My shiny wall by Riana Estrellado https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5 Made with a warm hug en-us 2018-09-17 15:45:02 UTC 2019-01-15 23:59:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Post 1-Character Trait- Walter restrellado48 https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320841965 Stubborn

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)

This quote shows that Walter is stubborn because he is so persistent about money. Money has made him stubborn and not listen to others. His whole life is revolves by money. Before in Mama's time they valued freedom, but nowadays it has turned into money. Money has great power to change a person and that's what happened to Walter. ]]> 2019-01-15 16:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320841965 Post 2-Character Trait-Walter restrellado48 https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320850808 Determination 
 
“Forget it baby! There ain’t no causes—there ain’t nothing but taking in this world, and he who takes most is smartest—and it don’t make a damn bit of difference how.” P. 143 

This quote shows that Walter is determined because he really wants to open a store, quit his job, and be his own boss. He is determined to take the most out of the business. Walter believes those that take the most is the smartest. He ends up having lots of fights with his family due to his goal of opening a store. His determination becomes too much for Mama.

I feel like Walter has good intentions with his goal, but approaches it the wrong way. I believe that Walter is not a good guy because he went against what everyone said. He promised Mama that he will split the money for Beneatha and Travis, but ended up going behind Mama's back and used all the money towards opening the business. He was very demanding towards Mama and his wife about the money, and caused many conflicts. ]]> 2019-01-15 16:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320865211 Part 4-Art restrellado48 https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320869879 This art shows a guy going through snowstorm to get to his destination. Despite the condition of the weather he still goes on with his journey to wherever it is. This piece of art explains Walter because he will do everything he can to make his dream come true of opening the liquor store. Just like the guy in the painting Walter is determined to accomplish his goal no matter what it takes. ]]> 2019-01-15 17:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/320869879 Post 5- poem restrellado48 https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/321032711 Stubborn little prince 
With his pride so high
I'm really not okay
With the fact that you lied (1st stanza)

Failing to see what's happening
Ignoring all warnings
He'll fall down very soon
He won't see the next morning

This poem relates to Walter because how the little prince is throughout. In the first stanza it related to Walter by him always having his pride in the way of things. In the second part of the poem it talks about how the little prince ended up loosing everything. That relates to Walter because his family kept telling him about the consequences of using all the money towards opening the store. Walter ended up being scammed and lost all the money and like the little prince he ended up loosing everything.

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

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

In the second part of the lyrics lines 12-15 relate to Walter by even though he's taking a risk he's willing to take it even it means losing everything. He did not think that he would lose everything. The Climb goes well with Walter because he faces a lot of conflicts and dilemmas, but it won't stop him from making his dream come true.]]> 2019-01-15 22:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/321033097 Post 8- Theme/Connection restrellado48 https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/321033221 The theme in A Raisin in the Sun is it is human nature for family to go through struggles. The Younger family go through so much from dealing with the check to dealing with having unwanted neighbors. In Fences the theme would be it is human nature to want to protect the ones you love. In the move Fences Troy builds a fence with the fence Troy and Rose hope to keep the world out from their little world.  Both A Raisin in the Sun and Fences have many things in common. 
The themes connect by having to deal with family. In both stories they deal with conflicts about family. Both families are not very wealthy, but they do have dreams of their own. Walter dreams to be a business man while Troy dreamed to be a professional baseball player, and Beneatha dreamed to be a doctor while Cory dreamed to be a professional football player. The themes connect by both families always aruge with one another. For example the Younger's always argue about how Walter wants to open a business, and the Maxon's argue about how Cory wants to be a professional football player. Another example is the Younger's are having a hard time dealing with how to distribute the money from the check and the Maxson's have a problem with the way the live and their son. Both families just want to be happy, but they both will end up going through many obstacles. ]]> 2019-01-15 22:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/restrellado48/9z9xzc1yzjc5/wish/321033221
