The quote explains he is Greedy because  Walter said " there ain't nothing but taking in this world and he who takes most is the smartest." because he is saying that he will take everything that is offered to him.

The quote  Mama: “Son, how come you talk so much ‘bout money?” Walter: “Because, it is life, Mama!” Mama: “Oh—so now its life. Money is life. Once upon a time freedom use to be life—now its money. I guess the world really do change…” Walter: “No—it was always money, Mama. We just didn’t know about it.” p. 74 "

Stubborn : The quote shows that he is stubborn because  in this Walter is asking what is  "Mama" going to do with the money. Walter wanted the money that Mama got when her husband died to invest the money in the liquor store. But at the end it shows that Walter's "best friend" told him that he would invest the store for him but ended up running with the money anyway. He also showed he was stubborn because

I think Walter is a good person and a bad person at the same time because the good side of his is caring for his wife and family but the bad side about him is that he is very stubborn , greedy, and he gets drunk a lot by drinking every night.]]> 2018-01-09 17:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jcurrie75/7zc7bql7fd2a/wish/219850031 Post 4 jcurrie75 https://padlet.com/jcurrie75/7zc7bql7fd2a/wish/219855141 What colors they used was green, white , and brown but in darker shades because it shows darkness and greed.

This represents the character by the money in the picture shown is stealing the bones just like how Walter is trying to take "mama's money".

The mood of the peace is darkness and greedy and this relates to my character Walter because in the book it shows Walter is greedy and trying to take his mother's money and how drunk Walter always get.

The love received was our concession
No worries, no fears, no troubles, no fuss.
In mother's arms we put our trust.

But as we grew, we looked and craved,
and all too soon became enslaved.
The more we saw, the more we wanted.
Our quest for more became undaunted.

Our thirst for more could not be quenched.
The more we grasped, the tighter we clenched.
We scampered and gathered and gathered to hoard.
Possessions became our master and lord.

And when we're old with our treasures all heaped,
a sad example of what greed has reaped.
Our fists still clenched in a grasping motion,
till at our death, when our hands are opened." by Irwin Mercer.


It relates to my character because in the poem it describes how greedy the person is just like how Walter got the greed over him.

And beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't really care
When we were young
Oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold
Ooh ooh, we bundled up
I can't be told
Ah ah it can't be done
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
So pay attention now

The quote  Mama: “Son, how come you talk so much ‘bout money?” Walter: “Because, it is life, Mama!” Mama: “Oh—so now its life. Money is life. Once upon a time freedom use to be life—now its money. I guess the world really do change…” Walter: “No—it was always money, Mama. We just didn’t know about it.” p. 74 " relates to the theme by how Walter is talking about money. He says that money is life. Mama says in the story that it use to be freedom now there's money involved. She also talks about how the world changes and involves around money.]]> 2018-01-09 17:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jcurrie75/7zc7bql7fd2a/wish/219865904
