After much internal debate about what my blog post was going to be about, I have finally decided to do a tier list on the characters in A Raisin In The Sun. Now, you might be thinking, what characters could there be? There are like five important characters- Walter, Beneatha, Ruth, Mama- in the entire novel so what is there to rank?

I don’t know how to make zongzi or baoji or jiazi at all, and even if I learned, it wouldn’t be authentic like my parents’. Thinking of the future, I can only see myself lo
