Although this novel takes place in the 1950's there are many families who still struggle with poverty as well as being pregnant at the same time. I feel for Ruth because if I was in her sitution of turmoil i wouldn't want to have a child either. I honestly dont think its right to have an abortion, only under certain circumstances such as rape etc. In Ruth's case, they knew there was a possibility that she could get pregnant and knew what kind of life style they were living in from before.
Beneatha is a typical teenager/ young adult- freeminded and spirited. She is in an arranged relationship in which she doesnt want to be do to the fact that she doesnt have mutual feelings for this guy. Her sister in law and mother want her to keep this relationship going being that the guy has money. There is hardly any way when a girls family forces her to be with someone she truly doesnt want to be with in todays American society
Mama is a very simple calming old woman who has the power in the household. Although she is a woman and the oldest she keeps everyone in check in the house.
Walter is a ambitious man of many dreams of owning a liquor store.
As Act 1 goes on, I, as a reader, wants to know what happens next because it relates to an everyday family of todays day and age.
