“A Raisin in the Sun” is tad different from the plays we read before. It was strictly not about an event but about the hardship of the day to day life of living in the south Chicago harlem. It is about the reality and difficulty of making choices in order to move on into a…

Gah sales, I can’t say I’ve worked professionally as a salesman but I’ve worked at Emory telefund center (That’s where we call alumni and ask for donations) and the stress of calling and asking for a buy is just damn stressful.
