Review: "A Raisin In The Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry is about a black family living on the South Side of Chicago in the 1950s. The head of the family is Mama because her husband died. Youngers are about to receive insurance check for ten thousand dollars. Each of the adult members of the family has an idea what they would like to do with this money. Mama wants to buy a house, Walter wants a liquor store and Beneatha wants to be a doctor. Ruth discovers that she is pregnant, but fears if she has the child, she will put more financial pressure on the members of the family. Ruth thinks about abortion, however Mama would not let her.
Mama puts a down payment on a house for the whole family. This house is in Claybourne Park and all white folks live there.

Summary: A very good " Raisin in the Sun!"
Review: This book is extrodinary. It is about a family the Younger's, how in their every day lives they face many obstacles, financially as well as them being African-American, and living in those "hard times". I believe that in every family there is a strong arm. The strong arm in the Younger family is Mama who does anything at her reach to make things right. As there is a strong arm there can also be a "weak" arm. Walter son of Mama seems to belive that money is everything but as Mama once told him, " Now money is life, once upon a time freedom use to be life". Indeed the Younger's are to be admired, for they strive to make every of their dreams come true.

Summary: A Lesson for the Human Family
Review: In her play, Lorraine Hansberry indirectly poses many tough-to-formulate-an-answer questions: What hapens to a dream when it suspends in time? Does its power grow and ultimately force him to act to make it happen sometime in the future-if not in his lifetime then in the future members of his kin? On the other hand, does it eat away at him, crystallizing and internally segmenting his own derived purpose and meaning of life until it is indiscernible from its original state of grandeur and grace? And perhaps more importantly than the aforesaid: Are these questions and the experiences of her Youngers only confined to them--people of "their" color, "their" ethnicity, "their" people?The reader will find her work truly enriching and thought provoking. She doesn't impose censures or "beat around the bush." Her characters emote a sense of drive, passion, and hope that are truly at the VERY least reflections of many of our own lives. This story about dreams and what happens to them is certainly one worth reading about.

Summary: Powerful
Review: I recently read this play. Although I haven't seen it performed yet, I must say that it is certainly an excellent play that, given the appropriate actors, has the power to move the audience. At heart this play deals with dreams and racism. Some of the scenes, especially the last 5 - 10 pages will really move the readers/viewers through the skillful dialouge written by Ms. Hansberry. Overall, this is a powerful, enjoyable, moving play I'd recommend for anyone mature enough to appreciate it. As an interesting aside, in case you didn't know, the title "A Raisin in the Sun" comes from a Langston Hughes poem called "Dream Deferred."

Summary: My Book Review...
Review: The book I am reading is A Raisin in the Sun and in this book there are different characters and the main character in my book is this girl named Ruth. This book is about civil rights. The reason people that are younger than me should not read this book because of the grammer like (''A'int nobody better than me'')and they might use it if their parents do not want them to.

Summary: A truly moving play
Review: "A Raisin in the Sun," the play by Lorraine Hansberry, was produced in New York City in 1959. Hansberry creates the story of the Youngers, a struggling African-American family whose members deal with poverty, racism, and painful conflict among themselves as they reach for a better life. The Youngers are, in my opinion, one of the most unforgettable families in United States literature. Hansberry balances grim drama, comic moments, and redemptive love as the play unfolds. Although a few of the characters may seem a bit stereotypical, the play strikes me as surprisingly fresh after all these decades. It is also fascinating to hear the voices of three generations of a single family in this play. Ultimately, "Raisin" is a celebration of struggle, pride, and hope, in addition to being a historically important indictment of mid-20th century racism. This is essential reading for anybody with a serious interest in United States drama or African-American literature.

Summary: Slow, dull
Review: I read this book for my English class. It's not one that I would have read on my own though. I found it rather dull and slow most of the time. Maybe I just couldn't "get into it." Or maybe I just expected too much, though I don't know what exactly I expected. Maybe that was the problem. But hey, give it a shot! Many other people in my class enjoyed it a great deal.
