All in all he shall be missed by all of us and we will remember him as the brainless stereotypical blue-collar who was apparently eaten by a clam. Here’s a quote I thought of that perfectly fits Peter, “Some people love them, most people hate them, everyone groans when they hear them.” The funeral was held at 3:50 pm for about two hours, too long. Here’s an advice to the people “When entering a funeral home, remember to stay alert and always look
Eventually they all are removed or asked to leave. Whenever Vern Templeton was at a bar, he was undoubtedly the drunkest person at that bar. And if he got there late, it never took him long to catch and pass the leader of the drunken mass. By these means he usually alienated himself from the crowd with odd chortles and tasteless searing jokes pointed at unpresuming bystanders. Once while playing a dive bar in Roanoke, Virginia, Vern Templeton offended an entire table of 5 in a brief exchange.
I just let it go because maybe he was having a bad day but as I started to order it seemed like the cashier was trying to overcharge me. I ordered two of the 5 dollar pizzas but the cashier kept charging me for extra things and when I told him about it he got angry and started yelling at me. I was being as calm as possible to tell him what he did wrong but he just kept yelling. Finally one of his co-workers came to help the cashier but he still had an attitude the whole time. As I was walking out he was talking trash and being very impolite.
The shift workers fell every which way still laughing and enjoying the whole situation. However, the slidewalks stopping caused the seven minute delay which then had a ripple effect on the Master Schedule. The Harlequin had succeeded in disrupting the normal flow of everyday life and although the shift workers thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, it was not enough to cause them to rebel against the status quo. The Harlequin continued pulling pranks challenging the status quo. When he appears on the still-being-constructed shell of the new Efficiency Shopping Center he uses a bullhorn to convey his message.
In the large houses, where the rich were living, splendid meals were being eaten. Lavish food was being offered by the slaves; excellent wine was being poured by the slave-girls; songs were being sung by very skillful cithara players. But in the high block of flats, no splendid meals were being eaten, no cithara players were being heard. There the poor men, almost overcome by hunger, were living a very miserable life. Some were writing letters to patrons in order to seek their help; others were preparing to commit crimes.
He gets very selfish and his relationship with his family starts to get very bad. He begins to argue with his sister Beneatha more about the money thinking that he’s all a sudden biggity and their mother steps in and makes them come to their senses . His personality changes and he becomes this man with dreams of getting rich and hanging with the whites in bars downtown, sitting outside on their restaurant patios. “mama when im downtown and I pass them cool ,quiet looking restaurants where them white boys are sitting back talking bout things…sitting their turning deals worth millions of dollars… sometimes I see guys don’t look much older.”Pg.74 Walter is thinking of all these plans and things he wants to do but does he know that some places are segregated and that him sitting talking about millions of dollars and deals isn’t gonna get him nowhere in life. He looks at everything different now that money is involved, he even thought about
"Did it put any pressure on them? No, it was just a missed opportunity for many athletes. It just doesn't seem fair." Said Beardsley, 44, who went on to work on Wall Street, "If it was going to do some good, then we could sacrifice. But as time went on, as we realized what little impact it had, I became angry for what the boycott did to all these people, my friends and teammates, and people in all those other countries too."
Whereas, Walter is all about making money and reaching his goals. He is also extremely greedy. At one point Walter says, “I want so many things that they are driving me kind of crazy”(849). Many times throughout the movie Michael does not ask for much and he takes very little, and appreciates all he receives. During the scene where they were eating Thanksgiving dinner we saw the whole family taking huge helpings and Michael just taking a small amount.
“A man stood at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth Street the other day, looking gloomily at the carriages that rolled by, carrying the wealth and fashion of the avenues to and from the big stores down town. He was poor, and hungry, and ragged. This thought was in his mind, ‘They behind their well-fed teams have no thought for the morrow; they know hunger only by name, and ride down to spend an hour’s shopping what would keep me and my little ones from want a whole year.’”(How the Other Half Lives 233). This story of course doesn’t end happy. The man was taken over by rage and began lashing out at people on the streets with a knife and was sent to the crazy house.
“You ought to be ashamed…Giving your son a nickel when he is hungry. If there is a God, He’ll pay you back.”(33) During this time, Richard would do anything to get his hands on a penny, including getting drunk for men’s entertainment which led him to be a drunkard at the age of five. “As I would pass each man, I would take a sip from an offered glass. Soon I was drunk… From then on, for a penny or a
