A Raisin in the Sun. (??)

   I apologize for my lack of posts. I was in Dallas with Madison, which was super fun! I would let you in on it but I didn't get very many pictures cause I couldn't bring my camera.. I was too scared. Haha. Instead we're just gonna jump right into what's currently on my plate of life. Note the title of this ever so lovely post. It's the name of a book. If I was a teacher I would probably say something like, "Predict what you think this book will be about based on the title. Is it a metaphorical term? If so, what two unlike items are being compared? Be sure to list any connotative words." I would rather jump in 45 degree water than go through the thought process to answer those questions. Really. But that's the route I'm going on. Are you smellin' what I'm steppin' in? I can't imagine that you're not.

"A Raisin in the Sun." That is the title of my Summer Reading Book.

   When I was first presented this assignment on the last day of school I was rather tempted to tear the ripe pieces of papers in half. Many times. More like into sixteenths. I, however, could not do that because, well, I guess I could have done that but it wouldn't have been a smart idea at all. So I didn't do that. I tucked it away very neatly into my folder.

   It's mid-June. It dawns on me one day that I haven't even purchased this book. Shortly after this thought I went to my local Barnes & Noble to buy it. That night, I started to read with a very bitter attitude. Let me be the first to tell you that I actually enjoyed what I was reading! It's in the form of a play, which I really appreciate being in theatre and all. Since it's a play there is no boring narration or forms of figurative language. Of course they wouldn't assign us this book to read unless it had strong themes and bunches of figurative language, the difference is that these things are portrayed through dialogue. I can understand these things when they're like that! So, the point of the story is that I like my summer reading book, it's true! When I finish the book and start the atrocious assignment I will tell you. So, till then..

Just Trust Me..
