The post that follows the rules!

"Ruth, why don't you give Mis' Johnson some coffee." (Mama, pg. 101)

Here we go:
DYNAMIC CHARATERS!
I think I'll talk mainly about Mama. She's sort of the catalyst for all the goings-on in this play. She is in charge of the money, she provides some comic relief, she tells Walter about Ruth's pregnancy, and she yells and beats up Walter when he almost sells the house back to the people in the new neighborhood. The description at the beginning of the play set her up in my mind as a good person that sometimes had to resort to bad measures. That makes no sense in writing. What I'm trying to say is she seems like she's not afraid to have to get down and into her problems to fix them, and that's why I like her. She has pride, but not enough that she can't accept help. Also, she's very dedicated to her family. If Mama had a page on Facebook, I'd be her fan.
