First is how Troy is giving throughout the play. Even though Troy has almost no money from his job with having to pay bills he still loans out money to Lyons any way, "Yeah, I got it. You know why I got it? Cause I don't throw my money away out there in the streets. You living the fast life... wanna be a musician... running around in them clubs and things... then, you learn to take care of yourself. You ain't gonna find me going find me going and asking nobody for nothing. I done spent too many years without" (1273). This shows how Troy is without money a lot of the time, yet he can't see Lyons go without so Troy does give Lyons the money. Another instance where Troy shows the trait of giving is when he tells Rose, "Rose... I don't mess up my pay. You know that now. I take my pay and I give it to you. I don't have no money but what you give me back" (1300). This shows that Troy doesn't keep his money to himself, he gives it to his wife so she can use it to pay bills or use it for the children and what she has left, she gives to Troy.

Lastly, is how troy shows the trait of responsibility. Well there is one scene where he doesn't want the same life for his son, "I don't want him to be like me! I want him to move as far away from my life as he can get. You the only decent thing that ever happened to me. I wish him that. But I don't wish hum a thing else form my life. I decided seventeen years ago that boy wasn't getting involved in no sports. Not after what they did to me in the sports" (1283). This shows that Troy is responsible for his son and that he wants Cory to get his priorities right and not be off chasing the dream of becoming a sports star so he can become a responsible man himself. Another scene where Troy shows responsibility is where Troy brings home his daughter that was the result of his affair "She's my daughter, Rose. My own flesh and blood. I can't deny her no more than I can deny then boys. (pause) You and then boys is my family. You and them boys and this child are all I got in the world. So I guess what I'm saying is... I'd appreciate it is you'd help me take care of her" (1302). This quote took place after the fact that the child's mother had died and that since Troy is the father, Troy lives up to his responsibility that he has to take care of his new baby.

it of honesty. First, Troy shows this when he tells his own son Cory, that he takes care of him beca
