 * __ Raisin for May 21 A-3

KeViN HaRrIs __**So far now Mr. Harris is getting everything straight with the liquor store and it is going well, but at the house there seems to be a problem with cockroaches and Travis is chasing them around the house.  The apartment is dirty and Benethea has the nerve to invite someone over the house while it is dirty and her and her mother start to fuss at each other. After they are done arguing and what ever Ruth enters the room coming from the doctor to find out that she is two months pregnant.  This is all crazy because Lena thinks that she is not responsible enough to have a kid at her age, and Travis (me) is chasing rats in the streets and stuff.  These gets is worse then us they need to get there stuff straight.lol

__Emily Butler__  ok so benetha. is a playa. she has this richboy friend but she doesnt really like him for him. he doesnt really take her college seriously ethier. he thinks its still a jioke and that shes not goin to become a doctor. i love d the fact that she said shes going to become a doctor first and then get married if she really wanted to. she doesnt feel the need to have a man. and wen she does become adoctor shes gonna have all the money she needs and then some to give back to her mother. she likes to express herself by trying new things all the time. but the fact that her family spent so much money on the different things she wanted to try. that s alota money. now the part were mam slapped her because she said there was no god. im really glad she did slap her. i icouldnt blv that i had t read that for my chacteri it felt like i was betraying the lord. i jope i dont have to read something like that again.

Jessica Young I really love this play. If Ruth gets an abortion I will be devistated!! The play covers so many things that happen in a real family and I love it! I think the money should be saved for right now. I think Agasi is a great personand I want him and Bennie to be together. I think Bennie has a lot going for her. I love Travis I think he is the cutest little boy ever! Lena is the best mom and grandmother ever. I really want to find more out about Walter.

__Emily Butler__ this book gets better and better everytime i open it to read. im really excited about my part. when we start reading i cant wait to get to my part. but benetha and this guy ascagia i cant spell. but he seems like a really nnice guy. and the way that the book described him. he must be FINE!!! 4get that richh guy. pshh she needs to get with that afrian boy. and heas from africa. they could go all around the word and benethat is going to be ad octor too, so she could help all the little children of the world. this guy could take her on the ride of her life. they can go to new places, reach new heights, and still be bringing in money for her family and get hem moved out of that rat trap that they were only suposed to be staying in for soo long. but most importantly she can fall in love with this guy and truely know what and how it feels to be loved and treated soo right. thats how i am. always turning a guy down and acting like i dont like um, which is exactll what shes doing. Catherine Ware Wow this book is quite a change of pace from the other book, im actually really liking the book. The readers are doing an excellent job on reading the parts and showing the emotion of what is going on in the book. Its so sad to here that Ruth is pregnant and people dont approve, people should be happy about a baby. I mean i guess that there is a wrong time for anything and it will most certainly make things much more complicated. And this boy the benetha i dont know why he cannot fathom the idea of her becoming a doctor, by the way i missed what time period we are in. Any ways I agree with Emily, I like that she does not feel like she needs a man to complete her.

__MARKQUIS__ __ROBINSON__ THIS BOOK IS PRETTY EXICTING,.sO A MAN NAME JUST CAME INTO BENEATHA'S LIFE FOR THE FIRST TIME. i DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY OR SPELL HIS NAME, BUT HE SEEMS COOL. HE GAVE HER 2 ROBES THAT HIS GRANDMOTHER HAD MADE. SHE LOVES THE FACT THAT HE IS SO CARING. tHE CHECK HAS JUST COME IN THE MAIL AND EVERYBODY IS EXCITED EXCEPT FOR MAMA. SHE FEELS LIKE SHE SHOULD GET MORE THAT 10,000$. EVERYBODY ELSE DON'T SEEEM TO MIND. SHE GOT HERSELF ALL UPSET FOR THINKIN THAT SHE WILL GET MORE MONEY. THING ARE GONNA GET BETTA FOR THEM

Brianna Clarkston So i read momma and she is just plain out funny.i love the control that she pursuit.she is letting everybody know that she doesnt know what she is going to do with the check yet.I don't think walter should be able to use the money for that business.I think momma should put some of the money aside for bennie and her schooling. She should also us the money to get her a nice decent house if she is going to be living with ruth walter travis and bennie and the new baby. I really dont think ruth should be seeing that abortionist.Im so against that. and people ask me why...because it is...MURDER. plain and simple....enough of that now. momma is right ruth shouldnt be going to no abortionist.but on walters case it good that he is money orenited but he shouldnt jump at every oppournity that shows itself. bennie needs to stop being so snotty just because walter said she cant be no doctor.that should push her to prove him wrong and let him know that she can do and she could be bringing in a second income.travis is just so cute. you can tell that he really cares about his momma and his grandma. But momma holds the decision of the check.if she wants to throw it away or if she is going to put it to good use.But i think she will do the right thing.i kinda have a feeling that walter is going to take the money.... cant wait to read tomorrow :P Stanley Smith This is crazy. Now Momma still doesn't know what to do with the check and Ruth is pregnant and trying to get an abortion. When they find out shes getting an abortion momma is going to raise H#$%. I don't think Walter is going to be very happy about it either. I can't wait to read next class! The book got a bit more interesting with Benetha turning down that African guy, especially with her being pregnant. It also seems that she may've gone to an abortion clinic. That would not be a good thing, especially since she'd be ending a life or making the kid a mutant or something. Very very bizzare, in my opinion.

Mike Murray Although I don't condone the fact that Ruth is getting an abortion, I can't help but think that although inhumane,the abortion will save the baby from further suffering along the course of its life. The family is struggling enough as it is, and more mouths to feed would further complicate things, but another mystery that is yet to be answered is, what did mama do with the money that she got from her husband, and if they were in financial trouble supprting a baby couldn't she aid them in their trials and turmoil?

Brian Jolly I dont think that Ruth is going to get an abortion. She seems as though she is the type that will go to the clinic then right when its about to happen, then she wont do it. To me, Travis is the funniest character in the book. I wonder how the Youngers will spend the insurance money. I hope that they will finally be able to get out of the projects and live the American dream. Also I think that there that Beneatha will need to choose her feelings for which boy she wants to be with and she needs to remember where she came from.....
