my last page:
The most important thing that the Younger family had leant thorough out the end of the play was that no matter how much racism, hate, poverty issues they had was that they still had each other and family is the most important thing. There are some people that if they had all the money in the world and had every single wish and desire they would still not be satisfied. Human being naturally is never satisfied and craves more and more. We always look to those above us instead of those beneath us and therefore feel discontent with what we have. We never stop to think of all the blessings we were blessed with and that at any given time, even in a second, someone beloved to us may die and change our lives forever.

We always get sucked into this materialistic world and if you think about it most things in this life make us stray farther from what’s important to us. It makes our job way easier so we don’t have to appreciate them but just think of them not as blessings but that they’re supposed to be there. For example our jobs make us come home late and too tired just to spend some quality time with the kids. Nothing really stays with us anyway, when we die all that money that was earned with long draining hours and achy sweating backs will not go with you to the grave neither will your job and as a matter of fact neither will your husband and your kids! Even if we stopped to count our blessings we could never really count them because one thing leads to another blessing and then another, into a never-ending process. For the Younger family at the end they realized that all they really needed was to have a strong family and if they lived happy and content then that was all they really needed.
