First thoughts of A raisin In the Sun

"A Raisin In the Sun" is a play that portrays the main themes of money and race.  I thought the play was difficult to understand because of the different adversity and the different cultures throughout the play contradicting with each other. I had a hard time following some of the scenes and what was happening.  I think this play was almost trying to explain what the American Dream consists of and what it takes to get there.  The play was about the families living situation before they received a check and what they did with the money when they did receive the check. Everyone in the family had different visions of what to do with the check that caused tension throughout the family.  Race came into the play when they moved to an all white neighborhood and back then African Americans were not treated equal.  Overall, I think the play was good and portrayed some good life lessons about money and how race can affect living conditions.
