Rasin in the Sun Journal Entry

Today I woke up, the day was fairly normal up until I had a run in with the police. They raided the local diner that was eating at. Things escalated and it became what seemed like an all out war. Though I was infuriated by the raid, I knew what I would face if I participated in the riot. Thinking quickly, I started running in the direction of my home. I was battered and bruised, but I successfully escaped from the riot. I did not stop running until I reached my home, which is a constant reminder that I may be able to escape the brawls and riots, but I can't escape the environment in which I am trapped.

    Good, strong "tone". I like how you made it seem like going against the law had consequences that were widely known. I couldn't really tell what "race" you were, but I really didn't have too because of the other textual evidence. Good overall entry, very convincing.

    I really like your entry. It certainly shows the conditions of the times and emphasizes the violence that was happening.
