One of my best friends who I spent much of my childhood with, grew up in a much smaller house with parents who didn't earn much. In addition to having the same name, my friend's father had many similarities to Walter in A Raisin in the Sun, written by Lorraine Hansberry. They also both tried to invest in something and make a big deal out of it. «No... but after tonight. After what your father does tonight, there will be offices, lots of offices” (Hanseberry108). This is similar to my friend's father because both he and Walter, who was speaking in the quote, had big ideas and plans about something they probably didn't know much about and in the end, after little to no success, both of these men have less money to work with. This goes a long way when a person grows up in a home with less money because they are more likely to hold on tighter to what they have and less likely to be careless about unimportant purchases and wants. My friend is one who will always be seen taking care of what he has because it is something precious that was taught to him indirectly by his parents. This is a little different from my family because too often I notice that my brother doesn't take care of his personal things and ends up spending more money on new things that he wouldn't need if he knew smarter
