This was shown when Mama talks to Walter about Ruth's pregnancy : “I think Ruth is thinking ‘bout getting rid of that child. … When the world gets ugly enough—a woman will do anything for her family.” P. 75 Ruth got pregnant again while the Younger family are not doing that will, so she believes that they can't have this baby.

This shows in this quote, “Walter—What you ain’t never understood is that I ain’t got nothing, don’t own nothing, ain’t never really wanted nothing that wasn’t for you. There ain’t nothing as precious to me…There ain’t nothing worth holding on to, money, dreams, nothing else—if it means—if it means it’s going to destroy my boy.” P. 106 Walter begin drink, wonder around the town and not working just like a homeless man. Mama can't let this happen to her son so she trust Walter with the money and his liquor store.

These disappointment comes from Walter's action. One example is he put his mind on the liquor store instead of family.  One of Walter's dream is too big amount of money and how is he going to do this is to open a liquor store which the Younger family all disagrees with him, Walter believes that on one is the house is with him so he started to act "unfriendly" to Ruth because she is not with him too.]]> 2019-12-17 13:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/424960625 Post Four wchen07 https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/425457722 This art is related to Mama, of the up and down side of her. Nothing in the world is more important then her family and their proud of being black. After she saw Walter's reaction after losing $6500 she was horrified, she saw her son was about to give up the his proud of being black, the proud that their family hold for generations. Walter called Lindner that he was to sell the house and accept that they black people don't have the privilege to live in the neighborhood, this is the down side. After Lindner came, Walter change, his speech was totally difference from what he did in front of Mama, and this made Mam realize that her son is a man, he still got the proud in him.]]> 2019-12-18 14:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/425457722 Post Five - Poem wchen07 https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/426214322 What is a Mother?
by Anonymous

A mother is someone who loves you
Who cares for you in every way
She sits down and listens
to what you have to say

She always thinks your beautiful
Never puts you down
She always has a smile
To wipe away your frown

A mother is someone who believes in you

Always pushes you to go far
Tells you to believe in yourself
No matter who you are

A mother is like an angel
Although without the wings
She tells you to enjoy
Life's most smallest things

I really love my mother
She means so much to me
Mommy I really love you
And that's how it always will be.

She is a mother loves her children equally, she would listen to you no matter how what kind of a person you are like. In the poem it says, "A mother is someone who believes in you." Mama always believes in her children and that's why she trust Walter to put $3000 into the bank for beneatha's medical school and $3500 for Walter's liquor store but Walter used all $6500 for himself and in the end he lost all of the money. Mama still love her son no matter what he did and what kind of person he is like.]]> 2019-12-20 12:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/426214927 Post Six - Song (Not on youtube) wchen07 https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/426385408 Mama Tried
Merle Haggard
The first thing I remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young un's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where I'm bound
And no one could change my mind but Mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family, meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin'
Towards the bad, I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
Left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

This line of the song shows how Walter feels after the lost of the money he used for his dream, he noticed many times that his Mama tries to stop him but he didn't listen and now all he can feel is sorry for Mama and his family. After all he has done, Mama still loves him even if nobody does anymore.]]> 2019-12-21 01:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/426385662 Post Eight wchen07 https://padlet.com/wchen07/ip39cyctlzwz/wish/426388987 Theme - Dreams vs. Reality
Quote - “What you need me to say you done right for? You the head of this family. You run our lives like you want to. It was your money and you did what you wanted with it.
