5/27/08 Mary Primm B2: story is getting better mama buys them a home with her money out a white neighboorhood. beneatha brings this guy named george over and acourse he's after one thing to. SHE CUTS HER HAIR 'wants it natural' she says. Walters ol selfish self is upset with his mothers choice of what she did in the morning. Honestly i think the mother made a nice decision but buying a house where she bought it at is a going to be a huggggeee problem. I can smell the cookies turnin burnt at the bottom now. I guess will see what happens later.

5/21/08 MARY PRIMM B2: The part of the story that whe are at is splendid. Me playing beneatha likes a guy asagai (ass-uh-guy) lol..but he's only after one thing and i think we all know what that means. Finally mama gets her check in the mail and we find out that Ruth is prego...acourse beneatha is a little upset because there is no room in the home they live in..Little nephew Travis is a pain in the anus!!..but is still loving.. i hope to see whats in store for tomrw.!!!

05 21 08 this is an interesting chapter. benethea is talking to this guy name asagai from nigeria. asagai went back to nigeria to give benethea a special beautiful robe from his sister. mama lena didnt like no visitor when the house is not clean and bennie still let asagai in the house. mama lena met this dood and she sounds mean when she asks questions about asagai country! but in the end mama lena still gave him respect and she wasnt rude or anything. after when asagai left is so sad that ruth is about to have an abortion or she already did? is so sad she wants to get rid of the baby because they dont have enough space in the house or they dont have any money to support another little child. she shouldnt have done the boinking in the first place when she knows they have a little difficult time with life and with the family. i really dont like what she did or she about to do with that poor child. -abbey vale cruz.

This chapter is about benethea is talking to fella who seems to want a lot more then just talkin to her. Her mom didnt want her to have him over becuse the house was a mess.I know how that feels because i dont like my friends coming over when my house is a mess.Out of respect to her mom i wouldnt have let him come over but he seeems very respectful to her even though we know he wants more from her daughter. Then we come to find out that ruth was pregnet and had an abortion. I dont know if i could every have one i think i would get way to emotional.It depends on the situation though but Mrs.Ruu was right its always what the girl wants and not the baby or the baby daddy.This chapter had a lot of sistuation with relationship in it and what happens to people.- olivia

Jordan Rodriguez -This books still not my favorite but its not bad... I think Asugai just wants a lil something not a relationship. And I dont think Ruth should get an abortion because she shouldnt terminate a life because its not convienient to her. Im still waiting to see whats gonna happen. Also mama better not waste that check...it better go to a decent cause. And once again Asagai is a baller..


 * 5.21.08 Jenn Carlberg ** Ok so this Asagai dude, is such a perv! I would have kicked him out then and there, lol! I hope that she doesn't just settle for this guy. I think that Ruth should just keep the baby. It would be a good reason for Mama to use the life insurance check for an actually house. I wish that Ruth would just say how she honestly feels to her family.

**Ricky Trujillo** So this book is finally having some serious issues now. I think Ruth should keep the baby, instead of getting an abortion. But that’s just her decision to make. How does the dad feel about it though? They haven’t really talked about his feelings about this subject. I wonder if he even knows she is pregnant. Asagai is such a little freak and he was so blunt with things too. You can definitely tell his culture in Africa is different than Benethea’s culture. Right now, I don’t think his intentions were bad. Maybe in Africa a relationship between a man and woman is really like that and people over there wouldn’t get offended. That’s just what I think. And I hope I’m right because it would be bad if he was just a horny guy who hooked-up with Benethea and never saw her again. Mama’s check finally came in the mail but I hate how Ruth doesn’t get the fact she is sad her husband is dead and that money makes her miss him. Travis and his friends are so weird though when they chased that rat outside. But they’re young, so I guess you just have a lot of energy and think everything is “cool”.

KIARA= IN THIS PART OF THE BOOK MAMA JUST HAS FINALLY GOT HER INSURENCE CHECK. THIS FAMILIY IS GOING THROUGH ALOT IN THIS SELECTION, RUTH VISITED THE ABORTION LADY, BENNIE IS TRYING TO FIND HER TRUE SELF, AND WALTER IS BEING A TAD BIT SELF CENTERED. ONE HE DOESNT WANT TO TAKE MAMA'S ADVICE WHEN SHE SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO TALK AND HE WANTS TO USE MAMA'S MONEY TO INVEST IN THE ALCOHOL STORE BUT MAMA REFUSED, HE GOT MAD AND STORMED OUT OF THE HOUSE. NOW I DO BELEIVE THAT A PERSON SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS BUT NOT WHEN A PERSON GO ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY. I PERSONALLY DONT THINK HE SHOULD HAVE GOT MAD ABOUT MAMA REJECTION, HE SHOULD HAVE SIMPLY JUST SAID THAT HE UNDERSTANDS INSTEAD OF GETTING ALL WORKED UP ABOUT IT. I LOOK AT LIKE ITS MAMA'S MONEY SHE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT EVER SHE WISHES WITH THE MONEY. MAMA JUST WANT THE BEST FOR EVEYONE, IF SHE INVESTS SHE'S HELPING HER SON TO BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC. AND HE ALREADY HAVE THAT PROBLEM. I LOVE THIS BOOK MORE AND MORE, EACHDAY WE READ IT. THANKS FOR PICKING SUCH A WONDERFUL BOOK.

Chelsea Spruill In this part of the story Beanetha's friend Asugai came over for the first time, even thoguh the house wasn't tidied up like it should've been. Mama at this part of the story reminded me so much of my mom because my mom hate s having people over the the house when its not cleaned!! ALso Ruth found out that she was pregnant. she told mama that she went to the doctor, but mama thinks that she went to see a lady about an aborton. I waonder what Ruth's goin to do!!! Can't wait to read more!!!!

Jenn Banks: this is a great book. It is full of humor and real life situations. When Asugai came over to Benethas i was so shocked by how nice and romantic he was. Not alot of guys are like that when they are young. So it was really shocking when he first started talking. Then right befor that Ruth finds out she's pregnant but what makes it worst is that she might be considering an abortion. No body should have the free right to kill a living being. I can't wait to find out what will go on in the book. As of right now i am truely loving it.

I’ve taking a liking to beneatha; she’s very well educated and uses her words with extreme care. She’s very out spoken and tells whatever on her mind in respectful manner. Some times it might sound like attitude but it’s a well formed attitude she doesn’t step over the line when she’s speaking to adult or people that are older then her. So far she’s the only character that I’ve taken a liking to.

This is a real good book. i think ruth should keep the baby. i think beneatha dosen't really know whats she wants to do with ababba. what ever his name is. And the grandmother finally got her money. it is about time. i think she should use the money for someting that would benifit the whole family

Mychael- the book gets better and better but im shocked how Ruth got rid of her baby and still hasnt told Walter im sure he aint want to listen because he doesnt feel nebody listens to him but still. i wonder whats goin to happen next**

**05 27 08** darn, i really didn't pay attention and read with the class. so far i know that Walter is going monkey crazy! he came home from outside really drunk! he was acting up and Ruth want him to calm down because the crazy talks he's talking about is not even necessary. walter find out that his wife is having a baby because mama lena told him what was going on because he need to straighten up. the house is going crazy! in the other hand benetha is dating this guy name george. they came back to the house and george wanted to get something out of her. beneatha is more like the lady who wanted to talk and have a good conversation with the guy so they can understand about each other and know what things they like and have in common with. now benetha is talking that george is a fool and she went to mama and told her about it. mama said that she need to leave alone george before she wasted her own time with him. beneatha thank her for that knowing her mama is there to support her with anything she needs help with. benethea is very smart to know what type of guys she is dating for the first while they are dating. i guess she knows the tricks and guys play in the relationship dating.

In this part of the book i was wrong and she didnt get an abortion she was in thought process of getting one.It starts a conflict like it ussally does in those situation. The father of the unborn baby didnt even know about this situation she was tryin to precent the idea to him but he wasnt listening to her.I dont know how i would react to something like that.As a teenager and if i got pregnet i would cry and be so emotional distrot. The house was just crazy and when the father found out he ran and came home drunk. With him acting like a crazy man i can sort of see why she would react the way she did on the abortion. Then some good news came and the grandmother was going to buy a new house but not knowing that the community was a great place for black people read in the newspaper that they blew up a black persons home. Benthea during this whole news seem to have a hard time with relationships it seems to me. I wouldnt like to have to date someone just because there rich.I think in the end Benthea will find someone really special in this book.-Olivia Barnes 5-27-08 Kiara- In this part of the book Ruth has not yet got an abortion, she couldn’t go through with it. Walter is getting drunk and acting like a complete idiot, insulting everyone and jumping on top of things. Mama just brought terrific news to the house as far as what’s important. Mama has bought a house, but the shocking news is that it’s a no black’s area. Walter doesn’t like the thought but Ruth loves it. Walter has just found out that Ruth wants to terminate her baby before it’s too late. Walter is shocked, but they actually sat and talked about it and understood each other. Beneatha is going back to her ancestor times, she’s acting like she’s African. Listening to African music, studying their culture and even dressing like them. I believe that Walter needs a reality check; he can’t always runoff or get drunk every time a problem comes up. He also needs to realize that he has a good wife who obviously agreed to stay by his side every step of the way no matter the hard times. He thinks that everything has to go his way; mama did a good and thoughtful deed if you ask me. He had no right throwing things in her face the way he did. The book is getting extremely interesting, will Ruth keep the baby, will Walter finely man up to the situation, will they become a close family, and will they overcome their fears of moving into the new house, these are some of many questions that are beating my head apart. I can’t wait to read more  J

**5.28.08 Jenn Carlberg** I'm soooo happy that Mama bought a house for the whole family. It bothers me though that Walter had to make her feel like crap about it. I think that a new house would benefit the family in many more different ways than a silly liquor store. This should help Ruth's decision about keeping the baby. And I don't know why Walter didn't think that Ruth would actually do it. Apparently their relationship is changing and they don't know eachother like they used to. They got to do something with their relationship though before it starts to affect Travis. I'm glad Mama is there with them. Who knows where that family would be without her. Well it would pretty much be lost. I hope more good news is coming in this book.

Ramon Figueroa 5/28/08 I have to admit, today Mrs. Ruu hit on a subject that I know much about. But the way she was able explain it was so great, it made me stop and think and im still thinking about what she said. But to tie it into today’s reading, we have hit a crucial part in the book, mama finally got the check. I don’t know how Mrs. Ruu does it, but time after time she gives me a reading part that I can really relate to!! That fact that Walter feels that his mom is crushing his dreams is in a way exactly how I feel. To have ideas and dreams, and to know that they will never come true has a pain that can’t be understood unless your going through it. I ecstatic to see what going to happen next, even though im pretty sure I know what.

**Amber Williams B2** Beneatha cutting her hair is a bit extreme. I like the fact that George still took her out even with her apprence looking out of order. Beneatha is looking for the new beneatha. She wants to become in depended and she also is at the point where she trying to find her place in the world. Walter being selfish and fair is having a fit over money that doesn’t even belong to him; he should appreciate what his mother it’s trying to do. She knows that all they need is breathing room.

**Ricky 5/28/08** I wasn’t in class on Tuesday so I can’t really say anything. But I have been reading what other people have wrote and it sounded like an interesting chapter.
