Readers Response (Tyrell)

In the book that I'm reading (Tyrell, by: Coe Booth) The main character Tyrell seems to be the father figure  to his little brother Troy. This isn't a good thing because Tyrell was miss guided by his dad who is currently  in jail and will be getting out soon. There is no money being made for Tyrell, Troy and their mother  to live in a house without government assistance. So as the oldest son Tyrell dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and started hustling for some money so that he could provide for his family. He is doing all that he could, he is being a "man," using the little tools and guidance given to him by his father. By following the example that his father made Tyrell wont get far, so he should start his own path and allow his brother troy to be able to look up to his in a positive way. Part of setting an example for Troy is showing him how important his educations is, and that doesn't only mean making sure homework is done. Troy needs someones foot steps to follow in, so if Tyrell goes to school he will be giving Troy the motive to finish school and go to collage. But if that doesn't work out what will happen when their father gets out of jail, and is in charge of all activities and duties?
