You should hold onto your dreams; if you work hard enough for them, then they might come true

I found this picture on google images. In the story, Ruth wants a new house with rooms and light. Beneatha wants to be a docter. Walter wants to be a big business man. Mama wants her very own garden. Through hard work and perserverince, the family more or less acheives thier dreams. Mama use alot of her money to buy a house that they can all live in. Ruth gets more space and more light. Beneatha is going to go to Africa to marry Asagai and be a docter there. Mama gets room for her own garden, her family is also happy. Walter doesn't become a big business man but he does prove himself as a man. This alone might give him a better chance of achieving his dream.

When someone insults you, its best to just turn the other cheek?

I got this picture from google images. If we can't all just "get along" then should I just turn the other cheek. I say no. It really depends on the situation. If it is something serious and can't be ignored, then no, I would fight back. if it was a small matter that isn't even worth my time then, yes I might turn the other cheek. For example, if someone insults my mother then I will send them to the nurses office. If someone makes fun of my hair or something like that then I won't even bother with them. Like I said, I agree and disagree with this statement in defferent circumstances. In the story, Walter doesn't want to just turn the other cheek. He wants to be doing the slapping. The only time he finally gets his way is when he tells Mr. Linder that they don't want his money. That, in a sense, was a gentle slap.

If you want to be successful, then you have to take some big risks

This picture was saved from google images. The rolling of the dice symbolizes the idea that if you want to be successful then you've got to take some big risks. This can be true. You may make a gamble, and with any luck, you may just win big time. Then again you may lose big time, just like Walter did. He intrusted his money to Willy and, metaphorically speaking, he loses the gamble. This shows just how much you can lose if you gamble.
