A Raisin in the Sun

I've finished reading Act I
Scence One was a little confusing because it took me awhile to remember the characters and how they were related.
The play seems to be about a family, all living in the same apartment. The main concern of most of the family members is money. Ruth is concerned about money to support the family. Walter wants money to start a liquor business. Beneatha needs money for college to become a doctor. The only person not worried about money is Mama.

An interesting part of scence one was Mama and Beneathas arguement about God. Beneatha doesn't believe it God, but Mama does. Beneatha argues that God gets credit for humans own achievements, which seems like a good point.

In scence two we find out the Ruth is pregnant, and money becomes the focus again. I feel like Walters comment that "money is life" is true. People are constantly concerned with money to get better houses, better clothes, better cars, or in some cases to just get by.
