In the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and in the short story “Running from Racists” by Suzanne Seixas. Both the Younger’s and the Long’s experience troubled situations dealing with money. In A Raisin in the Sun the Younger’s are surrounded by financial problems through out the entire book. In the beginning is when we notice most of their money problems. On page 10 Travis asks his mother (Ruth) for .50 …showed first 75 words of 319 total…

…showed last 75 words of 319 total…savings…” in that very little quote we find out that the Longs are still trying to find a way to budget their money for their other son Reggie who has Down Syndrome. In conclusion the Younger’s and the Long’s have experienced financial problems and because of their color, getting out of their financial problems was rough and caused internal family problems that they had resolved which brought both families closer than they were.
