I agree Justin. That is a great point you make. I thought about your question and I think they would end up in an even worse situation, because with money comes greed and then evil.

I agree with you Katheryn, now in your own opinion, how do you think things will be in the future for the family?

Good point Ny'la. Would you say just money? I ask because I would have to say money in conjunction with greed.

I agree with Ny'la because if they had a better financial status then they wouldn't really have nothing to argue about.

I also agree with Justin on that Ruth has a more tired character because of Benetha and Walter. They both are irresponsible and selfish and dont think about the good of the family. Walter thinks more about money and becoming the man of the house but does not act responsible enough to manage it. It seems like Ruth gets streesed about the actions Walter and Benetha take.

In what ways is Ruth handling the problems since she's the one thats the head iof the household? Though i still agree with you.

She acts as the mother of Walter and Benetha and deals with Walters attitude while acting as the wife by cleaning, cooking, and taking care of travis.
