Summary: Deep Characters
Review: I tried to read this book with an open mind, because I am the kind of person that hates these kind of books, but I was required to read it for English class; I was stuck with it.Even when I tried to open up my mind, I wasn't so excited about the plot. It's nice, but it isn't that interesting. But it's a short book though, so an inactive plot doesn't kill you. I understood that it wasn't suppose to be a super action adventure type of book (and it wasn't) but I'd rather just watch the movie. There was one thing that I really did enjoy about this story, and that is the characters. They have very clear personalities that differ greatly from each other. Mama, the older, wiser, one in the family, compares to Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird. Ruth is loving but in many cases portrays a harsher outside. I love Beneatha's outgoing personality. And Walter has his dreams and hopes that he never strives for. These are very involved and alive characters, which give the book a deeper meaning, and a more realistic life.

Summary: Captured you, yet there are better
Review: I had to read this book for an english class, but I did like it! it was an amazing use of charachters and setting, and the way they were placed into the plot was amazing. Yet previously, I had read To Kill A Mockingbord. I loved that. It is definately the best book I ever read. They both covered the idea of racism with african-americans, yet TKAMB (To Kill A...) explained it from a white childs point of view, unlike ARITS (A Raisin...). While ARITS covered many issues expierenced by any and all families, TKAM was perfect. It was just a magnificent example of american literature. I'm only 13, but I don't think there is any book even comparable to TKAM except this one. It's defineately worth your time, yet, if you haven't already read it, To kill a mockingbird, by Harper Lee is brilliant.

Summary: What a great book!
Review: I'm really not into plays and american history, but I had to read this book for english. I loved it! It has such great discriptions too! Like when it's describing the furnature as having, "to many people been sitting on it over the years and... we can see that at one time, a time remembered by this family, the furnature was selected with care and love, and possibly pride..." (pg.1) It's an amazing book and really shows what it would be like growing up in Chicago in the mid 1900's, as an african american family. I enjoyed it, so I hope you will too!

Summary: A Raisin In The Sun
Review: A Raisin In The Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry is a very
interesting book.It gives you alot of detail on the many
different family problems the Youngers had. It also shows
many examples of how many family members have arguements and
fights, and were able to talk about them. I would recommend
this book to many people because the author captures the readers
attention from the beginning to the end.

Summary: Rasin in the sun
Review: Rasin In The Sun was a well written story. Lorraine Hansberry really captured the reader, by using vivid details and her way of giving a character life in the story. The book was about a normal black family who tried to make their life better for their son and themselves. The family faced struggles just like any other family. This was during a time where there still was strong racism. But just like any other if they try hard enough they can overcome anything. I would recommend this to any reader that I would meet.

Summary: Extremely overrated
Review: This play is good but not great. I had to read this in eigth grade for English class. There's a lot of irony in that; our teacher made us read this book but would not allow us to read To Kill a Mockingbird, because she thought our parents wouldn't like us reading a book about racism! ARITS DOES deal with racism! The Younger family is compelled to live a hard life because they are black; in fact, when they finally get enough money to build a new life, they find the perfect house in a white neighborhood - and are instantly offered money to NOT move there. Last time I checked, that was considered racism.
I don't see how you can compare ARITS with TKAM; some say the difference is in black and white. Maybe so, but you must take into consideration that TKAM is told through the eyes of an innocent child, and cannot be expected to have the entire harsh perspective as ARITS does. I personally thought this play inappropriate for middle-school aged children, particularly because of some choice words, but that's just me. TKAM is a better choice for younger people on the topic of racism.
This play also might lose the interest and patience of the reader. The ending was very strong, as were some other parts, but on the whole the play is very verbose. There isn't really much action, just a family talking on and on about dreams that will never be, and why they won't ever be. And if that's what you're interested in, take philosophy class.

Summary: A Raisin In The Sun
Review: "A Raisin In The Sun" is a excellent play. I learned a lot from this play and I would recommand the book or movie to anyone. The play is about an African-American family who have slight financial problems and family disagreements. Overall I really enjoyed reading the play and learned never to trust anyone with valuable items.

Summary: Worst book ever !
Review: The play "A Raisin in the Sun" was a very boring book. There wasn't anything interesting about it. It was about a struggling black family that lost all the money they had. Chances are you won't be able to relate to anything in this book. The book ended before it even started.
