resilience is something that describes Cory because during the play he had to deal with a lot, like not being able to play football for college because his dad wouldn't let him, and dealing with him not really liking him. in the play the author states " Everything that boy do . . . he do for you. He wants you to say, “Good job, son.” That’s all." (Wilson) this shows how Cory is just trying to get his dad's approval.

In the play sees himself as really strong to the point that he challenged his dad to fight saying that he wasn't scared of him. Troy sees as a little kid or so because when they fought he wasn't scared of him at all, he was basically making fun of him.

When he says "I've paid my dues time after time" it reminds me of Cory paying for lying to his dad. when he says "I've done my sentence, but committed no crime" reminds me of Cory having to deal with his dad not letting him play football and throwing his dreams away. And when he says "and bad mistakes, I've made a few" it reminds me of Cory doing the things he did to get the "strikes" with Troy, like pushing him, and challenging him to fight by saying that he wasn't scared, and then getting beat up by Troy.

One of the themes of the play is "people's actions affect their family relationships" this is shown during the whole play like Troy and rose, or Troy and Lyons, Or Troy and Cory. The way Troy acted in front of all these characters affected how they saw him, some of these actions let Cory to think that he doesn't like him in the play he says "How come you ain’t never liked me?" (Wilson) Cory felt that Troy didn't like him because he treated him that way,. Also the way he talked to Lyons let Lyons to talk about the way he was raised and telling him that he wasn't there. And the way he treated Rose led to getting away from him, and she didn't want to be with him.
