They stood up for themselves and moved into the house they wanted. They didn't back down for a little bit of money. I think there is hope for the Younger family with do well in their neighbor hood. They might get some pushback but they are good people who will be good neighbors and hopefully good friends to the people around them.]]> 2021-03-26 15:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357786502 I think that the ending is pretty happy, they moved into a new house. There is some hope for the Youngers, but it isn't likely that they won't face any problems with the people living there. mireku_p https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357786564 2021-03-26 15:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357786564 Max Wier https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357786894 Walter goes through some development during the play, he's less focused on his own needs. At first I didn't like him because of him putting his own ambitions before the needs of others. However, he grew out of that and I like him more now.]]> 2021-03-26 15:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357786894 BlueWaterBender https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787053 I think the character I relate to the most is Beneatha because she wants to be a doctor and so do I.

He knows that people will not want them in the community and I think he himself doesn't want them there. He expects people do be against it and he wants to prevent it. He's just giving into the systemic racism. gomezar1 https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787117 2021-03-26 15:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787117 chambersb2 https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787614 To Ruth the new house means a better life for her family. Travis would have a room to sleep in not sleeping on the couch anymore. It also means that Ruth will not have to get rid of her baby because they will have enough space to have a new person in the house. It also means that her relationship with Walter might get better because they will not be in a tiny cramped space.]]> 2021-03-26 15:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787614 I think that he does believe what hes doing is right. Although his opinion is extremely racist, it is his opinion and it wouldn't be his opinion if he didn't believe it. No one is a villain in their own story. - Drew https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787651 2021-03-26 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787651 eleanor s https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787682 In the beginning, Walter was focused on getting his liquor store after he got the $10,000 dollars from Mama. In the end, after the money was gone, he focuses on his family. He accepts that the new house it happening, and he is happy that it is. I personally never really liked Walter, and I still don't at the end of the book. ]]> 2021-03-26 15:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357787682 I think he does believe he is doing the right thing because at the end his kind of like warning them at the end when he "I hope you know what your getting into". So, I think he felt like he was protecting them because of what he said. dinh_je https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357788284 2021-03-26 15:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357788284 Walter goes from being reckless and selfish with the money, to deciding to stay in the neighborhood when they could take the money and leave. aguilar_al https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357788573 2021-03-26 15:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357788573 pham_me https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357788588 Walter turns from an irritable man with dead set values to someone who had a change of heart.

As the play went on though, Walter definitely changed and became more confident in himself and that's shown towards the end, where he stands with his family and choosed to move into their new home, regardless of what one of the people in their new neighborhood said they should do. What he did at the end really changed my view on him because it showed that although he was broken down, he still got right back up and stood with his family like he should as a father and husband.

The second time even when they announced that they would be moving in, he seemed to be a little angry.  ]]> 2021-03-26 15:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357789842 Matias rizkallam https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357790844 I think that there definitely is hope for them. They may face a bit of resistance at first, but this takes place in the 1950s which is when the Civil Rights Movement starts. They are doing things rarely done before and I think with all the positive changes for African Americans happening around this time, they'll be alright.]]> 2021-03-26 15:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357790844 Sophie Meyer https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357790875 To Mama the new house signifies what she's been wanting for a long tine and finally has.

I don't think he fully believes what he's doing is the right thing, but I think it's more out of fear.

While he does make a few comments showing that he thinks it's right, there was one comment that made me think otherwise. He said "While if you're final about it, there is nothing more for me to say."

While at the of my play Walter starts to care more about family instead of his liquor story and starts to be supportive of his sister's dream of being a doctor. So, my feelings have changed about him because I use to think of him as a bully and just doesn't care about his family, but now I think of him as a better person. dinh_je https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357799187 2021-03-26 15:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357799187 aguilar_al https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357801071 The ending was a happy one and I think there is hope that they'll prosper in their new neighborhood. ]]> 2021-03-26 15:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357801071 In the beginning Walter was more focused on making a name for himself and being economically stable, it was mostly just selfish wants which made him an unlikable person but at the very end he seems to have realized that past generation have helped get to where he is now. He realizes that the house was a tribute to his father because it was bought with his fathers money. gomezar1 https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357801088 2021-03-26 15:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357801088 I think that not only was the ending happy, but the determination that the family showed at the end gave a lot of hope for them to do well in the new neighborhood. - Drew https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357802158 2021-03-26 15:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357802158 Sophie Meyer https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357804228 I think that he is so caught up in his own prejudices that he thinks he's protecting the neighborhood and doing it a favor.

He's know this segregation his whole life and he's just trying to maintain it which is human nature, and he's not being that mean about it.

This doesn't at all mean that his behavior is ok, it just means that not liking African Americans was how he grew up. He spent his whole life learning that African Americans were less than him and to not be around them. ]]> 2021-03-26 15:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357807061 chambersb2 https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357808244 I relate the most to Mama.

Although they were told by Mr. Lindner that they shouldn't move there, they chose to anyway and I think the family will have their ups and downs in their new neighborhood. Ups being more space, new friends, and even help from friendly neighbors. Downs would probably be racism, harassment, and vandalising of their property by the people of their new neighborhood.(Lennox)]]> 2021-03-26 15:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357810996 Zoe DeWeerd https://padlet.com/ledermanna/5v3wbr8wfmz34rll/wish/1357811794 I think I relate to Ruth the most because she seems to not really have any big dreams for life, she just takes her days in stride.
