My comments on

“A Raisin in the Sun”

I put this movie in thinking when will it be over. I must say I enjoyed the movie. I watched the newer version with P. Diddy. The movie tells of all their dreams not just that of Walter. The focus was on him but they all had dreams and I think all of them came true or will. The mother just dreamed of her children becoming adults. The daughter dreamed of becoming a doctor. The wife dreamed of a house of her own. The grandson dreamed of his own bedroom. The son dreamed of a better life. Although Walter was the one who lost the money that could have made their dreams come true, he is also the one because he lost the money that made their dreams come true. Walter learned that money was not the answers to his dreams. He was already living his dream if he would only open his eyes and see what he had or as his mother said,” Today he became a man.” I even cried a little during the movie. Ruth made a tough choice as to keep her unborn child or have an abortion. She was getting an abortion for the wrong reason having another child would make her life a little tougher but it would not stop her dreams from coming true. Lena only dreamed that her children would grow up and be someone she could be proud of. Her children did just that. The not only had to have dreams but have some of the crushed to see what their dream really was. Although Benita did not become a doctor yet and will still have a tough road to travel to become one, she did learn not to give up a dream just because there is a rock in the road. You may stumble a little trying to achieve your dreams but that does not mean you have to give up on them. A person just has to work a little harder or change their dream a little. To me the story tells me no matter what happens in life never give up on your dreams no matter how far away they seem to be. If your life is not going in the way of your dream change your life so your dreams comes a little closer to you and above all else stay true to the person you are love your family more during the hard times and you may just find you are already living your dream.
