it and 80% or failed ?
rather, she remains loyal to this dream
basically she still believes the dream
while looking, realistically, at its incomplete realization.
However, she points out that the dream itself (as I made an example in the previous sentence), in reality, is NOT accomplished by everyone.
The dream exists but not all people chased it
realized=chased= accomplished= nailed=targeted=catched
I hope now is more clear
couple more follow up Qs
1.
In the first sentence we understand that Hansberry does not reject the American dream but she talks about 2 aspects of the American dream: integration as well as economic and moral promises. Later in the paragraph she talks about race concerns vs human reconciliation (ie. "...Hansberry’s intense concern for her race with her ideal of human reconciliation."). When I read the paragraph entirely, there is no mention of what percent of the American dream is accomplished. All the examples in the paragraph reflect the concept of integration, which ties back to 1 of the 2 aspects Hansberry mentions in the first sentence. That is why I dont see how "accomplished" can replace "realization".
she remains loyal to this dream while looking, realistically, at its (AMERICAN DREAM) incomplete realization. ORIGINAL
she remains loyal to this dream while looking, realistically, at its (AMERICAN DREAM) incomplete depiction.
she remains loyal to this dream while looking, realistically, at its (AMERICAN DREAM) incomplete accomplishment.

I want to clarify a point in your previous response.
You stated: "We do know , on the other side, to what degree she agrees or accepts it. I.E. she thinks that the dream is realized 100% by all the American people or only 20% realized it and 80% or failed ?"
I argue: we do NOT know to what degree Hansberry accepts/rejects the American Dream. So im confused by your statement above.
