This quote shows that Walter is Prideful

"Yeah. Well--what i mean is that we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean--we are very proud people. And that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor--and we are very proud---. " p.148

(Explanation)This quote describes how Walter is prideful. The reason I say Walter is prideful is because he is good where he is at in life and he's always eager to get things done and is always open to go to the next step in life. He also chose to stay in the house because of his fathers hard work which he built the house brick by brick. He also is prideful because of all the hard work he's done and his reputation before he past away. I also feel he is prideful because he shows a good reputation just like his father and he takes up as being the man in the house. He stepped up and took control knowing all the hard work that comes with it.

I think that Walter is a character I can relate to in many ways. I feel bad for him because of the struggles they go through as a family. He tries to get his family in a better situation and he understands the position they are in in life. Through all they go through he tries to find a way and a better way for them to live. I can also relate to Walter because everything he goes through he lives his life day by day and continues to do what he thinks is best for his family and himself. For example, he attempted to invest in the bar to bring more money into the family which can help them out in the long run and could put them in a better situation. I feel overall Walter is a good person because of all the things he does for the family and all he tries to contribute.

The colors I choose are all blue and one yellow one. It shows diversity and how he stands out where he's from. Walter has the only black family in a all white neighbor hood. The picture symbolizes even though he's different he still continues his life no matter his differences. The mood of the picture is he's happy even though he is different from the rest and this relates to Walter because there different from the rest and they stand out but still remain happy.

The Climb

Miley Cyrus

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause

I feel this song relates to the character Walter in many ways. The lyrics of the song talks about the struggles and overcoming them. In the lyrics they talk about "The Struggles i'm facing, The chances i'm taking, Sometimes might knock me down but no i'm not breaking...". This means know matter the struggles you go through and the chances you take, you might fail but never give up. This relates to the Walter because he tries to open a bar for his family to help with financial issues and it didn't work out for him, but that didn't stop him from still trying to help out. It also means never give up its not about your struggles but its about how you deal with and overcome them. In the song they talk about it doesn't matter how long it takes or whats on the other side, it's the climb. The climb is your progress you made to overcome the obstacles your facing. Walter faced many obstacles that he came over. For example, he dealt with being different, because he was the only black family in a all white neighborhood which is something he had to deal with almost everyday, especially going to work.

“Mama, a job? I open and close car doors all day long. I drive a man around in his limousine and I say, ‘Yes, sir; no, sir; very good, sir; shall I take the Drive, sir?’ Mama, that ain’t no kind of job… that ain’t nothing at all.” P. 73
This quote relates to the theme in many ways. The quote talks about how how he doesn't look at his job as a real job opening and closing doors all day and saying yes sir and no sir. So this could relate to the theme dreams because he dreams for a better job and wants to start a bar to make more money and do something better than what he's doing. This quote also relates to the theme suffering because of one his job and there financial issues. He hates his job and suffers from saying yes and no sir all day. They also suffer when it comes to money issues that's why he's dealing with the job he has and hopes for a better job to help out more.
