He  has a metal plate in his head from fighting in the war. This has left him slightly mentally ill. He also believes that if he blows his trumpet he can call to open the gates to heaven.]]> 2020-01-13 18:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430936713 Post #2 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430937632 He is a extremely loving and religious man]]> 2020-01-13 18:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430937632 Post #3 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938007 gabriel: "Hey, Rose. It’s time. It’s time to tell Saint
Peter to open the Gates.
Troy, you ready?"
Raynell
comes out on the porch and hides
behind Rose, shy. Gabe smiles at her,
and she returns his smile.
gabriel: "You ready, Troy. I’m gonna tell Saint Peter
to open the Gates. You get ready now." Gabe was kind and patient with Raynell and he blew his trumpet to tell Saint peter of open to gates to heaven]]> 2020-01-13 18:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938007 Post #4 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938441 I would say that I sympathize with him but at the same time I envy him. Not the position he is in but the love he spreads to the world. The way he sees the world and the good he sees in people, i think is 100% something to be envied. He is the type of people that we need in the world]]> 2020-01-13 18:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938441 Post #5 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938822 You never saw Gabe without his trumpet. He keeps it close just in case it was time for Saint Peter to ogen the gates to heaven. He kept it for years just waiting.  ]]> 2020-01-13 18:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430938822 Post #6 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430939509 this poem explains that a good man would do anything for someone else. That is Gabe. Gabe has a heart of gold and eyes that can see only the good in everyone. He would give an arm and a leg to help a complete stranger out.]]> 2020-01-13 18:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430939509 Post #7 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430939825 If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
If you tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song
Beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will
Remind you
Ooh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye
You know you can
Count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

The whole song is talking about how you can count on me to do whatever you need. He opened to gates to heaven for his brother. He is the kindest character in the play in my opinion.]]> 2020-01-13 18:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430940185 Post #9 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430940920 You should always stick to your morals.
"WALTER (Off stage) Y’all come on! These people charges
by the hour, you know!
MAMA (Waving RUTH out vaguely) All right, honey—go on
down. I be down directly."
This family fought so hard to get there dream house and defied all odds and good what they wanted. They didn't let themselves be scared away.]]> 2020-01-13 18:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430940920 post #10 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430941468 If you don't nurture love, it shrivels up and rots.
"cory: The whole time I was growing up . . . living in
his house . . . Papa was like a shadow that followed you everywhere. It weighed on you and sunk
into your flesh. It would wrap around you and lay
there until you couldn’t tell which one was you
anymore. That shadow digging in your flesh. Trying
to crawl in. Trying to live through you. I’m just
saying I’ve got to find a way to get rid of that
shadow, Mama."
Troy didn't nurture or bond with his son and instead pushed him away. It ended in resentment from Cory to Troy. Cory thought of him as a shadow more the a father. Someone to always watch out for. That is a prime example of how fragile love can be.]]> 2020-01-13 18:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/430941468 Post 11 cbrown414 https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/433005540 The two play take place a around the same time period. They both talk a lot about family dynamic in a home. The roles of the husbands and wives are closely the same also. The men strong, hard headed, and selfish. The women would be domesticated, understanding, and quiet. The traditional household with the traditional roles

Even with that there are lots of differences also. Things like the sons had very different relationships with their fathers. There fathers had almost opposite parenting skills. Walter spoiled Trevor and encouraged his hopes and dreams. While Troy wanted Cory to just accept what was comfortable and crushed his dreams of playing football.Rose was a lot more comfortable and talkative with her husbands friends the Ruth.]]> 2020-01-17 16:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cbrown414/1p1vcoi2msha/wish/433005540
