He is a good student in highschool, plays football, and hopes to make his father proud.]]> 2020-01-14 18:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/431477244 Character Trait: Respectful isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432785687 "troy: You eat every day.
cory: Yessir!
troy: Got a roof over your head.
cory: Yessir!
troy: Got clothes on your back.

This quote shows that Cory respects his father and has been taught and raised to do so.]]> 2020-01-17 04:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432785687 Character Trait: Ambitious isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432786370 "cory: Come on, Pop! I got to practice. I can’t work
after school and play football too. The team
needs me. That’s what Coach Zellman say . . ."
This quote shows that Cory knows what he wants in his life and works hard to balance his goals.]]> 2020-01-17 04:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432786370 Strengths & Weakness isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432786844 Cory has many strength going along with his determination to reach his goals. We hear him talk about balancing his school and work life several times throughout the play. Cory does have a large weakness in acceptance though. This is especially obvious in one of the final scenes where he almost refuses to go to his fathers funeral. I sympathize with Cory strongly because I also have problem with accepting change.]]> 2020-01-17 04:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432786844 Art Relation isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432787881 This is "My Son Tred Always Follow Father's Footsteps" by Theodore Kittlesen. It shows two anthropomorphic frogs walking, the father in front as the son walks through the fathers footprints in the mud. I think this relates to Cory because he looked up to his dad very much, but even though he did not want to end up like Troy many of his traits rubbed off on him.]]> 2020-01-17 04:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432787881 Poem Relation isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432789435 https://poets.org/poem/my-fathers-hats
This poem relates to Cory because the author talks about his father in the memory of his hats that he held as a kid. The author wrote this several years after his fathers death, so Cory would relate to the reminiscing of a lost father as well.]]> 2020-01-17 04:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432789435 You Raise Me Up- Josh Groban isanti94 https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432789504 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJxrX42WcjQ
When I am down, and, oh, my soul, so weary
When troubles come, and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
You raise me up to more than I can be

I think Cory would relate to this later in the play because of his realization that his father had already helped him grow up and become a great man. He does not need to worry about all the bad things he did anymore]]> 2020-01-17 12:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/isanti94/jaj7a5guiptc/wish/432885417
