Brooks Atkinson wrote a review about A Raisin in the Sun which "touches on some serious problems". Brook Atkinson says "not tipped her play to prove one thing or another" these lines mean the play is very unbiased. She does not go far in a positive or negative way for any party, black or white. Brooks Atkinson says that the money tests the family and, "projects the family into a series of situations that test their individual characters." This line means that each person is tested in many ways. Walter because he is put on a roller-coaster. Mama breaks his heart by saying she bought a house. However, later she gives him 3500 dollars and he is elated. But, when he is told Willy Harris stole his money he was then sad and mad again. Brook Atkinson does a good job of saying what happened and how this relates to life or to the play.
