I liked the movie and the book. I think that the situation can still be applied. well, the part where the Walter is obsessed with the liquor store, some people will gamble all they have for a dream that might not even happen. The same thing that happened with Willy Harris, where he ran with the money that wasn't his. The casino is a great example, people believe that they can become rich, by gambling and in a few moments their money can go away. I felt sorry for Ruth, she wanted the family to get along, I almost cried when Walter told Mr. Lindner that they were moving in to their house, Ruth's face was priceless. I really enjoyed the play.

At the end when Walter told Mr. Lindner that his family and him were still going to movie to their house. It showed improvement in his behavior and his thoughts. He realized that his son would be the one suffering the consequences if he didn't choose right.

I think Beneatha is cool. I like how she tells the truth. I like how she makes Walter angry and upset. When she said she wouldn't date George, because he "knew he was rich". She meant that he made it obvious he was rich, he would show it off and make everyone feel bad.

At the beginning of the book, I thought that Walter was a bit crazy because he kept doing things to upset his wife. Like give money to Travis after Ruth told him she didn't have money.

I don't like how Walter treats the women in the house. His mom, sister and wife get yelled at. he takes out all the anger on them.
