Raisin B-2 p.2



This book totally started off much better than the last one we read. I love how this book has humor tied into it. Well it seems that the husband and the wife don't get along. And oh my goodness, it's amazing how this family is living! I don't think most people would be able to stand it with the things the way they are now. I would definitely have the worst time with sharing one bathroom. Travis hasn't complained about his living situation in the book yet, which to me shows that he has learned to live with it. I my favorite character in the book so far is Bennie just because of her sense of humor. I really do think that I'll enjoy this play very much and can't wait to read the whole thing

 [05 14 08] I`m excited to read this book ! My gosh .. I never read the actual book but I seen the movie about this book that we are reading in class. I really do like this book because it shows morals, life experiences, and hard life situations that some of us goes thru sometimes in life. Like in the book Walter [the father of the house] recieved little bit of money and he still get his family healthy. That's really amazing because we all know sometime in our lifetime life gets really tough. Walter trying to show off that he got money in front of his wife. Ruth the wifey do believe that he dont got that much money in his pocket. Thats why he came back in the house asking for money. I think he felt embarass going back in the house asking his wife for carefare. I think not most of the men want to show off that they get and brag about their money. They to feel that feeling that they are the MAN of the house. He's the bread winner for his family. So he was thinking and interested that him and his friends to open a liquor store. He believe that is a good business and Ruth don't like it. They argued about it all morning ! like cat and mouse ! [ lol ]. In Walter shoes he wanted better things for his family. He's like dreaming it big that he can achieve his dream. He knows that his family wanted something more comfortable as much as he do. That they need to take a new step that they need to move something bigger and better living than living in a small place and sharing one bathroom. So he's planning to co-own a liquor store. Man, this book in the introduction is already getting good and funny. Looking forward for more interesting things in this book. -Abbey Vale Cruz- KIARA- This book is very interesting. I love it already. It seems as though ruth and her husband have a hard time getting along. Its all most as though he doesn't want his son to know they're not doing so well as far as money wise. While ruth wants her son to see and to know whats going on he is being blinded by his own father. I'm guessing his father doesn't want him in the mind state of, "how are we going to get through the day". But I don't want to make speculations yet, but i do look froward into reading more about this book.

Mychael- So far i think this book is very interesting and find my self in to already..its funny and i can get a good visual of whats goin on in the book. Olivia Barnes-This book seems so different then the last one but similar at the same time they both seem to have a hard time living. This book so many emotions in the beginning. I love the relationship between ruth and the husband.I feel bad for them at the same time because of the enviorment that they are living in for intense sharing one bathroom with like three different families i just couldn't do it. There attitude in the morning most of them seem so positive or funny. The husband i love how he has so big of dreams and i do believe there going to come true.The wife on the other hand mrs.ruth she seems to always look at reality and knows that they need to work hard for them to have a better life.The son and mother relationship makes me so happy the way that they argue in the morning you know whatever they say to each other its out of love.I hope nothing bad happens soon because its great now but you know something bads going to happen i just have this feeling

Chelsea- This book is absolutely amazing! Its the best book we've read so far!! It is very humerous....i found myself laughing on numerous occasions....I can't wait to read more

Aldo C.- I like this book alot. It may be my favortie one of all the books we've read so far this year. I think the book says alot as far as love goes. That it doesn't matter what your surroundings are like. As long as two people know that they love each other then nothing else should matter.

Jenn Banks Its just like a normal guy to go and give out all their money and then not have any for when they actually need it. So then they go hit up their woman. Kids always feel the need to take their parents money for any kind of reason. My grandma always tries and give me money for no reason at all. That family reminds me of my own. Ramon Figueroa- Again Mrs Ruu has another great book for us to read!! The great thing about this book is that it is a play, giving many of us a part to read. The way everyone is our class has their own way to read is astounding and interesting. It gives us a sence of whats going on. I like the book because even though its in the olden days, i can still relate. It has a theme of comedy and suspense. I like how the writter showed a form of carma in the sence that he had the father try to be bigger than the mother by giving his son his carfare, after his mother said there was no money. And winding up needing money him self. lol I hope that more action comes out of this play.

Jordan Rodriguez - This books pretty interesting this far..its not as "attention grabbing" as the mice and men one but is kind of similar to the last book we read. it really explains alot about like love and what not. I think something bad is going to happen because every book has its lil climax and things get better, but right now we're just waiting to see ! This is a good book and not as boring as the ones in the begginning of the year.

Mychael- as we get futher in the book its more interesting to me. What i find interesting is how mama is really religious and doesnt like the lords name being used in her house

Mary martin The exposition of thiS booK staRted beTter t0 me thAn our lAst booK....I L0VeD THE MOViE ..i w0nDer if the b00k and m0viE arE similAr? i l0vE ruth and da husBands relaTionship...i jusT hate the fAct how the son is plAnnin on usin mamas money noT even tAkin nt0 ConsideRation whAt she wAnts 2 d0 with iT..

 Ricky Trujillo This book so far has had so much arguing and drama. I can only imagine what’s going to happen further on during the book. Honestly, I didn’t really pay that much attention last class because I was feeling sick. What I do remember is that the husband and his sister seem to fight a lot and ‘Mama’ is very religious and kept getting mad whenever someone used God’s name in vain. I wonder if Mama is going to give her children that insurance money because I don’t think she really wants it.

Mary Primm B2: since im one of the first people to comment this page i could say that so far it is very interesting. I play the role of beneatha who is very sarcastic and thinks she's better than everyone else. Im in love with my brother he's funny and his wife. the mother who plays role is cool to. Basically whats happening so far is that pop pop died and his money is comming in the mail. I think its 10,000 dollers and every one wants sum of that money but its up to the mother to make a decision on what she wants to do with it.

Jenn Banks: I love this book already the humor is so interesting and unique. I love all the characters as of right now. I love how the people in our class get so into the part and they just go all out with it. It makes the book so much more better. The last part that we read was about how the grandpa died and the mom gets the money and everyone is so excited to be geting it. I understand that they are low on money but like we said in class i think she rather have her husband back then some pathetic $10,000.And plus either way its up to her how much she gives them if any.

  Well this hasn't gotten any more interesting as before, but then again we didn't get to read that much today. So the part we read today had alot to do with the check Mama gets from her husbands death. It's $10,000 from his insurance policy and she always puts some of it towards Beneatha's schooling. Mama came up with the idea of using the rest to put a down payment on a two-story house for the family. Ruth should have totally just put her input on that. I know that she feels that it's Mama's money to do with what she wants, but I think that woud be a great idea for the whole family. It would definitely make their lives easier. I also believe that using the money for that cause would be way better than a stupid liquor store! I did enjoy the part where Mama was sort of getting on Ruth's back about the things she does with Travis. That was pretty humorous. I really hope this book ends with them living in a two-story home and Walter having some good paying job that doesn't include a liquor store.
