In the article, A Raisin In the Sun, by, Brookes Atkinson, Brookes talks about the play the night of its premier. He talks about some of the character and the setting in which the play takes place. Brookes also mentions that the family is given a 10000 insurance claim for their father’s death. Walter, the man’s son, had big plans with that money. Although he had big plans they were not necessarily good ones. Walter wanted to start a liquor store. The family thought the idea was a bad one. Instead of giving Walter to buy a new one, Walters’s mom took the money and bought them a house.

a.       I like this sentence because it describes where they live and it also includes a F.A.S.T. word

2.       After a long delay the widow receives $10,000 as the premium on her husband's life insurance.

a.       I like this sentence, because the way it is written makes it seem like the money was a big deal to them, which it is.
