    very good job of portraying the emotions the characters were experiencing during the play. The strongest scene in he book would have to be when Walter turned down the money he would get for not moving into the neighborhood . I felt this took a lot of guts on his part.

His family became the most integrate

I compared Act One‚ Scene 2‚ in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday morning‚ and house cleaning is in process at the Youngers.

    Gault Mr. Russell AP Literature 22 Feb 2011 A Raisin in the Sun The play and the production of A Raisin in the Sun are comparable in multiple ways.
