The Sun is Also a Star Chapter 83: Natasha Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Natasha thinks about her relationship with her dad. She used to think the world of him and supported his dream of becoming an actor for even longer than her mom and Peter. 
  • Her mom used to complain about their finances and how they needed more than her dad was providing. 
  • Her dad was fired (or did he quit?) and said he'd use the free time to audition, but he didn't. 
  • One day after school, Natasha caught him reading lines for A Raisin in the Sun. He was embarrassed, and after that he stopped auditioning altogether. 
  • Everyone tried to pitch in to help the family make ends meet. 
  • Her dad got a lucky break when his friend decided to stage A Raisin in the Sun
  • Mom's first question was about how much the gig paid. That's rough. 
  • Natasha and Peter were shocked at her harsh comment, but they also realized she had a right to ask him.
