I'm so tired of being worried all the time. Worried about what I'm going to do about the new baby, worried about how we are going to earn money, and worried about Walter's state of mind. Walter is changing, becoming more depressed and is drinking himself into oblivion. I know that Walter needs help and support right now but "he needs something- something I can't give him anymore". Lord knows that I want to keep this new baby but how can we afford to keep it? I fully support Beneatha's chocie of becoming a doctor but I don't know if that is enough to make it come true. Mama, bless her heart, doesn't understand her children anymore. She "got good children" and she is a good mama that "keep'em in hand". Oh! It hurts me to see them fight and hurt each other so often. They know that they love each other though, or I sure hope they do. Walter might not understand but, Mama loves him with all her heart. Travis is my baby and I love him so much but sometimes a mama has to do what she has to do. It hurts me but I have to teach him how to be grow up and be a good man. I know Lena means well but sometimes she needs to leave Travis' discipline to me. I sure hope that everything gets better or at least doesn't get any worse.

ANNA! Nice use of diction in you're post! I liked how you were able to incorporate several quotes into your sentences with lots of flow! Keep up the good work as always!
ReplyDeleteNate, I must grammar-Nazi you: I believe you meant "your post," not "you are post."
DeleteAnna, uncanny imitation of a character's literary voice - I can hear her speaking the words as I read them.:)
