He doesnt like the living situation of him and his family and wants better for them.  This can be shown in the quote, • “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…” p. 34  As you can tell Walter is bitter about his apartment, but he cares and wants more for his family.

This is shown here, • Walter to Travis: “Just tell me where you want to go to school and you’ll go. Just tell me, what it is you want to be—and you’ll be it…Whatever you want to be—Yessir! You just name it, son… and I hand you the world!” p. 108
Walter said this after he got the check from Mama, he was already dreaming big about what he could do for travis in life.

I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, yeah
A different city every night
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire

Travie McCoy
Yeah, I would have a show like Oprah, I would be the host of
Everyday Christmas, give Travie a wish list
I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had sh**

Give away a few Mercedes like, "Here lady, have this."
And last, but not, least grant somebody their last wish
It's been a couple months that I've been single, so
You can call me Travie Claus, minus the ho ho

Get it, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah, can't forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music

Bruno Mars
Oh, every time I close my eyes
What you see? What you see, bro?
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh, and what else?
A different city every night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For what?
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
For when I'm a billionaire
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/bruno-mars/-/billionaire-promo-only-clean-edit-pop-radio-edit.html]
Oh oooh oh oooh

Travie McCoy
I'll be playing basketball with the President, dunkin' on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys, tens and Bens completely separate

And yeah, I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession, but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks

And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good, sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet, put it in the air and sing

Bruno Mars
I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
So bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Buy everything
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
What up, Oprah! Ha ha!

Oh, every time I close my eyes
What you see? What you see, bro?
I see my name in shining lights, oh yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh, and what else?
A different city every night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I, I swear the world better prepare
For what?
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh
For when I'm a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh

For example when Benetha wants to become a doctor, and when Walter wants to invest in a liquor store. Thats what they dream to do, but in reality, they dont have the funds or the oppurtunity to do so. The younger family being African American makes it harder for them to get oppurtunities. ]]> 2020-01-07 13:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356219 jmartinez94 https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356267 The lyrics in this song relate to Walter a lot. Walter desires money more than anything in the world. Walter wants to spoil his famiy in riches just like Bruno does.]]> 2020-01-07 13:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356267 jmartinez94 https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356383 This poem is perfect for Walter. Walter knows the value and importance of money. Yet, he doesnt get that money will not buy your happiness, your family and the people that you care for make you happy. Walter rich or poor will be happy with his family.]]> 2020-01-07 13:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356383 jmartinez94 https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356417 I think this art projects Walters character very well. He is always angry or bothered when he doesnt get his way. Its almost like hes two differnet people. On one hand there is the loving and caring Walter that adores his family. On the other hand, there is the money fiending Walter. ]]> 2020-01-07 13:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356417 jmartinez94 https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356447 Personally, I do believe that deep down Walter is a good man and only wants the best for him and his family. Some times the way he shows that may seem mean or he may seem rude but he is only like that beacause he cares about his family.]]> 2020-01-07 13:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jmartinez94/pyj6lrr9rv77/wish/428356447
