Wright faces extreme racism at every job he works also. When he is younger, he helps out whites around their houses for pay and he seems to be treated the same way he would have been treated if he were their slave.
Physical, Verbal, Indirect, Social alienation, intimidation and Cyber bullying. (Beka 1) “As kids prepare to return to school this month, some will be excited to see their friends again.

Walter wants it so he could become owner of a Liquor store, whereas Beneatha wants to go to go school to become a doctor. Mama gives him the remaining $6,500 of the insurance money, telling him to deposit $3,000 for Beneatha’s education and to keep the last $3,500. Walter agrees, but we come to find out when Bobo arrives that he did not put the money in the bank for his sister that he used all the money for the liquor store and that Willy Harris run off with it all. When this happens during the play it is tough to feel bad for Walter because throughout the play he has not been good with money from when his son asks for 50 cents and he gives a dollar and then has no money, or by him constantly spending money on alcohol. This also drives a very big wedge between Walter and Beneatha because she was entitled to some of the money that was lost during the business transaction.

My parents just could not afford a new coat at the time. I am not mad and I am not blaming my parents for that. Just like Mabry, I understand those tough choices my family had to face. In my opinion, there is no substitute for personal experience and only a person who comes from an impoverished environment can truly understand the rigors it generates. Therefore, I totally agree with Mabry’s statement that “our friends are willing to listen, but most of them are unable to imagine the pain of the impoverished lives” (116).
During the trial of Tom Robinson, Scout notices that even if Mayella was lying in court during her testimony, “she must have been the loneliest person in the world” (191). Mayella always asked Tom Robinson to come over to her house and help her fix things or chop things down just because she wanted a friend. She was always lonely in the house since her siblings were too young to be her friend and no one in Maycomb wanted to be her friend since the Ewells had a bad reputation. Furthermore, Scout got to literally put herself in Boo Radley’s shoes; a man who stayed in his “haunted” home all day.
