A Raisin in the Sun is about an African American family living in South side slums of Chicago. The family has relieved a $10,000 life insurance check from the deceased Mr. Younger. Throughout the play, it shows the struggles the family has to go to on a day to day basis. One of the main parts to the play is when the family receives a $10,000 life check because of the death of "Mama's" husband. Mama has to decide what the money will go to. Mama wants to buy a new house for the family, Ruth wants the money to go to whatever Mama wants the money to go to, Beneatha wants the money to go to her schooling to become a doctor, and Walter wants the money to go to a new liquor store. In the end, the Youngers choose to live in an all-white neighborhood in Chicago called Clybourne Park. 

Through out the play all the family seems to care about is that $10,000 check. But, towards the end of the play they learn that life is not all about money. They realize that life is about standing up for what you believe in. Doing things that you want to do, even if people don't agree with you. And most importantly sticking with your family.

Suffragette

Suffragette shows the true story behind how hard women had to fight for their right to vote. It shows how they were treated in the work force and how even their husbands would abandoned them. This film has a true meaning and a powerful story behind it that people need to be aware of.

I really enjoyed this film. The film was pretty gruesome and very sad at parts. I really enjoyed it because it brings awareness to people who don't know what women had to go through just to be able to vote. I think this film is very eyeopening and very real to what it may have been like for suffragettes back in the early 20th century.
