Today in class we started out by talking about good fortune and bad fortune of Walter, Beanetha, and the house.  Good fortune for Walter would be investment, money for his family, and success.  While his bad fortune would be going into debt, getting a greater addiction to alcohol or something worse, or even losing his son.  Good fortune for Beanetha would be becoming a doctor, making money, succeeding as a black woman in the 1950's.  While her bad fortune would be dropping out of school, not wanting to be a doctor after finishing school, and the fact that she is a black women in the 1950's.  Finally the good fortune for the house would be less stress on the family, Walter's son has his own room, and a place to raise a new child.  Some bad fortune would be the KKK, an all white neighborhood, and unable to pay house payments causing debt in the future. We then continued to read the play however didn't get very far because their was a lock down.
