Greedy

" Now ain't that fine! You just got your mother's interest at heart, ain't you, girl? You such a nice girl- but if Mama got that money she can always take a few thousand and help you through school too- can't she?"  (pg.37)

During this certain scene Walter is having a discussion with Beneatha about the insurance money they will be receiving. Walter wants the insurance money to himself so he can open up a liquor store with some of his buddies. He thinks that it is ridiculous that Mama is willing to pay for Beneatha's medical school but she won't help Walter with the liquor store. Mama is does not want to pay for the liquor store because she doesn't want him to get caught up in liquor. Walter was being very greedy in this scene because he wanted the money to himself so he could startup his liquor store.

Stubborn

"Gone, what you mean Willy is gone? Gone where? You mean he went by himself. You mean he went off to Springfield by himself to take care of the license." (pg. 128)

Walter is really stubborn when he finds out that Willy Harris stole the insurance money. He doesn't think that Willy stole the money, and he wants to try and find Willy where ever he is. He is also very in denial about it because he doesn't want to think that the person who was gonna open up the liquor store with him would take his money. He doesn't want to be able to think that it was basically his fault that all the insurance money is gone. It wasn't his money in the first place, so he shouldn't of even had it with him.

Walter to me is a very selfish guy who thinks that everything he does has something good to it. Walter wanted all of the insurance money to himself so he could help himself get a job and get a lot of money from it. I do not feel sympathy for Walter. Everything that happened to him that was bad was all caused because of him. He did everything to himself and then blamed it on other people who were completely innocent. However, I do think that Walter is a good person and there is a lot of good in him but he doesn't know how to use it.

I chose this picture to relate to Walter. I chose this picture because it symbolizes how much Walter wanted the insurance money all to himself. This man in the picture is very happy that he has all of this money and Walter would've felt the same way if he got all the insurance money to himself. Both Walter and this man in the picture are very greedy when it comes to money. Walter would look really great in this picture because he fits this trait very well.

Greed is out,
Yes, yes, let’s shout,
Again and again:
Greed is out.

This poem relates to my character Walter. This poem is saying that the greed (which is wanting something for yourself) is describing a certain person. Walter is a very greedy person when it comes to money and that is also what this poem talks about. It states that most people are very greedy when it comes to money or being very famous. In Raisin In The Sun that is the case with Walter and the insurance money from his father's passing.

'Cause what we got is what we need
And everything else is only greed
It's greener on the other side, Oh why can't we be satisfied, oh

This song relates to Walter when he hasn't yet realized that no one else cares about the money but him. The family had everything they already needed but he didn't realize. All that Walter was focused on was the money that he could possibly have all to himself. Walter doesn't see that he already has everything he needs and that is a loving family but no he just wants something that he loves a lot and that is money and hopefully opening up his liquor store that he has been dreaming of. Walter needs to realize that money isn't everything and he needs to be less greedy.

Theme- Family is more important than anything else in life.

Quote- In the opening scene, Ruth and Travis bicker over money. It gets kind of heated, but in the end it's clear they love one another even when they fight. Though the Younger family may have it rough, they still love each other deeply.

I think that this quote supports my theme very well. In the opening scene Ruth and Travis are having an argument about money. Even though they do not have a lot of money they still like to focus on the one thing that they have and is the most important thing and that is family. During the argument they still love each other because they know that things will soon get better and yes, they could have some money but they still have each other and that is all that matters. Family will always be more important than anything else, as long as they have one another everything is going to be alright.
