ellis -I believe it is because Troy has a hard time accepting things can change for the better of things. I believe Troy is fearful of Cory even having a chance to go pro in football due to skin color

julius troy took football away from cory

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I can now see why troy would be a little harder on cory because he was never taught how to love when he was a boy. He mother the parent that is a usually the most loving left and he was left with his dad who could not show love towards troy

Corey wants to play football but Troy wont let him and it's causing problems with their family.

Life does not have to do what we want it to do at all. Nothing we can do can influence it or control what happens. We simply just have to wait it out and see what there is in store for us. Hopefully that is for the better.

His mother can't let his son go somewhere before Cory left. on page 42

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because Troy never had a relationship with his father and his parents never loved him so he cant show love or a good relationship with his own sons

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that Troy had it really rough which made it difficult for him to able to show any affection at all.

# data[].attributes.body
Rose shows anxiety when it comes to Troy and Cory's relationship. She does not like it when they go at it so she tries to mediate and prevent things like telling Cory to pickup his room before Troy sees it messy

# data[].attributes.body
Troys father being abusive affected him externally and internally

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because Troy didn't have a good father to teach him how to be a good father so that causes Troy to be a harsh dad.

# data[].attributes.body

I think Troy is mad that he didnt get a chance to play for the big league but also is scared for his son going into the league because he is colored and doesnt want to accept that things have changed.

# data[].attributes.body
Troy makes himself not trust Cory and not believe a single word he says and he doesnt want cory to be like him

# data[].attributes.body
Troy can't accept that sports have changed and doesn't believe his son will be able to play football so he takes it away from him.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, after reading what troy had to say about his relationship with his father, it explains why he doesnt show affection, hes never had someone whos a good father figure.

# data[].attributes.body
because he felt like it was gonna be a waste of time because he was following in the same foot steps as him and he didnt want him to go through the same thing he did.

# data[].attributes.body
A Major conflict in the story is between Troy and his Family, he has a hard time seeing eye to eye with Lyons, Cory and even Rose from time to time for example the issues with Cory playing football ¨papa done went up to the school and told coach Zellman I can´t play football no more¨

# data[].attributes.body
Because he getting so hard time to do it, accept that scene about Cory give him a chance a he going some games, but his father no excused.

# data[].attributes.headline
leila- yes because it explains why troy is harsh with cory. because of him growing up with no parents to guide him. And growing up like that alone he doesn´t want cory to follow what he did or get hurt.

Life doesnt give us what we expect. This relates to the play because troy probably execpted to have a loving family and instead his mother left and his dad was abusive. He might of exepcted to go to the league but instead he is a garbage truck driver. Long stroy short this qoutes means life is crazy so live life and roll with the punches.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Troy has a hard time with accepting that times have changed, he was jealous of Cory's opportunity. So he purposely made unrealistic expectations to justify his sabotage." Why you Troying me for, I did it and the boy knows why I did it."

# data[].attributes.body
Troy follows this idea because the only thing troy believes in is you work hard because otherwise nobody is going to give you a hand when times get rough

# data[].attributes.body
Life wont give you what you want, you have to go out and grab it, nothing comes in easy in life, and dont expect it come to you.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes , i see why it is kind of difficult or Troy treating the way he is treating Cory because of his past

# data[].attributes.body
yes because tory never had a good relationship with his father troy father did not care about him and his father

# data[].attributes.body
I think Troy didnt sign the papers because he doesnt want him to see him succeed because he didnt, or he dosnt want him to go through all the racist things that happend like Troy.

# data[].attributes.body
Kind of fathers him the same by showing he doesn't "like" him

Troy has contentment towards different things including his son and football. This means he doesnt like it or has something against it. Thats because some of the things in his past keep him from liking it

# data[].attributes.body
I think troy didn't sign the papers because he didnt want cory following the same footsteps as him

# data[].attributes.body
Troy in a lot of ways is much alike with his father but also very similar. So because of the way he was treated by his dad maybe have influenced some decisions on how he parents so his kids do not have to go through the same thing

# data[].attributes.body
Troy's past experience with the segregated, and unfair, baseball league leave him leery about letting his son play a sport.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Troy's refusal to sign the recruitment papers stems from Troy's experience and his beliefs. He is very protective in a tough love kind of way, this is his way of protection to me.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, reading more about Troy's father impacted the way I view Troy's parenting because it just seems like the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree. Honestly, he should've recognized how he was treated and not treated his own the same way
