RoT, HMC 3

The core text book "The Raisin In The Sun" have lots of common things in RoT,HMC. I'm going to call the former one Raisin and latter one Thunder from now on. Over all, both are all about African American in the U.S.A. They are struggling to live their life but there are many things that bother them. First of all, they are poor. Second of all, they have to face Whites prejudice against them. Third, some other fellow African Americans try to get their way. In Raisin, Willy takes Younger's money. In Thunder, T.J. asks Logans to help him ( By asking help, he involves Logans and as a result, Logans has to burn their land although he's been nothing but trouble for Logan family. He is a berk. But I think his role was to enhance how the Logan family is a good family to help poor fellows.)
Personally, I think Raisin and Thunder have so many wise remarks. Not only about family but also about dreams and prejudice.

    You did a great job of finding parallels between the two works. Just remember to spell check your entries before posting them.
