The story relates to my life because everybody has struggles once in their life ... Some people struggles are worse than others . In this case the Youngers family struggles with money but they don't let their son Travis see their problems which is what my family does for me ... They don't want their child to see them struggling so they hide their problems so that their child won't have to worry about anything

This play tells the story of a lower-class black family's struggle to gain middle-class acceptance. When the play opens, Mama, the sixty-year-old mother of the family, is waiting for a $10,000 insurance check from the death of her husband, and the drama will focus primarily on how the $10,000 should be spent.I can Relate, last summer I lost my Granddaddy ,and he's insurance check came up to $856,000 ,but my Family ,and I had no idea how to send the money.
