Although looking like the “man next door,” Walter breaks free from the stigma of the average white male and challenges the hegemonic foundation of the US government and its laws by building an illegal meth empire on his own terms and killing anyone that stands in his way, including…

On my brothers way down to the dinner table he tripped and fell down the stairs. I began to chuckle as I saw his body now lying of the floor. To my defense I was not the only one who found his actions comical. I was accompanied by the giggles of my family. Fortunately, my brother was not badly injured and soon chimed in with the laughter. This incident made me recognize how people find amusement in the mistakes of others. The same concept can be applied to the entertainment that comes from…
