Through Walter's Eyes

Why not! Why won't Mama give me the money to buy that store?  If we do invest it, we'll be able to buy a house ten times greater than the ones in Clybourne Park.  Ruth tells me she doesn't want God blaming her for all of the things customers might do drunk.  If she is giving me the money, how is the liquor store going to be on her ledger when she meets God?  Stupid old-fashioned mindsets.  Now with Ruth and the new baby, Mama is going to be even tighter about the money and will ignore the fact that the child won't be born for at least another 6 months.  Before then, I can get this family swimming in cash if she would allow me.  Beneatha will be able to go to medical school a thousand times if she wanted to, and I would let her; she needs to stop acting like if I have the money then she will never be able to go.  It's not like I don't want her to go, but I hate that she puts her education over the potential prosperity of the entire family.  I have Travis' education to worry about too, so it's not like I'm planning on throwing the money away!  I do not want to die telling my son "stories about how rich white people live..."(Hansberry 34).  Bobo and Willy are my only friends; isn't it truly shameful when a man's only friends are not even part of his family!

You didn't even look at it!
