Walter needs Ruth to back him up with the liquor store idea. Instead Ruth doesn't back him up she just down plays it like it isn't serious. Walter probably feels she should take it into more consideration and actually help him and his friends to start this business and they would not have to live in poverty anymore. Ruth just usually tells Walter the reality of most things and it's not what he wants to hear so he feels abandoned by her.

I open and close car doors all day long. I drive a man around in his limousine and I say, ‘Yes, sir; no, sir; very good, sir; shall I take the Drive, sir?’ Mama, that ain’t no kind of job… that ain’t nothing at all.” P. 73 Walter is very overwhelmed really with life and not having money. He is tired of asking people for money all the time. Walter doesn't like the fact that he can't provide for his family and it's all because he does not have money. He feels there nothing he can really do about it because no one believes in his dreams except for him.]]> 2019-01-09 18:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/318946686 Post 3 jdanford94 https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/319746981 My personal opinion on Walter is that he is a very straight forward man. I feel where Walter coming with about the money but I don't think the liquor store. Walter sometimes can be too blatant with his family and he comes off as disrespectful too much instead of trying to compromise with them and help the situation. I think Walter is a good person but has to sit back and think about the things that mean more in life.]]> 2019-01-11 16:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/319746981 Post 4 jdanford94 https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/319759979 This painting relates to Walter because he yells a lot and gets angry when he is not heard about something. This also relates because Walter struggles a lot and is tired of it because he feels like there is nothing he can do about it. He feels less of a man because he can not provide for his family the right way. Walter is just tired of living life this way and he takes his anger out by yelling at other people for sometimes no reason.]]> 2019-01-11 16:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/319759979 Post 5 jdanford94 https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/320915947 This poem relates to Walter because Walter seen money as everything. Walter did not really care about beneatha going to school because he was too caught up on what he wanted, this relates to(Line 3)Walter and his family wanted to do so much with the insurance check taking it for granted instead of realizing that represents someones life and mama was the only one to know that , that is why she felt some type of way, this relates to ( Line 6) Walter did not have his priorities straight because he was so caught up about not having money that he affected his family by the way he was acting, this relates to (Line 7)]]> 2019-01-15 18:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/320915947 Post 6 jdanford94 https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/320921996 Every man has a right to live
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by your will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man, no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom and then later fade away

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man, no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man

Walter knows what he wants to do with his life but does not realize his ideas are not going to work. He just starts to realize the importance of family instead of so caught up with money. Walter needs to get his life together and not worry about so many things that are not important so he does not have to look and feel like he always struggling.]]> 2019-01-15 18:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/320922283 Post 8 jdanford94 https://padlet.com/jdanford94/c5hpaf03ickg/wish/320925166 A theme for A Raisin in the Sun is that "poverty can create rifts in a family". 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 relates to the theme because mama did not realize how much of a problem money became for Walter. Walter valued money higher than family and freedom and for that money was the cause for a lot of the things going on with Walter. Beneatha would be able to go to school, Walter would be able to get his liquor store, and Mama would be able to get the house.
