*Most people don't try hard enough to see the other fellow's problem.*

This picture represents a sad person who shows their dissapointment and depression through their obvious expression. When you see a happy person at school, you may think that they are always that happy so you shrug them off, but does anyone really see what that person is like out of school? Sometimes actions don't show it all. You have to dig deeper to see what the real person is like. They might be putting on a show to make themselves seem vibrant and joyful all of the time, but really there might be another side that you haven't seen in them.

When relating this picture to the play, the thing I think about the most is Walter and his dreams to desperately get rich by investing in a liqour store. Everyday his wife puts down his dreams, but does she really know what its like for him? And Beneatha treats her brother with a huge amount of disrespect throughout the play. She doesn't even know what Walter was going through. And in the last few pages of the play, when Walter gives away all of the money, there is a huge disappointment in himself, but no one in the house could have been feeling what he was. Mama understood the pain he was in, but she could not relate to his feelings at all. If you look into the person and understand their reactions more, you will see that it is not always what it seems.

*When someone insults you, its best to "turn the other cheek".*

This picture reminds me of a child being bullied by others. I'm sure it has happened to a lot of people when they were younger one time or another, but it's not just children that are insulted. Lots of adults face this every day and this just shows how cruel the world can be sometimes. Adults don't show the same reactions as children, because they are more mature in their actions. By telling someone to "turn the other cheek", you are telling them to forget what someone else has to say. You're better off ignoring it, or shrugging it off.

In the play, A Raisin In The Sun, when Mr. Lindner shows up at the Younger's house, there is a dramatic downturn. At first, the family doesn't understand why he is present, but then the reason becomes clear. He begins to slowly show them that they are not fit to live in an all-white neighborhood, and that they should accept money to stay where they live. It was a filthy bribe to Mama and Ruth, but Walter decides to accept this offer until his family talks sense into him. By Walter turning the other cheek and rejecting the money with pride, it shows that what he did was better for himself and his family. In the picture, by turning the other cheek, the insults and bullying won't stop you from succeeding and living a much better life.

*If you're going to be succesful, you have to take some big risks.*

When I think of taking big risks, this is the first thing that comes to my mind. A cliff diver has to be relying on faith itself when they take a plunge into the ocean. They will never know the exact outcome of their choices being made, until it's too late. This is a big risk, but there are people that accept this, because they know in the end that it will turn out the way that it's supposed to, good or bad. I admire people who are fearless in their actions because it shows that they have some type of reliance, and in this, I believe it makes them a better person. Sometimes you must take big risks to become succesful, and if you don't take risks, you'll never know the outcome.

When relating this picture and statement to the play, I think that there is some similar "cliff diving", if you will, with the families actions. Whenever Mama puts all of her faith and trust into Walter by handing all of the money they have to him, she also hands him her heart and soul in a sense. Trusting in someone isn't the easiest thing to do, but the possibilities of what happens if you do are endless. When Walter hands over the families money to Willy Harris, I think of him as jumping from the cliff, and when he fails and loses the money forever, that is him plunging into the ocean. This picture best describes to me the outcome of the families lives.
