He shows this trait when explaining his job saying, “Mama, a job? 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"(pg. 73)  In fewer words, he is explaining  that he'd risk all of the insurance money into the liquor license because he wants to make more money. He's also saying that the job he currently has isn't a real job. He believes that his job requires have a certain amount of respect.]]> 2019-01-16 05:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321088280 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321093086 Another character trait to describe Walter is determination. He showed this trait towards the beginning of the play when he describes his life. When Walter says,  “I have been married eleven years and I got a boy who sleeps in the livingroom -- and all I got to give him is stories about how rich white people live…” (pg 34) he shows determination even though it may not seem like it. One way he shows it is by saying how he only has stories about how rich white people live. He's provided for his family through all the years by driving around rich people and listening to them talk about what he doesn't have. He's also determined when he talks about how Travis has to sleep on the couch. The tone when he's saying this proves that he is determined to make more money so his family can live better.]]> 2019-01-16 06:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321093086 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321183101 I personally do sympathize Walter just a little bit. Throughout the play, his main goal was to start a liquor business so that he can make more money for his family. I sympathize for Walter because he struggled to make good money for his family even though he was trying hard to. However, he became foolish with the money he was given and decided to try and illegally obtain his liquor license early. I did not sympathize for him at all once he lost the money because he made a impulsive decision instead of legally getting a liquor license.]]> 2019-01-16 12:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321183101 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321185688 This picture represents the greed of Walter in the play A Raisin in the Sun. Walter became all too greedy when it came to start a liquor business and he payed for it dearly. When Mama gave Walter the responsibility for the insurance money, she told him to put some away for Beneatha's schooling. Instead of doing as Mama asked, he used every last bit of the money for his liquor license. He payed greatly for his greediness after the person he gave the money to ran away instead of getting the license.]]> 2019-01-16 12:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321185688 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321201966 Complete, four wings stretched for you as an obstacle, big and ominous, they block the light of the sun as it crosses your way,
He will promise you that over walls you will go if you obey him,
Paying from the rule and standing proud with spiteful intent,
Or maybe he will make you believe to be able to shoot over the sky,
What a precious act of misleading lies, leading to greater falsities,
The cards of fate are already dealt, do not sell your soul, do not lose,...
-Umi

This poem heavily relates to when Walter gives his money to Willy to get his liquor license. The act of Walter giving the money to Willy is the "sell you sole"(7) aspect of the play. Willy made Walter believe he was "able to shoot over the sky"(5) and get his liquor license early. From the beginning of the play Walter believed Willy's "misleading lies", which led to "greater falsities" (6).]]> 2019-01-16 13:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321201966 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321276958 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiUNTdFX8G8&ibss=1
Love The Way You Lie -Eminem

Where you going, I'm leaving you
No you ain't, come back
We're running right back, here we go again
It's so insane 'cause when it's going good, it's going great

It's the rage that's the culprit, it controls you both
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall]]> 2019-01-16 15:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321276958 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321292707 The first few lines represents Walter's feelings when Willy runs off with his money. Right after he found out the money was gone, he was in denial and making up excuses like, "Maybe - maybe - he just got sick. He's somewhere - he's got to be somewhere." This relates to the first two lines of the song where he doesn't want his lover to leave even though she already has. The second set of lines relates to ARITS because of the anger problems that Walter has. Walter is mad throughout most of the book and puts down other people because of it.]]> 2019-01-16 16:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321292707 eshawver82 https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321329430 The themes in both A Raisin In The Sun and Fences closely relate to one another. The theme in A Raisin In The Sun has to do with making impulsive decisions without consulting others or thinking of the consequences. This also occurs in Fences when Troy denies Cory from playing football. Even though Troy may of thought he was helping out Cory out by not letting him go down the athletic path, he didn't let Cory choose how he wanted to live his life. He also wasn't thinking of consequences when he slept with another woman and got her pregnant. He wasn't thinking of how Rose would react and how it would affect their marriage.

The theme of Fences  has to do with the fence being a very important symbol. The fence does represent keeping people in, however it also represents pushing people away and keeping them out. This relates to A Raisin In The Sun when Ruth decided not to tell Walter about the Baby. By choosing to do this she created a serious problem in their marriage because Walter didn't even think she was capable of keeping something like that from him. She pushed him away and kept him out just like the fence did in Fences.]]> 2019-01-16 16:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eshawver82/mze8ge4nor8u/wish/321329430
