| Episode One
Reaction: Being with my first time watching Breaking Bad and hearing so many things about this show; I felt that it was interesting to watch and enjoyed watching it. I picked up from Walter's character that he was bored with his lifestyle after finding out that he was going to die soon. I also assumed that the reason of why he decided to start making/selling drugs was because it was easy money and why not do it since he would be gone soon?
Gender Expectations: The personality traits that was expected from Walter was a "goody two shoe", he was seemed to be uptight and did things of the ordinary. Once he started changing his ways, his family and others didn't expect him to act this way. For example, when he cursed out his boss, his boss didn't expect this reaction. His family also didn't expect him to lash out those who were making fun of his son in the store. Also, the person that he decides to do "business" with, doesn't expect him to be serious about making drugs.
Masculine Traits: In the beginning, Walter doesn't show masculinity traits being how his personality was, because he didn't want to hold the gun at his surprise birthday party, and just had an awkward demeanor. However, his brother-in-law showed masculine traits because he cursed, drank beer, and the type of job he has.
Social Problems: The social problems that were revealed was RJ getting bullied and economic problems because Walter's wife told him not to use the second credit card to buy things.

I agree that Hank, (Walter's brother in law) showed the most masculinity traits rather than Walter. I forgot to point out in my own blog that his actions, drinking beer and cursing, shows how dominant he likes to be as the main man. He wants to the main attraction, having everyone have their eyes on him. While Walter, is just calm and goes about his business/keeping to his own.
ReplyDeleteWalter's time was announced as limited by his doctor, once he got the full diagnosis of the cancer. I agree, he knew that life was too short to live a boring life. In the end, he decided to go far and beyond to reach straight out of his comfort zone. Being that he had to do this all behind the family's back, he knew that he wanted to live his life living in the rush of things, such as becoming the drug dealer and making easy money in order to fund the family.
