Kenny Rogers
Must you always fight to be a man? In the song Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers a young man lives by his father’s words of “you don't have to fight to be a man.” The first conflict of the story involves the young man’s father dying behind bars.
The young man’s father died in prison when he was 10 years old. Before he died he told his son that he does not need to fight to be a man. The young man was named Tommy, but folks just called him yellow. Tommy was called yellow because he never stood up for what he believed him, nor did he ever fight for anything. This paragraph demonstrates how by living by his father's words it makes him seem like a coward.
Tommy met a woman named Becky whom he fell in love with.
