Personal Connections

In A Raisin in the Sun the Younger family had to deal with racism. After Mama had got the Insurance money she went out and bought a house with some of the money. She bought the house in an all-white neighborhood.  The neighborhood was called Clybourne Park When the Younger family went to visit the house and they was outside in the backyard celebrating all the white people was mean mugging them. Then the Younger family looked at the white people and the white people just closed there widows.  They went back to their apartment and like the next day when Walter lee, Bennie, and Ruth was all there packing up there stuff somebody knocked on the door. Bennie opened up the door and it was a white man standing there. Bennie called Walter and he came over there to the man and asked him “what did he want” the man said, “Hey I’m Mr. Carl Linder from the Clybourne Park Association. The Younger family all looked at each other because they wandering what he doing at their house. Mr. Linder came to offer the Younger s a deal to reconsider moving into his (all white) neighborhood. They didn’t except the deal, they told him to get out of there house. This connects to the way the City Hall treated my Auntie. They would always write racists things on her papers, and they would make racists comments. She never did anything but the white people would always make up lies just to get here fired or in trouble. She got tired of it and just left and now she has a better job.
