RIGHT OR WRONG???

I believe that, although it was the classic thing to do, it was probably the wrong decision for Walter to tell Mr. Linder that they still wanted to move into that house. He had just lost all of their families money, and that was the last bit that they could possibly get back. Obviously the neighbors did not want them there if they were willing to donate more money than the house actually cost for them to move somewhere else. Earlier in the play, they had read about someone setting fire to a black family's house. Why would anyone want to put themselves in those circumstances? They are trying to do the right thing so that Travis doesn't have to grow up and continue the same way they always have, but moving him into a white neighborhood may be dangerous. All in all, I think their family is too obsessed with pride, as many people are. They don't want to be intimidated by "the man," so they stick it to him, not letting him have his way.
