Events contributing to rising action : When the check finally arrives, Mama decides to go off on her own and paid the 3,500$ down payment to a house in Clybourne park. This really upsets Walter because he thought that he would never be able to achieve his dreams anymore since the money got spent on a new house. Mama then decides to put the rest of the remaining money into Walter’s hands for him to spend on to whatever he would want (liquor store), but only after putting 3,000$ into a savings account for Beneatha to use

The predicament that Walter finds him-self in motivates him to want to invest in a liquor store in order to grasp some type of financial freedom. He doesn’t just want to have enough money to provide for his family, but he tells his mother, “I want so many things” (74). He is obsessed with earning a lot of money. At the beginning of the play Walter is waiting for Mama's check from the insurance company as if it was his own, and Beneathea has to remind Walter that, “that money belongs to Mama, Walter and if is for her to decide how she wants to spend it” (36). Here we see how he is searching for his identity with money. Much of Walter’s dialog is about making money or who has money. When his wife Ruth mentions that his friend Willy Harris is a good for nothing loud mouth, Walter retorts; “...And what do know about good for nothing loud mouth? Charlie Atkins was just a good-for-nothing loud mouth too, wasn’t he! He wanted me to go in the dry-cleaning business with him, and now he’s grossing a hundred thousand a year. A hundred thousand dollars a year! You still call him a loud mouth!” (32) The idea of making a hundred thousand dollars is what he had most on his mind, and to Walter the liquor store is how he will achieve that. The liquor store represents an

Because of this new depression, Walter starts to get himself wasted every day. He hasn’t been showing up to work, and faces the prospect of losing his job.

She gives him the remaining $6,500 to use as he wishes (except for the $3,000 to Beneatha’s continued

Point of view is the narrator’s position in the story being told. Point of view changes the story drastically, since you are hearing different stories and opinions by different characters in a story. Even if the plot is the same, the point of view will change the entire story. Point of view can also create tension between different characters. For example, if you are hearing the thoughts of one character in the story, and the actions of another character who is aware of these rude thoughts, the reader knows that the two characters tension between each other will eventually rise up to a certain point that a problem will occur. Point of view creates a lot of tension in the two books, Confetti Girl and Tortilla Sun, between the narrator and their parent. Both books

Resolution In the end, Walter figures that nothing he does with money can beat the pride and hard dedication that he has put into his family. He tells Linder to leave and the Younger’s move in to their new home. Mama comes back for her plant, which represented lost hope and growth within the family since the beginning. Now, she can officially claim that this is all she has ever wanted in life – for her living conditions to increase and for her family to be happy.

Walter comes up with another plan to take money from Linder, president of the Clyburn home association. Earlier, he offered the family money not to move in their neighborhood but Walter declined. However, after his devastating loss, he called up Linder to make a deal to get more money. Walter Younger’s defining moment was when Mama told him he was not a man and his father would not be pleased with his decision. This seemed to cause something to rise in him to change his perspective on

The Younger family has not been able to experience the finer things in life, and Walter, being the authoritative male figure, feels he is at fault knows that a change is needed. Walter’s solution is to use his father’s life insurance money to fund the acquiring of a liquor license. The women of the household are always ordering around Walter. It’s Ruth, Mama, or Beneatha telling him how to run things, and when he gets a chance to take the initiative by using the money to invest in his liquor license, his friend betrays him, and his dreams are crushed.

Money has always been an issue for mama and her family, but the day they received notice of a big check for them due to the death of mama’s husband, Walter’s perspective changed completely. He saw an opportunity to change his life and was determined to make it happen. However, because of this sudden opportunity to advance his life, in the play Walter begins to show more and more a concern about money and displays that he has no morality because of how his attitude began to change, as well as his actions and what his future goals were.

The book Leading From the Second Chair discusses what it is like to lead from the second chair. This was a semi-new concept for me. I have always heard of leadership and know that it is something special, however, I never thought of leading from the second chair. This phrase means being a leader but not the person in charge. This is something that is foreign to me. I have always though that a leader is in charge of their section and other leaders are in charge of their section and eventually they come together to put it all together. However, though going through the experience of my internship and going through this book and leadership class I have learned that this is not the case. When you lead from the second chair you are

In the play, the reader is often taught negative values. Walter chooses to invest the money to further his family but is given a negative outcome by the playwright.when Walter gets the news of the mo ey being stolen he says “willy!...willy…dont do it…please don't do it… Man, not with that money...oh god…dont do it...don't let it be true...man...i trusted you...man, I put my life in your hands”. Walter uses all the money mama gave to him on his plan for a liquor store and instead of being rewarded for his innovative idea and entrepreneurship he is robbed by one of his business partners. The playwright by doing this tells the audience that trying to think out of the box will never be rewarded and will lead to disaster. Beneatha wants a job as a doctor and follows her dreams but is often criticized by the family. As Walter and beneath are deep in an argument he says “I don't want nothing but for you to stop acting holy ‘round here. Me and Ruth done made some sacrifices for you-

The Younger family consists of five members, three of which are females in the household. Lena, Ruth, and Beneatha Younger are continually brushed off for being a greater hindrance to the family than they are a help, but the story proves this in an opposite manner. Lena Younger is the matriarch of the low-income family, and she soon expects to receive a 10,000 dollar insurance check after her husband’s passing. Each family member has an idea on how they wish to disperse this money, but ultimately it “ain’t none of [their] money, it’s Mama’s” (Hansberry 8). Nevertheless, Walter Lee -the protagonist and desired head of the family- takes it upon himself to allocate the money to a sound investment for the family’s future. Against his mother’s wishes, Walter shadily enters a business deal with two of his friends to become a part-owner of a liquor store. Mama’s misgivings are verified when the news is delivered that Willy Harris has up and left with the family’s investment in the store; all 10,000 dollars. Lena Younger had made the healthy choice that her family would move into a real house, and Walter put it all at risk for the off chance that he could make it big. Nevertheless, Lorraine Hansberry illustrates that Walter Lee is the head honcho of the family; seemingly ironic when he is the person responsible for making the situation so hard. Yet, lurking in the curtains, there is Mama, who is uncredited in assisting the family through this tortuous path they had to go down.

Suddenly, things changed, and Walter and his family came into quite a bit of money. Walter’s mama got a check for ten thousand dollars from her husbands life insurance after he passed away, which was a lot of money in that period of time. A nice house or a liquor store could easily be bought with half of the money from the check. Since the check was actually written out to mama, the money was all technically hers, so all that she wanted to do with it was buy her new house for her family, but stubborn Walter, he wanted his liquor store, and would stop at nothing to get it. When he finally realized that his mama was never going to give him the money to get the liquor store, he took it upon himself to get it himself. He eventually stole a portion of his mama’s money to get the store, but he was taken for a fool when the other person that he was making a deal with, stole all of his money. Now he had nothing, and mama had only some of her money.
