Act 1 scene 4

I think Troy is very closed minded but also afraid that his son won't get as much opportunity because he didn't. I think his son is gonna show him and Troy will become more open to other things. When he gotten his ten dollars back that he wasn't expecting probably made him think...

act 1 scene 4

i think that troy is good father but his stubborness and lack of understanding for what cory wants to do with his life makes the situation difficult. He doesn't want cory to go through what he went through trying to play baseball. He just wants the best for his son and doesn't want to see him get let down. He thinks the safest thing for cory to do is just to go work, make money, and save it for his future.

conflict

One of the main conflics in act one is when Troy lets his boss know that only the whites get to drive the trucks, meanwhile the colored people lift. Troy realizes his boss is racist and Troy does not appriciate the fact that only white men can drive the trucks. Bono is afraid that Troys statement will get them fired. Troy might get fired for his personality but he knew he had to stand up for himself.

Conflict

One main conflict in Act 1 is the one between Troy and his son Lyons. Lyons comes to the house to borrow ten dollars, and Troy did not want to give it to him. Lyons claimed he would pay him back because his girlfriend just started a job at the hospital. Troy says Lyons can work for his own money and Troy needs it for himself. Rose ends up getting mad at Troy and gives Lyons the money.

I have no sympathy for troy. Life isnt fair and if he feels he is being treated unequally because of the color of his skin he is probably right. Today minorities can get into schools and jobs easier then whites can. This is just the way things go. I think he isnt a bad father however.

Good Father

I believe Troy is a good father even though he is very narrow minded. Troy's past experience with baseball leads him to believe that cory wont have any future in football and hell never get reckognized because of his color. Troy just wants the best for his son and thinks he should work and make money to support himself instead of persue a sport just like troy did and go nowhere.
