Bossy
Quote
"Get out of my house man." pg119

"Have a seat. Im Mrs. Younger's son. I look after most of her business matters .pg114
Explanation
I would say Walter is described as bossy, the man of the house because he tends to take leadership and acts in control most of the time. When he told the man he looks after Mama's business matters, that was not true and he just was being nosy kind of. Walter likes to know whats going on  and when the man started saying things to upset them and things they didn't want to hear he kicked him out of their house.

Personal Options on Walter mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425422193 I think my opinion on Walter changed, in the beginning of the book he was more rude and didn't really care or seem to make any efforts. Towards the end he realized he wanted to be the man of the house and do whats best. He was trying to be better for Travis his son by asking what his dreams are and telling him hes going to be successful. Walter also surprised a lot of people for sticking up for whats right for his family instead of taking the money.]]> 2019-12-18 13:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425422193 4. Art mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425425570 This art can describe Walter because butterfly transform into pretty creatures as they grow from ugly caterpillars. Walter transformed from being rude and stubborn into a matured man who cares about his family.He really didnt care at first but as the story came to an end he bossed up.]]> 2019-12-18 13:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425425570 5. Poem mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425872266 This poem I would choose would be for Travis, Walters son and i feel like its something he would share with his son. I feel like he would share it with him because hes doing things better for him and trying to be an example for him to look up to.Trying to be a role model and asking about his dreams and showing concern. Making promises and improving his work ethic so that Travis can kind of look up to him.]]> 2019-12-19 13:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425872266 6. Song mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425874902 Well you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
I believe every lie that I ever told
Paid for every heart that I ever stole
I played my cards and I didn't fold
Well it ain't that hard when you got soul (this is my world)
Somewhere I heard that life is a test
I been through the worst but I still give my best
God made my mold different from the rest
Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed (this is my world)

Explanation to song mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425878740 I chose the song "I'm The Man" by Aloe Black because I feel like Walter looks up to this saying kind of. Walter is trying to improve himself and be the man of the house. Walter is trying to better himself so people can look up to him in his house and be the man of the house and someone they trust. In the song when Aloe Black says "I been through the worst but i still give my best" I think that part relates to Walter a lot also. I think so because he made a lot of bad mistakes and decisions and learned and fixed them.]]> 2019-12-19 13:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425878740 8. Theme mgigliotti76 https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425882422 I think the theme of "Raisen In The Sun" is Dream/Reality. I think thats the theme because its like what you expect to happen but what really does. Shows how one little thing can ruin or mess something up. In the book when Walter says "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!" Thats just an example of Travis and Walter talking about his dreams and then the next day things changed. He was all happy about his business hes going to start and then it was ruined the next day when he found out the money was taken. Not everything that you think is going to happen happens and thats just the reality of it.]]> 2019-12-19 14:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mgigliotti76/y1xf5ea6akvx/wish/425882422
