The first conflict that is introduced in the scene is of Troy's position at work. After a brief discussion about a co-workers attempt to steal a watermelon, Troy questions his boss why the black co-workers are not allowed to drive the garbage trucks and are forced to reside at the back end hauling the trash. Troy is told to take the matter to the Union meeting the following week. He then goes on to explain to Bono that he is not afraid of the consequences of poking at the system, even if the expensive is his job. From the chapter we see Troy is a headstrong individual who sticks to his beliefs. He sees that the system is wrong and he is probably going to keep poking and prodding at the issue until he gets his satisfaction or is terminated.
I think the father would be proved wrong by his other son from another women and his other son. Troy seems very head strong and he seems like an "I need to see it to belive it" type of guy. He has alot in store for him...
One of the conflicts in the story is the relationship between Troy and his son. His son seems to have high hopes for taking off with a career in music and refuses to work any type of labor job. Where as Troy works for what he earned. I feel that the son is gonna run into a lot of trouble since he seems to have his head in the clouds while Troy is going to have problems with his own life due to his stubborn and pigheadedness.
The first conflict that was introduced in the play was the conflict of inequality. Troy questions his boss about the inequality throughout the company. He states that only the white workers had the priviledge of driving the trucks, but black workers only were aloud to actually haul the trash. What appears to be his best friend Bono, basically states that reacting the way Troy did had consequences, and one of those consequences could be losing his job.
The first conflict that is brought up in act one is the inequality between white workers and black workers. Troy finds it unfair that only the white men can be the garbage truck drivers and he is stuck carrying and picking up the trash. I think Troy will end up either causing a problem between the whites and blacks at work or he will make a change and will be able to be a driver. Troy seems like he likes to voice his opinion even if others do not like it. He does it when he feels that something is unfair or wrong.
One of the conflicts in the first scene is that Troy's son only comes to visit him when he needs money. This is a conflict for them, showing that they don't really have a close relationship because he only comes when he needs something. Troy offers his son a job, but his son doesn't think that kind of job is for him. Troy's son claims that his wife is working so it's fine for him to not have a job right now. Troy points out that if she has a job, then why is he coming here for money? So far, I think that Troy makes alot of sense in what he says. I agree with him, but he shouldn't force his son to work a job he doesn't want to work. I think that he is precise and thorough in what he explains, but seems a little crazy too about what he says about the devil. He is also very opinionated and wants to speak his voice. He doesn't care if it will cost him his job. I see a big problem coming up in the play because of Troy's opinionated mind.
One of the main conflicts that is introduced into the story is the arguement between Troy and his employeer. Troy had asked his boss, Mr. Rand, on the subject of why African Americans are not allowed to drive the garbage trucks and are only allowed to do the lifting. However, Mr. Rand saw this complaint as a threat and now is concerned that Troy will take further actions into this complaint of discrimination. Troy now feels that he may very well be fired from his job from his comment and is now unsure of whether or not he should take legal action. Knowing Troy from his personality, I have come to the conclusion that he will not take legal action and simply wait out for the end results of Mr. Rand's decisions. I know this because Troy has already showed this pattern of ignoring with the loan shark that he still pays after fifteen years.
One arguement in the first act is betwenen Troy and the employee. Te arguement was why blacks can't drive the truck.

The first conflict in the story is betweer Troy and his boss. Troy thinks it's unfair that only the white employees get to drive the trucks, so he makes a complaint to the union. I think troy's actions will cost him his job.
One of the main conflicts in this first scene is when Troy creates problems with his boss. Troy makes multiple complaints because he thinks it's unfair that only the white men get to drive te trucks. Meanwhile, the colored men have to do the dirty work and lift heavy things. Aware of the consequences, Troy shows no shame for what he did. On the other hand, Bono isn't too fond of Troy's actions although he does have respect for what he did. He simply fears possibility of losing his job. Troy's actions show that he is brave, wise, and true to himself.
A conflict that is introduced in the first scene is between Troy and his son, Cory. Troy used to play professional baseball. Troy says racism was one of the reasons that he stopped playing baseball. Cory has been promised a college scholarship to play football but Troy doesn't let him take the scholarship. Troy is convinced that Cory will face racism just like he did.
The first conflict that is introduced in the beginning of the story is the power that the white workers have over the black workers. Troy finds it unfair that the white workers are allowed to drive the trucks while the black workers are stuck picking up trash. When questioning his boss about this, he immediatly took it as a threat. I think Troy will either take it into further action or be fired.
one conflict in the first scene is that troy is unhappy with the way things are at his job. he questions his boss when he finds that one his co-works tried to steal a watermelon and continues to ask way his black co-works are forced to be on the back of the garbage and are not allowed to drive. his boss tells him to talk to the union. i think that he will continue his quest to change things and the only thing that would stop him is to be let go. troy isn't afraid to be let go so i think that he will say what is on his mind until someone stops him
One of the first conflicts brought up in the book is when Troy complains about his position at work. He is mad at his boss for only letting white men drive the trucks at work. Bono seems to think that if Troy sticks up for himself and the other African Americans at work, he will be fired from his job for talking back.
A conflict that presents itself in Act 1, Scene 1 is Troy's problem with his boss. He feels that it is unfair for the boss to assign the blacks the job of lifting things, yet the whites get to drive the trucks. When Troy confronts his boss about it, he is told to take his problem to the Union. Troy seems as if he is very consistent and stubborn. He will probably not stop fighting this issue until it is solved.
one of the conflits that was brought about in the first scean is that troy filed a compliant. also he is angry that only whites are allowed to drive the trucks. it could be bad for him because blacks dont get reconized as much as they should be.
Troy and his son have a love hate relationship. as lynnos needs money from his father and oly comes around when he needs it, he does show sme respect and expects to recive help from his father. however, troy doesnt apperiacte lyonns only showing up when he needs something, such as help or money. although troy gets mad rose and him self end up helping him out. even though he doesnt really want to help him out he feels forced to because of his wife and being his father.
One of the conflicts in the first scene was that Troy felt that it was wrong that the black men always had to lift while the white men got to drive the truck. Troy confronted his boss about this and talked about it with his friend. I think Troy is going to end up losing his job over this question.
There are many complaints brought to our attention in the beginning of this well written and enjoyable novel. The one conflict that stuck out in my mind was when Troy was complaining that while the whites drive the trucks, the colored workers have to do manual labour. This was quite disturbing to Troy and he was so bothered by it that he brough it to Mr. Rand's attention. Mr. Rand's response was to just file a complaint. This is a situation that can lead to Troy no longer working for Mr. Rand.
SHOUT OUT TO MRS. GAJEWSKI'S PERIOD 7 CLASS WOOOOOO! PERIOD 7 IS FRICKEN AWESOME!
One of the main conflicts brought up in Act 1 is Troy's issue with his job. He believe it's unfair that the black men have to do the lifting and the white men get to drive around the trucks. Therefore, he approached his boss about his concern. This shows he's the type of person who speaks his mind and sticks up for what he believes in. This can be a potential problem, however, because this confrontation could cost Troy his job. He needs to decide what is more important to him: his job or his pride?

An issue that he has is that black men have to do the heavy lifting while whites drive the trucks. I think his son will prove him wrong in the end.
