Reading Journal

First off, I kicked my laptop, then my eyes went wide open, because I realized that I had fallen asleep reading my play. So, of course, now that I'm up, I read the rest of it and am now writing my reading journal...

I like this part from scene one: "You-you are a nut. Thee is mad, boy." In the midst of arguing, this is what Mama tells her son, and I like this part because although they are arguing, it still managed to make me laugh. It seems as though all they've done in act one is argue, and argue about the same thing amongst different people, but nonetheless argue about money. So, the question I have is: how could they allow this "money" problem consume all of their time and energy?
