Journal #7

Read pages 41-50  Why do you think Gabe thinks Troy is mad at him?

15 comments:

  1. Gabe thinks Troy's mad at him because he moved away to Miss Pearl's to live on his own. The text includes Rose saying, "He thinks Troy's mad at him cause he moved over to Miss Pearl's." Gabe pays rent while living with her and she doesn't mind him living there. Troy claims to not care by saying he doesn't put rules on him but I believe he cares.

  2. I agree with Anwaar because he tries acting like he doesn't care but deep down he cares that gabe is living with someone else.

  3. I agree with Arber because he does care that gabe is somewhere else. But either way gabe probably misses him too, even tho he he wants to live somewhere else.

  4. I agree with everyone above. Gabe thinks that Troy is mad at him because Gabe moved to Miss Pearl's as saying on pages 25 and 48. Gabe found a residency to live, but Troy is not happy about it, and he says that he does not care about where Gabe is living, but in reality he does care.

  5. Gabe thinks Troy is mad at him because of how careless he acts in the book. Even though he moved on with his life. To know the feeling of living on your own. To become a young adult, Troy truly cares about gabe taking this next step.

  6. Gabe assumes Troy is upset with him because he moved into Miss Pearl's house(on page 48). However, I think it's deeper than that; part of it is the fact that Troy think Miss Pearl is using Gabe to pay her rent with his disability money.

  7. I agree with Sarah because Rose says "He thinks Troy's mad at him cause he moved over to Miss Pearl's." and Troy replies how Miss Pearl "doesn't mind that rent he be paying" which means Miss Pearl could be using Gabe.

  8. I agree with Anwaar And Arber I think they're both right because Troy is really mad at him , because he moved out and he wants to live on his own but troy is also acting like he don't care and the's good with that but deep inside he's kida broken about that

  9. Gave thinks that Troy is mad at him because he moved out of home and now lives with Miss Pearl, as mentioned on pages 25 and 48. Miss Pearl doesn't mind him living there because he pays rent, the text even says that she "doesn't mind that rent he be paying". I believe Troy is upset that Gabe moved out but acts like he doesn't care because he wants one of his children (Lyons) to be more dependent and work so it would be hypocritical if he admitted he was hurt by Gabe's act of independence.

  10. I agree with everyone. In the play, Gabe says to Lyons "Troy's mad at me" and he exits. Lyons ask his pops why and Rose replies saying that "He thinks Troy's mad at him cause he moved over to Miss Pearl's." Troy says that he ain't mad at Gabe. Troy also said that Miss Pearl don't mind the rent he is paying. I think Troy is mad that Gabe moved out. However, Gabe want to be alone, independent and don't want to rely on anyone. Rose tells him that Gabe moved there cause he wants his own place.

  11. Gabe thinks Troy is mad at him because he decided to move in with Miss Pearl. Troy believes Miss Pearl is using Gabe for his money. In the play Troy states, "She don't mind that rent he be paying... that's what she don't mind."

  12. Gabriel thinks that Troy is mad at him because he moved in with Miss Pearl. The reason why Troy doesn't like him moving in with her is because he believes that Miss Pearl is just using Gabe by making him pay rent for letting him stay with her. (pgs 48-49)

  13. I agree with Sarah and Kevin because they make valid points, but Troy just thinks Miss pearl is using him. Troy is just upset that gabe is moving but gabe as stated back in the play said that he wants to be alone and independent

  14. Gabe probably thinks Troy is mad at him because he moved to Miss, Pearl's. But I think Troy is actually worried for Gabe.

  15. I believe Gabe thinks Troy is mad at him simply because Troy will not looking over Gave as he is moving out. Ever since that incident, Troy has been clearly seen respecting Gabe, unlike everyone else. The reason why was because Gabe is mentally-ill and needs to be taken care of. There is an issue greater than Troy not being able to take care of Gabe. Even though Gabe is mentally-ill, I believe his bizzare sayings are significant. "Better get ready for the Judgement! Better get ready." This is most likely foreshadowing an event because of Gabe moving out. I agree with Sergio because Troy is described as a wise person. Therefore when Troy does not like Miss Pearl, that means he know Miss Pearl is up to no good.
