Maybe a month ago and some weeks as a assigment for English class we read the book "A Raisin in the Sun's, " by Lorraine Hansberry. Basically the book is about a colored family that live in the southside of Chicago, IL. In the book itself it talks about how the family is srtuggling with money. And once they receieve a check they decide or a certain family member decides to go buy a house because the house that they are currently living in is to small and in really bad shape. The only bad thing though is that Mama decides to buy the new house in a white neighborhood. And in this time periods colored people and white people still don't get along that well. In a way my family and I sort of have it similar to we once moved and also bought this house. Once we got there though we noticed that there was only white people there. At first we could totally tell that they didn't like that us Mexicans moved into there. After a few weeks though they noticed that we weren't bad people and they started to accept us that's the difference from us and the book. They probably had a bad image of us Mexicans so that's how it's similar.

I agree with you about relating to the story I feel the same way you do. It always hasn't been easy at home sometimes it was hard knowing if the food in the fridge was going to last the whole week. We aren't rich like other people we have a low income to. And about the whole situation with your mother spending money on somethings that you really don't need well that's the same thing with my father. Overall we have the same feelings and ideas.
