Act II

Oh Walter, you have gotten yourself into some trouble I see. Family is the most important thing in life, how could you just throw away your Mama's money like that? She asked one thing of you, and that was to put away money for Beneatha's schooling, and you couldn't do that. It's no wonder why your family is getting sick of you.

Mama has got her hands full now with the new "Welcoming Committee". Don't let them white folks scare you out of your new home and new life. You are just as good as them, if not better. Neighborhoods shouldn't be divided by color. Those white folks will realize it soon enough.

A Raisin in the Sun

The first act of this play has got me confused. Why wouldn't Ruth and Mama want Walter to take a risk and invest some of that money into a liquor store? My father was a very successful business man and he didn't get that way by being frugal with his money. If Ruth decides to keep the baby that's on the way then Walter is going to have to find a way to convince Mama to let him borrow some money.
