Breaking Bad is about a man called Walter, he's a chemistry teacher who has a pregnant wife and a disabled kid suffering from cerebral palsy.  However, things turn for the worst as he finds out he has cancer and only has three more years to live.  Walter decides to cook crystal using his chemistry skill and sells it for money so that he can support his wife, his soon to be new born and his son after he had gone. 

One representation in Breaking Bad is cancer.  This is clear to the audience that he has cancer because it's a typical representation of how people are told they have cancer, they have a one on one with the Doctor in which they make sure the patient is okay with what they have found out and understand it as well.  It is evident that Walter is shock and surprised because the camera goes into a point of view shot which is blurred.  The realisation hits home for Walter now knowing that he has only a few more years left to live, this helps the audience connect with Walter and feel sorry for him.  You can clearly tell that this news has hit Walter hard when he is at the Car Wash. This is a small job he does to make a little extra money for him family, however, the shock of his new illness leads him to quit in a rage of anger.

Walter junior suffers from cerebral palsy, Breaking Bad represents him as being a disabled child that can't really stick up for himself due to his illness, this is evident when they are in the clothes shop and a group are mocking him because he can't pull his trousers up without assistance, his dad has to stand up for him which show Walter JR  to be relatively weak and scared.  However, In Breaking Bad there are also glimpses of disabled people being able to do many things that a abled body person could do like taking drugs, even though he doesn't take drugs his family become very suspicious of him.
