"Raisin in The Sun" and "Romeo and Juliet"
Compare Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet. I'm sure there are dozens of ways they could be compared. Rather than spoil things by suggesting some comparisons I would ask you to come up with some creative way to do this. I will be disappointed with overly short answers. This is a question that begs for a thorough treatment.

In many ways they are the same and similar.
ReplyDeleteIn both Rasin in the sun and Romeo and Juliet, they have family drama. But in rasin in the sun it was over money. And in rand j it was about love. Both family's get something taken away either a life savings or a son and daughter. But, it was really similar because it talks about the hardship of being in a family and always or sometimes disagreeing with each other.
I'm going to compare Romeo and Walter. Both of them made bad decisions with things they blindly beleive in without doubt. Romeo just beleived that Juliet was really dead and he killed himself while Walter beleives in Willie about the liqour store and just invest all the insurance money in it and Willie just walks away with all of the money.
ReplyDeleteRaisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet are similar because both their families have drama. In Raisin in the Sun, the family had problems about money. In Romeo and Juliet, they had problems about love. They both loved something; one loved money and the other loved one another. Both Stories sacrificed something; one is losing a lot of money, the other, each other.
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliet and Raisin in The Sun has similarities and differences. The similar things they have are families, plays, seperation, and that they love each other.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is the style of the play, stories, and how they communicate.
1. In Romeo and Juliet, juliet was supposed to marry Paris,but she was in love with Romeo, and in the end was with/ married to Romeo. Well, Beneatha was dating George, but liked Asagai, and in also in the end was with Asagai like Romeo and Juliet.
ReplyDelete2. Walter was betrayed, wen Willy Harris took the money and ran away, Willy was supposed to be his best friend, and in a way that killed Walter by killing his dream. Like walter, mercutio was also betrayed when Tybalt killed him, he felt it was romeo's fault.
There are some similar things in both of the plays' In the`Raisin in the Sun` there is love theme in it, such as family love, and in `Romeo and Juilet` there's love in it as well but; as in--'In love.' And there are also problems that going on with them and their families.
ReplyDeleteI am going to compare the authors A Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet. Both authors were successful growing up, in their everyday lives, and as writers. They also both wrote many books and were both enjoyed by many people that read their pieces.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of ways that A Raisin in the Sun can be compared to Romeo and Juliet. In both books, the main characters are fighting for what they believe in. In A Raisin in the Sun they are fighting for equality among the African Americans and the whites. In Romeo and Juliet, they are fighting for the right to be together.
ReplyDeleteSome ways that Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet are similar:
ReplyDelete-They are both in tight situations
-There's someone/something who is pushing them to do something they don't want to do. (ex. Juliet's parents want her to marry paris and in Raisin in the Sun, they want Mama to spend her money on a liquor store.)
Some ways that they are different are:
-They take place in different time periods
-They are different races.
-Romeo and Juliet's families were more fortunate(financially) than the family in Rasin in the Sun.

The comparisons between A Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet are they both mainly focus on family problems. And both books, the families are having problems. In A Raisin in the Sun, the family is suffered through the rasicm. And in Romeo and Juliet, the couple was suffered through the hates that from the past. The members of the family of Romeo and Juliet suffered through the death of them.

ReplyDeleteromeo and juliet is mostly about love.

Romeo and Juliet : Raisin in the Sun
ReplyDelete-They have the same kind of wordings like play stanzas.
-There are families having problems.
-Diffent ethnic groups.
-Religous.
In Romeo and Juliet, the problem is that two lovers cant be together and in Rasin in the Sun, the problem is money. i think that Romeo and Walter are simlar because they are the ones that make the main mistake at the end that ruins their lives. Walter lost the money and Romeo killed himself when Juliet was not really dead.
ReplyDeletei think the Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet are similar.juliet and romeo want to live together, but paris is on their way. just like them, berneatha and to live w/ asagi but george is on thier way.
ReplyDeleteComparisions between Raisin in the Sun and Romeo and Juliet is that they both are plays. Also, they are both based in the past. Another comparision is that in both play, the families have problems to deal with. Like in Romeo and Juliet, they had to fight against the problem that their family held an ancient grudge against each other. In Raisin in the Sun, the family problem was racism and poverty.
ReplyDeletethey are similar because they are about two familias who have trouble with each other. and they are fighting to solve their prblems.
ReplyDeletethis book raisin in the sun and romeo and juliet are related because on both of the stories they are having some family problem and in juliet she had problems because he parents didnt really raise her the nurse did. in raisin in the sun the family is going through some problems because of the raisim in those days. thats how theu both relate to eachother
ReplyDeleteComparing Ruth from A raisin in the sun and Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. Both Ruth and Juliet are loving ladies. They care very deeply about their husbands. In both stories they both have some drama. Both of these are plays. They have different plots, Romeo and Juliet a feud between to family's and a forbidden love. A Raisin in the Sun a story of a african american family dealing with racisim and money issues. Romeo and Juliet had a rather sad ending, while A Raisin in the Sun had a very nice ending to it.
ReplyDeleteA raisin in the sun is about a black family in chicago. Romeo and Juliet is a love story written by shakespear. There are dozens of movies made from Romeo and Juliet, but there ius only one movie for a raisin in the sun. Raisin in the sun was revolved around money, and Romeo and Juliet was revolved around gang wars. Romeo and Juliet is a lot longer book than a raisin in the Sun. They are both plays. Romeo and Juliet was harder to understand while A Raisin in the Sun was simpilier.
ReplyDeletei think one similar thing between the two is they are both play act. one different thing about the two is that they are set in different time period.
