A question I have from today's reading is on page 24 it says the time this narrative takes place was sometime between World War II and the present, do they say this because they don't know exactly what time this narrative would have taken place based off of the way things were, or was it given so the reader could understand not much has changed from World War II to the present with a narrative like this meaning it still happens, the search for the ¨american dream¨ that isn't as expected?

What do you think mama will do with the 10,000 check she will be given?

One question I do have is why is Walter so disrespectful to Ruth? I understand he seems like a playful person, and that he was frustrated Ruth wasn’t supporting his ideas but he said multiple times that colored women have “small minds”.

Was there a life changing event or experience that caused Ruth to be stern/fugial? Her upbringing is bound to have affected her manner, seeing as every black family had it rough during that time. Or is she simply looking out for her family the only way she knows how?

Does Ruth actually have a job? I don't remember if she is employed or what line of work she is in.

"I want to know more about the dad and what his childhood was like. The dad doesn’t want to see that their family is struggling with money, maybe like he did when he was a child."

# data[].attributes.body
Why exactly is Ruth so against Walter's dream? Shouldn't she support him as a good wife should?

# data[].attributes.body
My question is are Walter's and Ruth form of parenting like good cop and bad cop? As in Walter being the good cop and Ruth being the bad cop towards their son?

# data[].attributes.body
I can't tell what one of the  themes or big ideas is so far?

If they are living in Chicago, how does the setting impact the story? Would this family struggle if they lived anywhere else?
