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.
