In Scene 4, Troy explains his beliefs about his responsibilities as a father.

Prompt Response:

I believe parents owe their children more than just food, clothing, and shelter. Children also need love, encouragement, support, and someone they can talk to. Parents don’t have to be their child’s best friend, but they should make their child feel cared for and supported.




Summary:

Troy believes his responsibility as a father is mainly providing for his family, but being a parent also involves emotional support.




Reflection:

I think having a parent who listens and encourages you can make a big difference. Kids should feel like they can depend on their parents, especially when they are going through something difficult.
