A Raison In the Sun

Hard working family named the Youngers that struggle to get by. On the first day of reading I stopped on page 108 or when Travis tells them he wants to become a bus driver. The beginning of the story starts off with the setting being in their living room and how if it wasn’t so battered it would be very well decorated. They live in an apartment in Chicago’s Southside and Ruth the mother works very hard to keep her son and her husband in line which seems like a very hard task.
Walter seems like all he wants is money. His reasoning is he believes they deserve everything better then what they have now. Well his father has passed away and the insurance company was sending a check. This was all that Walter could focus on and came up with all these extravagant ideas but, there was something he was forgetting and Ruth his wife quickly made sure he realized his mistake. The money was his mother’s and not his to deal with. He had already made plans on buying a liquor store with one of his friends.
