bb homework 4/4/08

My theme is drama. Both version of A Raisin In The Sun were excellent, I enjoyed both movie. The theme of the play to me was drama . I say drama because, Even though they went through allot of family problems, in the end they got along with one another. Both movies had drama in them. But over all the best one to me was the 2008 version.


The reason i say the 2008 version was better is because, one is was in color the 1961 version was in black and white. Prior to that there was celebrities in the movie that i see in new movies today. One thing that was better in the 1961 version was the acting. They played the character's better than the one in 2008.(because of p. diddy)


Allot of drama happened in these movies, there was one scene when Ruth was pregnant and was thinking about getting an abortion. There was also drama when Lena gave Walter all the money to put in the bank and he gave it to his friend to invest in a liquor Company and the guy ran off with it. Every one was upset with him and was bring him down. There was a scene when Lena told Beneatha you shouldn't just love someone when their at their highest, it's when their at their lowest when they need your love the most. That quote to me meant allot, if people act like that today then maybe every one wont be mad at each other and stop killing one another. (We are one all ways as a racist and we need to stick together because anther people are watching us kill each other).


The theme of these movies are relevant in 2008 because love and drama is what the world is made of today. There is so much drama in the world with people in the world and some that care for each other and like being around good people.
