As in Walter being the good cop and Ruth being the bad cop towards their son?]]> 2020-09-04 04:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/katyblackmon/2309scxtqtvhwd5z/wish/720148635 katyblackmon https://padlet.com/katyblackmon/2309scxtqtvhwd5z/wish/720153258 Why exactly is Ruth so against Walter's dream?

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?

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”. ]]> 2020-09-04 04:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katyblackmon/2309scxtqtvhwd5z/wish/720176534 katyblackmon https://padlet.com/katyblackmon/2309scxtqtvhwd5z/wish/721101186 What do you think mama will do with the 10,000 check she will be given?
