Troy was a man of many things he was a father, brother, husband and most
of all a friend to others. Like most things people relied on him mostly on
money and maybe some support here and there. All troy was trying to do was
bring home the bacon and most people wouldn’t survive without him. Troy was stretch
to the fullest on make sure everything in the house hold was being taken care
of.
“Troy Like you? I go out here
every morning….. Bust my butt… putting up with them crackers every day … cause I
like you? You about the biggest fool I ever saw” (Wilson 38). Even though in
this part it may seem that troy is being hard on his boy but only just to get
his son to understand its just tough love.
Still troy
“it’s my job. It’s my
responsibility! You understand that? A man got to take care of his family you
live in my house ….. Sleep you behind on my bedclothes… fill you belly up with
my food… cause you my son. You my flesh and blood not cause I like you! Cause it
my duty to take care of you I owe a responsibility to you! Let’s get this
straight right here… before it go along any further … I aint got to like you. Mr.
Rand don’t give me my money come payday cause he likes me. He gives me cause he
owe me. I done give you everything I had to give you. I gave you your life….”(Wilson
38)
What troy was trying to have Cory realize is that it I do love you
son but I am not going to treat you will your mom does I am going to treat you
like a man and show you and tell you
what a man does you may not like it but
you have to hear it.
As the years go on troy and Cory relationship kinds of shifts in a way Cory finally a stands up to his
dad how his way is not the best way but then he realize it’s for the best that he
should leave
“Cory: come on put
me out
(Cory swings at troy, who backs across the
yard)
What’s the matter? You
so bad… put me out” (Wilson 88)
The way troy shape
and develop his legacy that he made something out of his son.
I like the way you started off your blog post. I also agree when you said Troy takes care of his family.
