Okay, Walter’s risk fell through the roof; Beneatha has no money for medical school, and Walter has nothing to start any kind of business on his own. When a family is in a desperate situation, I believe that they need to think more strategically, which is why I oppose the Youngers’ decision to turn down Mr. Linder’s offer. It seems ludicrous to me.
Because of the risky decision Walter made of investing all of money Mama gave him, Walter now has to pay for new living accommodations for a family of six with the income he receives as a measly chauffeur. In a city, where everything is generally more expensive, I can see the Younger family barely living paycheck to paycheck with such a low income. So, with that idea in mind, I think it’s a great idea to bargain with Mr. Linder to get a nice sum of money for that house; the family isn’t happy with the idea of selling their pride. The all-white community better show their prejudice through their deep pockets.
Now, I do admire the ethics that the Younger family possesses, but to pass up such a business opportunity where they have the advantage is silly; they might be able to get double the amount of much cash as what they originally paid for the house. That money could’ve been used for school, a new home, and a business. The family just threw that away.
