People Just Don't Care

I found this picture on Cache4.asset-cache.net. I think that is represents the statment because you can clearly see that the two people don't care about the one another. Instead of ingaging in a friendly conversation they absoultly ignore the fact there is even a person there. This proves the statment true because they are not even trying to notice each other.

In the Poem the statement goes with the scene where Benetha and George are in the appartment together. Benetha is telling him about the way she feels and her opinon on things. George just dosen't care either way, he tells Benetha that a woman should be quiet and pretty and not talk. Ultimately he dosen't care about the way Benetha feels, he is to stuck on himself and the way she makes him look.

Swallow Your Pride

Sometimes swallowing your pride is nessesary for survival. I got this picture from puppy-training-at-home.com. Obviously dogs can't talk but if they could the small one would definatly be the one to swallow his pride, if not the big dog would most likely eat him. I think it represents the statement because if you replace the small dog with a small person and replace the big dog with a big person it would have the same outcome. Hopefully though the big man would just beat up the small man instead of eating him.

Swallowing your pride is in the poem Rasin in the Sun, in the scene where Benetha says their is not a god. If she would have just swallowed her pride and quit while she was ahead, she wouldn't have got slapped in the face by Mama. Also Momma wouldn't have made her say "In my mother's house their is still god!" She wasn't feel very proud after having to say that.
