Question? QAR Why did JB and Miss Tea make Filthy lonely? 
Why did Filthy need JB? Describe the mood of Filthy?

 JB and his Miss Sweet Tea, Filthy is lonely. In the piece This is Alex May I Please speak to Jordan
Identical twins are no different from everyone else, except we look and sometimes sound exactly the same, JB is doesn't see that Filthy needs him, and still doesn't want anyone any thing to come between them. Miss Sweet Tea has JB's attention.  Filthy is trying to hold on, but Jordan is a different zone. 
JB, Alex loves baseball, when he tries to Sub as JB they voices are the same while speaking to Miss Sweet Tea, and she can't tell it's not JB, its something that Alex wants, someone like Miss Sweet Tea, in his life.  In the piece JB and I, Alex compares, but he is remembering the past, but reality has changed and now he is longing for his brother, he mentions (homesick) ( alone) He misses his brother, who is occupied, with Miss Sweet Tea. He has been replaced, and he can't handle it. 
Alex(Filthy) Compares himself as the third wheel, the Second -Person, alone while JB is with her, there is no one to argue with, on which one is the greatest Michael Jordan or Bill Russel. He is by himself walking and while his brother is in a different world than him. In the piece Tip-ping points when objects shifts, he and his brother Alex and Jordan, are no longer ONE) unit twins as he sees it, but now they have shifted. In the main reason why I can't sleep, Jordan is on the phone with Miss Sweet Tea, laughing, vs lonely, how she compared to the apple of his eye, while Alex just wants and an apple because he is hungry. He feel a drift, but can't see the change or won't accept change, because they are twins. 
In reflection on JB and Alex they have growing apart, Alex can't handle that separation, his is lonely and needs JB all to himself. I remember something that I had to deal with traveling with out my father, he had to work and wasn't able to come to Yemen with me and my mother and brothers and sister. I yearned for him at 10 years old. He was always there, coming home seeing him, and get treats, but now I am alone without him. I would like for people that looked like my dad so I can imagine them as my dad. I day I saw this man who like so much like my dad, I followed him and waited for him outside without him knowing just to see him, it was seeing my father, I did that for a couple of times, it help me. I can see how Filthy wasn't ready to be independent of his twin brother. It hurts, to be away from the people we love. I love poetry, you can flip and flop your words, and up and down, ways to reading, doesn't have to be one way, it can be fun and funner, full of frantic ways to make us Jump, stop and watch! I would use books that give children creative ways to write, take a word, that has chain, words that rhythm, that make you happy or sad, its fun to write in different ways.

When we get to the court 

I challenge Dad 

The man is dad, we forget the strength our parents have, my father was older when I was a teenager, he was in his sixties, I would feel odd, but my father's hands were strong, he helped me in so many ways because he has passed the paths I was on. My father I love you are strong 

At Noon, in the Gym with Dad

Dad is fine, that is what matters that Dad is fine 

The father is dead, but the smiles start to come slowly, twists and turns, we will be back !

He is dead! the DA Man, Dad 

Josh and Jordan can't  hear him anymore, but maybe he can hear them, they speak to him while his in a coma, as JB, Josh, Mom, are! in a state of coma! Death is a wake up call, The tears we shed, he is dead. The jokes said, he is dead, the love of the game, is now dead, but kept alive through JB and Filthy. We mourn our loved ones, for all they have done to help us grow, but they had to leave because you can't stay, death called, you can't  fight it's the truth.
 Dad your going to go, we thank you DA Man you taught us a lot, of love dedication, excellence in every way, from a good husband to a good father, you are DA MAN and you will be missed
