A Raisin in the Sun

The connection that the play A Raisin in the Sun had towards my family was my grandpa was in the Great Depression. Their family didn't have a lot of money just like other people in the Great Depression but my grandpa had other siblings that lived with him which made it harder on his dad to get the money to feed them and provide clothes and things of that sort. The most my grandpa got was an orange or a fruit of some sort for Christmas, in that time that was really had to get. So the connection that my grandpa with the play is he also had to endure some of the same things the Younger family did. Losing 1500 dollars when your dad was 18 must have been hard. I also think that your family did have a connection to the play.

  1. Hi Andres. I'm sure my grandfather remembers some of those things as well. i couldn't imagine getting just an orange for Christmas.
