Title: A Review Of The Street
Review: The Street, by Ann Petry, is a worth-while read. While reading The Street, you are able to view the surroundings around the main character, Lutie Johnson, through not only her thoughts, but also those of other characters. The street is a character in itself, in this story. It is to blame for all of the problems experienced by the people that reside in the buildings that line its sides. Problems that range from lack of money, to sexual frustrations, to utter lonliness, all of which are lined with the feeling of total hopelessness. Most of these problems revolve around the main character, Lutie Johnson, in some way. She has been forced to move to this street, because she has no money, her husband is cheating, everyone believes she is compiled of every stereotype that exists, and her son needs a better place to be. You feel for the poor lady as hope after hope and dream after dream are shattered as each day goes by.
