What event caused tesion between walter and ruth act 1 scene 1

English
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Can we take a moment to bask in the joy of how well-written A Raisin in the Sun is... Ok, moment over!

From act 1 scene 1, it's very clear that this family has issues simmering beneath the surface. The question shouldn't be what caused tension, it should be what <em>doesn't </em>cause tension, because Walter and Ruth argue about a large number of things. It's not a happy marriage, it seems.

When Ruth accuses Walter of keeping their son up by talking late at night, he complains, "That's what you mad about, ain’t it? The things I  want to talk about with my friends just couldn’t be  important in your mind, could they?"

The main issue between them, though, is money. It's underlying everything they argue about - Walter's association with Willy, Travis' ask for the 50 cents, Walter's late-night discussions with his "friends."

What is the difference between Atticus’ and Aunt Alexandra’s definitions of people who are “trash”?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Atticus believes "trash' people are those without moral and goodness of the heart whereas Aunt Alexandria defines them as poor people who have no social status.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird is a story of the South where there are still some prejudices against black people. The Southern mentality against these people through the eyes of a young girl Scout shows us the life of a Southern state.

Atticus is the father of Jem and Scout who resides in Maycomb, Alabama. He is a lawyer and a very sensible and reasonable man. His decision to defend a black man from being wrongfully convicted shows his own mentality against such people. He shows that every man is an individual and has their own rights, and tries to teach his children the right way of life, as much as he can. Aunt Alexandria, on the other hand, hates black people and still maintains the same mentality of the majority of the people.

The two individuals have a different opinion of people who are "tr<em>a</em>sh". For Atticus, "<em>trash</em>" people are those people who have the wrong or bad personality and have no morals, like the people of Maycomb who think that a black man is bad just because of his skin color. Aunt Alexandria's definition of "<em>trash</em>" people is anyone who is poor and hardly has much social status. For her, social status and appearance matter a lot and don’t really believe in the possibility of goodness and poverty together in a person.
