5 questions

1.My dream is to go to the college and stay healthy. 2.Become a boss or a business man.  3.I will talk to my mom first. Then I will try my best to do it. If I realize that I cannot do it in real life, I will keep going and change my goal.  4.Maybe positive and ambitious. Because I have a kind of big and stressful dream, but I will try my best to do it.  5.I heard about one sentence before, it says the only thing you can not choose on the world is your parents. So if I live in this family, I will accept it and utilize the resource I can use, do my best.

A raisin in the sun

Setting: Younger’s house with old furnitures, couch covers, chairs was moved, several rooms Time: Sometime between World War II and the present. Place: Chicago’s Southside. Rush is a 30 years old woman and she is the mother of Travis, who is a 11-year-old boy. She was waking her son and her husband Walter up. Then Ruth and Walter had a conversation about money or something. Then Ruth starts to cook breakfast. Travis was in the bathroom. Ruth is angry about Travis that he got money from grandma.  I think later, everything is kind of around money. Travis asks his mother for 50 cents. His dad, Walter gives he some money. Then Walter argued with Ruth about the check. And Mama was talking about money with Ruth. That is something impressed me a lot.
