Money is life. Once upon a time freedom used to be life—now it’s money. I guess the world really does change . . .Walter: No—it was always money, Mama. We just didn’t know about it.” (pg.76) ckroeker3 https://padlet.com/ckroeker3/b61b91s3wewp6t5k/wish/1233806335 This shows that Walter is all about money. Throughout the story, he was eager to earn money from the insurance money, contemplating on whether to sell the new house or keep it.

She has beaten Walter and slapped Beneatha, said harsh things to Ruth but never acted that way towards Travis. This might be because he is still little and she wants him to have a good childhood regardless of what was happening in their lives.

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me.

Song: Fight Song

Artist: Rachel Platten

These lyrics relate to the book because it is talking about fighting back and getting equal. This song shows that if you believe in yourself and don't think what others think you can do whatever you want.For example, the youngers do not need to listen to Mr. Linder or whoever lives in their new community because they are strong and powerful.

That was the most marvelous thing in the world…I wanted to do that. I always thought it was the one concrete thing in the world that a human being could do. Fix up the sick, you know – and make them whole again. This was truly being God…I wanted to cure. It used to be so important to me.”(pg.132) ckroeker3 https://padlet.com/ckroeker3/b61b91s3wewp6t5k/wish/1241578958 This shows that Beneatha really wants to be a doctor and to help people. She is a good person at heart and she felt like her dream was crushed when she lost potential money.

At first, Walter was selfish and greedy towards his family. He wanted the insurance money badly so he could use it for HIS dream and his dream only. He did not get his way and conflicts occurred which resulted in him changing.]]> 2021-02-25 15:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ckroeker3/b61b91s3wewp6t5k/wish/1241582813 Discrimination ckroeker3 https://padlet.com/ckroeker3/b61b91s3wewp6t5k/wish/1241588308 This relates to the story because one of the characters Mr. Linder wanted to purchase the Younger’s house just so they would not have a black family in their community.
