  1. The atmosphere of the Younger household seems to have a lot of tension an jealousy. I think the mom should use as much money as she wants for her new house because it is much needed. Whatever is leftover she should split it evenly between the kids.

    1. The house is way to small and there isn't enough room for everbody. They have to share a bathroom and people are sleeping on the couch. If there is money leftover both kids should get the money evenly because that's a fair choice and wont cause tension in the family

    3. I think she should get some of the money but not all of it because everyone deserves financial help.

  3. The atmosphere in the household is very tense because the only thing on Walter and Bennie's minds are the money. In my opinion Mama should get all the money because she has sacrificed everything for her kids and she needs a new house. Also because a new house will benefit all of them because it will be a new spacious place for all of them.

  6. The atmosphere if the Younger household seems tense. I think the money should go to mama to buy a new house. This is the best option because the living conditions are not very good. They even share a bathroom with the neighbors!

    1. They can deal with the living situation. A new house won't help further education or help start a business! But mama can do what she wants.

    2. I believe that you are wrong David, they have been living in the same house for quite a while now and they get by, if Walter receives the money for his liquor store, he could make money and use that to buy the family a new house and that would make mama and Walter happy.

    3. but if they all split it up she can have a fighting chance for a new house and the rest of the family gets what they want also

    4. I would never trust Walter with my money if I was Mamma. I say she should keep it for herself to do what she wants!

  8. The air is thick, momma is annoyed with her son and doesn't wait to hear about his bar situation anymore. I'm going to split the money between momma and the kids. Momma gets 5,000 and the kids each get 2,500 each which will help them with schooling.

    1. I think they should get it equal because they all need the money

  9. The atmosphere is very tense. Everybody is so concerned with the money, that they're starting to almost turn on each other. I say the money goes to mama and she can do with it as she sees fit.

  10. The atmosphere is anxious. Everyone is worried about where the money is going and used for. I believe that Mama's idea of s new house is the one that should be picked. Its Mama's money anyways! She wants to make the best life for Travis!

    1. However, how is Beneatha going to pay for her education to become a doctor?

      Delete
  11. I believe the atmosphere in the household is very stressful, because everyone is worked up because of the new money that came in. I think that Walter should receive the money because he could use the money to build a liquor store and make money for the family

    1. How can you be so sure that Walter is going to make money of the liquor store!? He could even become an alcoholic!

      Delete
    2. No way! It is Mama's money and she should choose what is done with the money! Also she is thinking about Walter's kid and has his best interest at heart! Mama is always thinking of others first and the money is rightfully hers.

    3. Wha if the liquor store doesn't work out? They will lose all the money

      Delete
    4. What if the liquor business doesn't work out and they lose. It would be a waste of money.

      Delete
    5. A liquor store is a bad look for the family, which is why Mama needs to decide what to do with the money.

      Delete
    6. Walter's get rich plan could burn in flames in a matter of weeks. If the money goes to Bennie, her getting an education is something that nobody can take away, and she'll be able to make a life for herself and help the family.

      Delete
    7. I believe that the liquor store is not going to happen and Walter is going to loss his money

      Delete
    8. there is no way to tell that Walter will actually make money from the liquor store so it wouldn't be a good idea to give him all of the money from the check.

      Delete
  12. The atmosphere is tense and everyone is stressed out about the money. I think the mom should get 5 ,000 and the kids should split the rest.

  13. The atmosphere of the Younger household feels crazy and tension between one another. In my opinion, the inheritance money is going to the right person because she is the one who needs/wants it especially with the housing she lives in.

  14. The atmosphere I thought could be describe as tense. Throughout the scene there seem to be a lot tension between the characters, mostly because everyone seems mad at each other. I also believe mama has the right to say what happens to the money because its her.

  15. the atmosphere is really stressful with the family arguing. I think that the money should be split up evenly so that way everyone one gets what they want.

  16. Everyone is on edge in the house because nobody knows what to do with the money. I think the family should plan for the long run, and give half the money to Bennie for her schooling so she can become a doctor. The other half of the money should go towards a new house, or at least upgrade to a new apartment.

    1. Why would you favor Bennie, but give nothing to Walter so he won't be able to invest at all into the liquor store

      Delete
  17. The atmosphere in scene one is the tension between the kids because they both want the money. Mama should put all of her money towards the new house because it is her money from her husband. She has always wanted it because it will be her own house and she will not have to buy rent every month. Mama also wants a yard for Travis to play.

    1. I don't think all the money should go to mama because then how is the daughter is going to get her education. Beneatha will make good money in her career if she can get the education that she wants.

      Delete
  18. I think the atmosphere in the house is tense because mama and her husband seem to fight a lot like when they first get up they fight right away. Then the younger kids see them fighting so then they jump in and argue with them. But I think the money should be distributed evenly through out everyone so there is no more arguing between each other and so there is less tension!

    1. I think mama should get the money because they need a bigger house and there own bathroom.

  19. The money belongs to Mama and she should decide what to do with it. She could decide to move somewhere else where the family has there own bathroom and not have to share a bathroom with another family. Mama needs to take care of her family which is why they need to move.

    1. Why shouldn't the kids get any of the money?

  20. There is great tension among the characters because they are all trying to decide where the money is going.
    I believe the insurance money should be equally distributed among Mama, Beneatha, and Walter. They all need the money for various reasons including: to move to a new house, to pay for education, and invest in a liquor store.

    1. I think mama needs it most and then the rest of the money goes to the kids because mama needs it for the housing and taking care of her kids

    2. If the money is equally split between the characters that is not fair to mama. what if that was your money and others were debating on what THEY should with it?

    3. mama is the one inherited the check so she should be able to decide whats done with it.

  21. The atmosphere at the Younger household is very stressful because they just got a lot of money but they do not know what to do with it. I think most of the money should go to the parents because they haven't had anything nice. Then they should split the rest between the kids.

    3. I agree, the parents deserve something nice since they been living in a tough situation for a longer period of time.

    1. I think the mom should get the most because it is her money and a new house is a better option for them all. The kids don't need the money as badly as she does!

    2. I think the mom deserves it more than any of them and she would spend it better. she would spend it on what they need like a house.

      Delete
  23. The atmosphere in the play is tense. This is because everyone has a different opinion on where the inheritance should go. This is causing fights in the household. In my opinion mama should get all of the money to do with whatever she wants because she is the one in the inheritance

    1. I agree with you Chanse. All Walter wants to do is buy a liquor store that probably won't be successful because he would probably drink all of the alcohol and make no profit on it.

    2. I also agree. Willy harris might take advantage of Walter and might take all the profit

  24. the atmosphere is very tense because they all have different ideas of how they should spend the money.

  25. The atmosphere in this story I believe is intense because there is everybody that wants the money. I think Beneatha should get the money because she can use it for medical school. I also think it should go to Mama because she can use it to buy a new house that has more space.

  26. the atmosphere in the apartment is tense. the only thing on the kids minds are what are they gonna do with the money. in my personal opinion is that momma should be the one to decide what is done with the money.

  27. In my opinion I think that the mom should get most of the money and the rest should be split between the kids, because she was the wife of the husband who died and she is in control, of the money anyway. The mom really wants a new house but she could always remodel the house and get more space.

  28. The atmosphere is hectic and tense. I think that most of the money should go to Beneatha because she is going to put the money to use better than anyone else. I think that the rest of the money should go to Mama so she can get that house she has always wanted to live in and move out of the apartment.

  29. the atmosphere is really tense and being stressed out about who gets the money. I think the mom should use as much money as she wants to on the new house she wants that is her dream she always had, and then give the rest of the money between her kids.

  30. The atmosphere in the house is tense. I think the mom should get the money because she deserves it. A new house is a good way to spend the money.

  31. The atmosphere is very tense. Because the atmosphere is so tense I think that the family should split money evenly so that they can hopefully create some peace with each other.

  32. I think that the money should dose be divide up to mama and walter mama for a new place to rise the traives. walter wants to open the store I think that would be a was of money. But I would give him some of the money to keep him quit.

  33. The money that mama receives should be split up evenly. It will make the house less tense.

  35. The atmosphere in the Younger apartment is tense with the small living space. I believe the inheritance money should be given to Mama to buy a house which she has always longed for.

  36. The choice of who gets the money is ultimately Mamma's. Walter and Beneatha should have no say in what happens to the money because it was Mamma's husband that passed away. I know that he was Walter and Beneatha's father, but Mamma was undoubtedly closer to him then the kids. It's Mamma's husband, and Mamma's check, so there fore, it is Mamma's decision.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The choice on who gets the money or who deserves the money should be left up to mama she is the one who the money was left for. She should be able to make her own dreams come true on buying a new home for the family.
