Walter Lee is the most troublesome person in the Young family. He harvests feelings of inadequacy as a man because he has not accomplished much with his life. Walter is the third generation born in the US. He’s 35 years old working as a chauffeur subject to only driving his white boss around town. As an African American living in the 1950’s the jobs that were available in industries or business were limited to the menial or subservient job positions. The windows of opportunities for a black African American in this country were limited to a small level of success. Walter’s dream of becoming a business man is was just that, a dream. He does not have the proper educated needed to be a successful business man. It is just an image he wants to fulfill

Coming of age is a important part of Walter’s life. When Walter turned 8, he got his own house key. This happened because Walter’s parents decided that he would get a house key once he reached age 8.

From reading Walter’s case and using the St. Amant et al. (2012) reading and comparing the two written pieces, as a nurse I would approach Walter’s situation with a high level of sensitivity. As the nurse conducting the assessment, Walter is viewed as orientated, realistic and needs help with his personal hygiene.

The layout of the maid, Walter, the stairs, and various pieces of furniture all appear to form a Fibonacci spiral that leads the viewer’s focus straight to Phyllis. It’s no coincidence that in
