Natalya Piette A3 An abortion?! Okay, WTF. Mrs. Ruuamau I agree with everything you said yesterday... don't kill babies. It's so sad that it does happen as often and as secretively as it does. I realize that people have their lives and futures ahead of them but if they're mature enough to have sex then they should be mature enough to handle the consequences in a humane way, the right way.

John Burnett: First off, this book is much better than the other book. It first starts off with a lot of drama within a family, more so than the other book thats for sure. I can tell this book is going to be good because the people chosen for the parts make it so that its intresting to not only listen, but to read as well. I cant wait to read some more of this book next class.

Maryanne Alviar I really enjoy this book! It makes me laugh but at the same time, the author really knows how to entertain the readers! My favorite part so far was when Ruth asked her husband how he would like his eggs done. He said not scrambled but she did it anyways. I know that they argue a lot but i can kind of tell that they still LOVE each other. Also, I found it funny when their son needed money for the grocery store but needed money and his mom wouldn't give him any. So Walter, the father gave him 50 cents. When Walter had to leave the house he closed the door behind him but ended up coming back because he needed money for a "car thing." It was funny and I really love it when women prove guys wrong.

I really do enjoy this book so far, and once again mrs. Ruu did a great job at picking the parts for the play. This family reminds me of a typical black family in the ghetto, funny, smart elic, but vvery good willed people. This book has alot of what I would call "hidden" comedy, and I like that alot because I pick up on most all of it. I'm looking forward to continuing this book all the way through.

Heather Sonsteng i enjoy reading this book more than i did the other one. its a different perspective of living from the other book it was deffentaly entertaing for me this book has more humor than the other theres always something goin on i cant wait to continue to read this book

Danny Harrington So far this book is slow. Thats okay because from what i've heard about it it will get better. But i feel bad that the mom didn't get what she wanted to in life and that she just gave up because that happens so much nowadays. I'm glad that I am reading a part though.

John Dormi I feel bad for the family because they have to live in a small apartment. I can kind of relate to that. The funny part was when the mother and father were joking each other. They were talking about those eggs and going to work. That kid is funny too.  SIMONE B. I LOVE THE WAY THIS BOOK STARTED. IT IS SOOOO FUNNY. I LOVE HOW WALTER LEE ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING START TO SAY. I THINK IM GOING TO ENJOY READING THIS BOOK MORE THAN ANY OTHER BOOK WE HAVE READ IN THIS CLASS SO FAR. THE PEOPLE YOU ASSINGED TIO READ THE PARTS IS ALSO WHAT MAKES IT SO FUNNY. I CANT WAIT TO FINISH READING THE BOOK BECAUSE I KNOW IT’S GONNA BE GOOD, AND IT WILL KEEP ME UP IN CLASS!!!

I really like this book, i think it is very funny. And i am looking forward to reading it. From what i got from the book i think its going to be about the struggle for money or the family is going to hit it good and end up making good money and having a good life. But i don't know what to expect but i only know that it is going to be good. And i cant wait to see how it is going to turn out. Britney Hepburn

Christina Haldiman I think this book will be a lot better then the last book we read. I think some of the characters in the story are funny, but there is a lot of drama in the family. I am not exactly sure what is going to happen next, but I can't wait to find out.

Right now I'm not sure how much I like this book but as it unfolds you never know. I didn't really care for the last few books we read, but maybe this one will turn a new leaf for me. Other than that I don't really know what to say. Goeffrey Trolinger

Jelena helmer: I think this book is going to be better than the last one we read. I like how the relationship between the mom and the dad is discribed. It's a little bit ironically and that's good, it makes the book interestint. For example when the dad gives the son 50 cent for school and then another 50 cent and shortly after he left he realizes that5 he doesn't have any more money, so he went back and asks his wife for money. She said no to her son when he had asked her. That was funny. Or the situation when the mom asks the das how he wnts his eggs.. :) I think it's going to be good entertaihnment to read this book.

Jacob Lauver I like the way this book started off. It's a poor family, but they have many oppurtunities unfolding for them. The dad has got a business proposition to own a liquor store, and the mom is really skeptical about it. I think that this book will turn out to be really good, and that there will be some wealth in it for them. As for the readers, I like who was picked to read the parts. I feel like they match the people really well. I just can't wait to get deeper in the story.

__**shanel johnson i like this book because you really don't get a chance to read about african american families. the beginning is very funny how ruth and walter are fighting. when ruth say her son cannot get money, and walter gives him some anyway, trying to make a point, he end up needing it in the end. this book started off good and i am looking forward to reading more.**

GABBY MOORE: I PLAY BENETHA WHICH I AM VERY PLEASED WITH. THIS GIVES ME A CHANCE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE BOOK. THE BOOK IS GETTING VERY INTERSESTING, BUT IT THINK THAT I WILL CLIMAX WHEN MAMA GETS THE LIFE INSURENCE MONEY. BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH ITS HER MONEY EVERYONE I THINK WANTS A PIECE OF IT. FOR A POOR BLACK FAMILY IT IS ALOT OF MONEY. IT SEEMS LIKE SOME PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THERE HANDS OUT TO RECIEVE WHAT ISN'T THERES. I'M JUST GLAD THAT IT IS GETTING MORE INTERESTING, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE ARE READING IT.__

So far, I like this book. I feel so bad for the family because they live in such a small crappy house and they all have to share one bathroom. The book is good in my opinion. When we have people read the parts, the characters come to life and make the book more enjoyable to read.

I accually like this book so far. I like how real it is. The way they talk and act and even what they argue about. I love the humour in it as well. It makes it more interesting. This book is very easy to understand. :) I like it.

Thus far in the book I am very interested in what is going on, and I like the role I play as Asagai, but I can see some kind of a conflict arrising from him and Beneatha. Today in class I was really upset when I found out Ruth was pregnant and that she had went to see a doctor about an abortion, and the disscusion was just too much for me! Hopefully she doen't go through with it. :'-(
