A Raisin in the Sun post 3

On moving day a man comes from Clyborne Park to the apartment basically offering them money to not move to the neighborhood. This is of course very upsetting to the whole family. This is probably the worst thing to do to your new neighbors. Discrimination was so bad that they thought black people moving near a white community would destroy it and its reputation.

One of Walters friends come over saying that Willy took all of his money and ran off with it. He did not just use 3500 but all 6500 which was Beneatha's money too. Mama gets mad and starts to beat him. Walter let his selfishness overcome himself in using all of the money and he was also foolish in giving his "friend" all that money and trusting him with it.

In scene III Mama says that they are not moving on account of that she will take the money from Mr. Linder. Walter is very down. I can understand. He wasn't happy in the first place and then his dream was taken away from him and he let down his family. This meant he had nothing left to lose except his pride. In taken the money to not move he would lose this too. So he made the decision that all of them were moving after all. This was probably the best idea because if they stayed the family would fall apart even more and Walter would no longer have any pride. The rest of the family agreed. I overalled thought this book was pretty good.
