Vivian( A Lesson Before Dying) is a lot like Beneatha( A Raisin in the Sun) in the stories. I believe that they are both strong women. They remind me of very classy women for back in there day. I think that Jefferson( A Lesson Before Dying) and Walter Lee Younger Jr. ( A Raisin in the Sun) are a lot alike. I think this because they take things very seriously.
I chose to write about Mary Cassatt’s works of art because I like the balance and colors in her paintings. I liked the subject matter she chose, like mothers and children and everyday life. I also liked the fact that she never gave up on a career in art , even when
