Ruth is a woman of few words, but she is somehow able to get her family to stay together. Whenever there is a fight between all of them, even if she is part of the fight, she mostly gets all of them to stop fighting and make them realize that there is no point in fighting. I feel like Ruth is someone I connected to, at least some of personality traits do. She quite but is still heard, she helps people get through problems, she is trusting but still has her secrets. Also I find it funny when she is in the middle of talking and Walter does something and she just stops and goes "Walter Lee" or something.
