"In fact, here's another fifty cents . . . Buy yourself some fruit today - or take a taxicab to school or something!"

He gives Travis money because he does not want him to feel like he cannot afford things he wants. Walter does not want him to feel like he is poor or inferior to the other students. Travis understands this and it excited that he gets the money, he also knows that he will not always get money. Travis understands the money predicament that they are in with money for he tells his mother that the "check coming tomorrow," (16).]]> 2016-12-02 16:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141423858 365334 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141423886 Walter do not understand each other. Walter wants to be able to get more money, but just wants him to "eat [your] eggs and go to work," so they fight a lot because of their differing views.]]> 2016-12-02 16:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141423886 365155 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141423935 Travis and Ruth have a typical mother/son relationship. They love each other but Ruth can't always get Travis what he wants because of money constraints. "'Aw-gaaaaalleee Mama' (she pushes him with rough playness)" (pg 30)]]> 2016-12-02 16:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141423935 457387 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141424023 The two argue a lot about money and jobs. Walter spoils Travis by giving him money, even when Ruth tells them that they have no money. But Travis wants the money because he needs it for school and does not want to feel left out. But Travis understands but is sad until his dad gives him some.

Do you think their way of resolving their argument is effective?

"[Travis]  turns in outrage to leave. His mother watches him as in his frustration  he approaches the door almost comically." (29)

"[Ruth] holds her arms to him and we see that it is a way between them, very old and practiced." (30)]]> 2016-12-02 16:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141424091 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141424518 Do you think they are going to get divorced]]> 2016-12-02 16:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141424518 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141425179 2016-12-02 16:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/141425179 https://padlet.com/jonathan_a_bram/4relationships/wish/142057937 Mama and Ruth have a strong bond due to the ten-thousand dollars that they don't know how to spend.

Ruth wants to support Walter and his finances but she doesn't always. Mama disagrees with Walter but hears out Ruth. Ruth and Mama have a good relationship because they can talk levelly to each other. Mama worries about the family and that annoys Ruth because she is protective of what they have.

Do you think she should feel bad?
