Turn the Other Cheek

When someone insults you, it’s best to “turn the other cheek.”

This picture fits the statement to me, because a guy is getting punched in the face and he doesn't seem like he wants to do anything back. He is not going to take revenge on the person that did this to him. He is going to turn the other cheek by not insulting them back and just walking away. That's the best thing to do, because if not you will just cause more trouble and it would make things worse. I think this relates to the story, because the things Mr. Lindner was saying to the Youngers was mean and instead of Walter insulting him or taking revenge he just told Mr. Lindner to get out of their house. He didn't want to take the money because he knew they were trying to insult them by not wanting them to live in the neighborhood. He told Lindner they didn't want the money and to get out of their house.

Problem

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

I think that this statement goes with the play because to me, when Lindner came over to the Youngers' house he didn't really pay attention to how many people were living in such a small place. The problem with the Youngers is exactly that. There are too many people living in a small house and in a dirty neighborhood. Mr. Lindner didn't realize any of this and wasn't trying to see why they bought the house in a white neighborhood. The Youngers knew what Lindner's problem was. He just didn't try to see what theirs was. This picture relates to the play because this person is sitting all alone with no one to talk to and he may have very many problems, but know one knows because they won't talk to him. Some people say it's the person's fault for being homeless and alone, when sometimes it's not. They may have problems where they can't help but be alone. No one tries to see their problem though. Sometime people need to put their selves in someone else's shoes and try to see the world from their viewpoint.

Dreams

You should hold onto your dreams; if you work hard enough for them they will come true.

This statement explains how mama's dream was to get a new house. She waited for the money to come and then when she received it she went out searching for a better place and a nicer house for them to live. She finally found a place and when she paid for it, that's when her dream came true. This picture of the man holding onto his dreams and reaching it towards the sky is like mama not giving the money to Walter and holding onto her dreams of having a new house. She did't give him the money even though he kept begging for it, instead she followed her dream and bought a new house. After she got the house, she gave Walter the remaining money.
