  1. Yes I believe she did because the family needed the house but also it made a lot of tension in the house and the location of the house isn't where Walter and ruth excepted.

    2. It is a bad location, but it is good for the family to own their own house and re unite alone in a separate house.

    3. The family should have taken the money, then buy a house somewhere else

    4. I agree with Kevin because the family could have just bought a house somewhere else with the extra cash they would have gotten

  2. I believe mama did not make the right decision because other back's in the neighborhood were run out of the town.

    1. Yes, but you also have to remember the household there living in now and how many people r living in the house. They share one bathroom with in the whole apartment

    2. Just because some other black family got run out of town, it doesn't mean the Younger family will. They should stand up to the whites!

    3. They have to be brave and stand up for their basic rights of living where they want to. Mama has the best interest of the family at heart and needs to do what is best for the family.

    1. What if the Younger family get run out of town or bombed, they would have been better off living in their old house in safety.

    2. What if the family get ran out of their house and then they loss every thing

  4. I believe that mama did make the right decision when getting a new house, but she shouldn't have picked Clybuourne park. The people living in that part of town might not welcome them very kindly.

    1. I agree with you Nate!. they should have picked a different neighbor hood but they definitely needed to move.

  5. I think mama did make a good decision by moving to Clybourne Park because it will be a nice house that will keep the family together. It might be risky and the community might not want them but it is what is best for the family and she has to do what is best for the family.

    1. It is more dangerous than risky! By being black they will have a hard time being accepted.

    2. I agree. Mama has to do what is best for the family, and buying the house was her best decision.

  6. I believe Mama didn't make a good decision in buying the house because it will cause more chaos within the family. A better location is needed.

    1. I think she did make a good decision because it shouldn't matter where she lives and she shouldn't have to live somewhere else just because of the color of her skin. She is leading by good example and showing her family her strength.

    2. where could they find a better location? or a house of the same quality for the same price?

      Delete
    3. Even though she didn't know what kind of things were going on because she wanted a new house for the family. She chose the right thing to do at the time!

      Delete
    4. I think mama did make a good decision because know they are out of the small apartment.

      Delete
    5. Mamma did make the right decision because they have no room in there house for all their family.

      Delete
    6. They need more room because their family is growing and they need a new start somewhere else.

      Delete
    7. Mama made the right choice because the family is still growing with the baby on the way and they desperately need more room. It shouldn't matter where it is.

      Delete
  7. Yes because she found a perfect house there that fit their family, and it's affordable unlike all the other houses that were offered to her. It caused a lot of tension in the house because some of the family members didn't like that it was in a white flight neighborhood. I believe mama made this choice because it was best for her family and she doesn't care about the color of her families skin.

  8. Personally I think she made the right decision in a way. because she still had money left over to give to her kids and Travis has a yard to himself and even his own room. Then again it is in an all white neighborhood and where recently there was an African American who was attacked.

    1. Yes it may be dangerous to move into an all white neighborhood; However, this will hopefully keep the family together by making this big move.

    2. It is a big decision to move there and be the only black family living there, and it will be scary but I think they are making the right decision.

  9. I think mama made the right decision because they did need a new house. Also by buying a new house it affects more than just mama, it also affects or helps the whole family.

  10. I believe she didn't know what was happening at the time but once she saw what happened on the news it made her think about it a little more. Plus having the white people not wanting them there and trying to buy them out so they don't have to live there is so rude. With the tension in house it wouldn't be good to move somewhere there is more tension in the neighborhood.

    1. That's true but they needed a bigger house that could actually fit the entire family.

    2. Maybe moving to the house could bring the family closer together than that tiny apartment where the tension was high

      Delete
  11. I believe that mama is doing the right thing by buying the house. Everyone was extremely tense and everyone wanted to do their own ideas with the money. By buying the house, mama solved the problem of who should get the money.

  12. I think mama made a good decision buying the house in Clybourne Park. It is a bigger house for the family to live in. They don't need to share the bathroom with any neighbor anymore.

    1. The white neighbors might be racist and not welcome them though.

  13. I think mama made the right decision with buying the new house because it will keep the family together. Then she even gave her kids some of the money to help them with their dreams

  14. Yes she made a wise decision because they needed to move into a larger home. They did not have enough room in the apartment and Travis and the new baby needed room to grow. If she had given the money to Walter or Beneatha they would have used all the money on the business and schooling without leaving any for the house.

    1. I agree. This is going to be a wonderful place where the children will have there own rooms and they can play outside. (:

  15. I believe Mama made the right decision to buy the house because the family needs a more open place to relieve stress from their current place. Even though its an all white neighborhood maybe things wont be so bad.

    1. I totally agree with you! Mama did what she thought was best.

  16. I believe Mama made the right decision by moving to Clybourne park, because Mama needed a new house and there wasn't very much living space for her and Travis. Mama also did not like the idea that she had to share it with some other people.

    1. I totally agree with you mama did the best thing she did

  17. Yes mama made the right move. They have little room in the apartment because Travis sleeps on the sofa and they have another baby on the way. The only problem that may occur is the neighborhood is a all white one.

    1. I agree that the only issues the that its a white neighborhood.

  18. I believe that mama made the right decision on buying the new house but it should have been somewhere else and not Clybourne Park because they might not like living in a white neighborhood.

    1. I agree they shouldn't have moved to the park.

  19. yes because Travis needs somewhere he can run around and have some space. plus the money is to do with as she pleases. She should have found a different neighborhood, because the one that she chose was a predominantly white neighborhood. This could prove to cause problems for the family.

    1. Yes I agree the predominantly white neighborhood may cause problems once they move in.

  20. no because they are not going to like living in the house.They are not going to fit in because it is an all white neighborhood. Another reason its not a good decision is she spent all the money and didn't share it.

  21. In my opinion I think that it is a good idea but also a bad idea because they will be the only blacks in the neighborhood. The family needs a bigger house for their family and Walter can still start up hos business.

  22. I think the decision on buying the house was the correct choice. There's one problem though, Mama bought the house on a white neighborhood and discrimination is expected against the family.

  23. I think mama did make the right decision by buying the house because it's better for the family. For example Travis won't have to sleep on a couch, he gets to sleep in his own room. Mama can plant her gardens outside now instead of just having it sit on the window sill. The house is a lot better than what they are living in.

  24. I think that she did the right thing because that is her money and she can do what she wants with it. If she want to buy a house go and if she dose not what to give it to any she has the right to do that!!!

  25. I think mama made the right choice in buying the house. No matter where it is, she is finally pursuing her dream in owning her very own house. Also it was the right thing because it will be better fir the family as a whole.

  26. It was Mamas money so she could do whatever she wanted with the money. She made the decision of buying the house and I believe she made the right decision because they really need it the house and that was the less expensive house.

    ReplyDelete
  27. yes I think it was the right decision because now they can have a fresh start. also they don't have to share a bathroom, they are going to have more space. another thing is that she didn't have to choose who to give the money to or split it up. I think that since it was rightfully hers, she should spend it how she wants to.

  28. I do think Mama made the right decision to buy the house. The apartment that they were living in was if small. Travis needs a place outside to play and his own room. Mama always wanted her own house and now she finally has the chance to achieve her dream and she made the right decision to buy the house.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I believe she made the right decision because it is her money and she has the say in what happens to the money. It is about time she gets to live her dream by buying the house. It brought the family back together and now they have their own bathrooms. Travis also has a bedroom now.

  30. I think mama made the right decision by buy the house because the family need a new family to live and for there dreams to come true

  31. They should have taken Linder's money and moved to a safer neighborhood.

  32. If walter would have taken linders money the whole family would have lost pride in one another

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think the family could have taken the money from Mr. Lindner and bought a house in some other neighborhood, but what mama did was the best in her opinion

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think Mama made the right decision on behalf of the family because it is her money and she deserves to make the final decision. She has a strong stand to purchase a house because she wants to have a house where Travis can play outside in the yard. Although the house is located in a predominately white neighborhood, it is the most price affordable house on the market.

  35. I think mama made the right choice because it benefits the family and because it shows Travis not to put up with disrespect from white people.
