On page 34 Walter shows his anger issues when he lashes out at Ruth and says, "DAMN MY EGGS DAMN ALL THE EGGS THAT EVER WERE."

on page 70 Walter again shows anger issues but this time shows determenation when he says, "WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME TODAY. He was referring to him trying to talk to mama about his liquor store.

I do sympathize with Walter for a select few reasons. One reason why is all the trust he put in Willy Harris just to get back stabbed. Another reason is how everyone in the family seems to dislike him. I do think he's a good person based on how he stood up and kept the house for his family.

This artwork relates to Walter because it shows determination which is a very strong trait. The art shows the man determined not fall off of the wave. These two are comparable because Walter is also holding but he's holding on to the broken parts of his family. His determination gets him in trouble with his liquor dream but helps bring his family back together with the house.

I love you
I love you

When I was young me and my mama had beef
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place
Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool
With the big boys, breaking all the rules
I shed tears with my baby sister
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
And even though we had different daddy's, the same drama
When things went wrong we'd blame mama
I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
Hugging on my mama from a jail cell
And who'd think in elementary?
Hey! I see the penitentiary, one day
And running from the police, that's right
Mama catch me, put a whooping to my backside
And even as a crack fiend, mama
You always was a black queen, mama
I finally understand
For a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man
(I know it ain't easy)
You always was committed
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
There's no way I can pay you back
But the plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Dear mama
Don't you know I love you?
Dear mama
Place no one above you
(Dear mama) Oh mama, I appreciate you
Although my shadow's gone
I will never leave you

Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
I was looking for a father he was gone
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hanging
I needed money of my own so I started slanging
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good putting money in your mailbox
I love paying rent when the rent's due
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
'Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me
And I could see you coming home after work late
You're in the kitchen trying to fix us a hot plate
Ya just working with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every Thanksgiving
But now the road got rough, you're alone
You're trying to raise two bad kids on your own
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Dear mama
Don't you know I love you?
Dear mama
Place no one above you
(Dear mama) Oh mama, I appreciate you
Although my shadow's gone
I will never leave you

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama
I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I'm hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act crazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Dear mama
Don't you know I love you?
Dear mama
Place no one above you
Oh mama, I appreciate you
Although my shadow's gone
I will never leave you

I appreciate you
I love you
I need you
Oh mama
I love you
Appreciate you
I need you
Oh mama

I appreciate you
I love you
I need you
Oh mama
I love you
Appreciate you
I need you
Oh mama

Dear Mama by Tupac relates to Walter in the way how Walter feels about mama and how he later will appreciate her. "Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me"

Walter was both the adversity and the ambition we got through all the trials and tribulations and was looking to blossom to wealth.
