Along with her ideas, she wants to live in a area of joy, and happiness. Somewhere enjoyable to live in, instead of a cockroach infested house. "to these goddamned cracking walls!-And these marching roaches!-And this cramped little closet which ain't now or never was no kitchen!" (pg. 93) She clearly expresses how much she hates this house, and how happy she is when given with the news of moving to a new house. moorelilliana22 https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699044 2018-04-17 17:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699044 Why does Ruth want this the most? Ruth wants to live in a place that will support her whole family as best as it can, instead of a little cramped area of their past house. " PRAISE GOD!" (pg. 91) She is taken aback by this sudden news, and ecstatic of moving to somewhere new. moorelilliana22 https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699512 2018-04-17 17:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699512 What limits Ruth from achieving her dreams? There is a major problem with moving to the house, which is the fact that it is in a white-only neighborhood. "Clybourne Park? Mama, there ain't no colored people living in Clybourne Park."

Her ideas are of living in a area that isn't the despair-filled house they were originally stuck with. "GOOD-BYE MISERY...I DON'T NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE AGAIN!" (pg. 94) She has the ideas of living in a completely new place, starting anew, and getting a fresh start at living again. moorelilliana22 https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699890 2018-04-17 17:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/moorelilliana22/woy71ejgi5ja/wish/252699890 What are Ruth's thoughts?
