I think back and the only characters that pop in my head are Chris Keller and Ann Deever from All My Sons. It's pretty much equal, I just can't decide. I like Chris because of his personality and the way he's secluded but yet so nice. He loves Ann and that's all that matters to him. It doesn't bother him that his mother doesn't agree with it. He loves so deeply too, that helped me like him the best. He loved his father so much that he made him innocent in his own mind. His father was his hero. I also liked Ann, she seemed so innocent and sweet. She came to the Keller house in hopes of marrying Chris and I think that is very brave knowing that there's a possibility that his family may not accept that.
Of all the plays we have read this semester I like All My Sons the best. It was the most interesting to me, it kept me going, not knowing what would happen next. Although it was sad, I loved the story line and the characters. It's crazy how for most of the play the author has you thinking that Joe is innocent. Everyone around him besides his son knew. It's sad that Kate wont accept the fact that her son Larry is dead. The family is somewhat close to each other yet they each have their own little worlds almost. They all function together but aren't really ever there together. It's sweet that Ann and Chris were going to get married, his brother was dead so that could be taken either way.

A Raisin In the Sun
Sometimes swallowing your pride is neccessary for survival.
In the play the Younger's are a very proud family. Beneatha is going to college to be a doctor and mama is always saying how she's proud of her ancestors. She talks about how far they've came from being slaves and sharecroppers. Walter is too proud to admit that he's wrong sometimes. When Lindner offers the family money to not move into their home they do not accept it because they would be ruining their name. Walter invites Lindner back after he loses the money and is going to accept his offer. As he talks to Lindner he realizes what he's done. If he accepts this money it would be a disgrace because they're better than that! He tells Lindner about his family's history and how proud they are and ends up that day finding himself and becoming a man.
A Raisin In the Sun
Once children are grown, parents are no longer responsible for them.
In the play, the whole family lives together. Lena which is Walter and Beneathas' mother continues to be the head of the house. It's her home that her husband and her worked hard for. In some families children are on their own but in this case they all stayed together. Parents will always be there for you but not necessarily be responsible for every little thing that you do. Lena tries her best to help Walter, she trusts him with the money and lets him be head of the household. He ends up showing he wasn't ready but she was still there for him. She helped him through all the trying times that he had, when he couldn't believe in himself.
A Raisin In the Sun
You should hold onto your dreams; if you work hard enough for them, they will come true.
In the play A Raisin In the Sun, all the characters dream big. They all want a new place to live. Walter wants very badly to be a business man. If you don't dream big or try big things you won't get anywhere is the way he thinks. He gives all his money away trying to invest. The family is trying hard to move out and start a good life. Beneatha is going to college to become a doctor, which is a big dream considering the time period in the play. Things weren't really working to her advantage. She would most likely be discriminated by her race and her sex.
