Hi I'm Gonna Dump Here My Thoughts About Connor And His Parents And Specifically The Song "To Break In

Hi I'm gonna dump here my thoughts about connor and his parents and specifically the song "To Break In a Glove" because I've analyzed them a bit and find the murphy family very interesting

Im upset they removed To Break In a Glove from the movie. It's an important song. Not because Larry and Evan bond. But because it shows kind of Larry's perspective on connor and what he thought, all through metaphors with something Larry likes, Baseball. It seems like Larry had tried once to bond with Connor, but he never asked connor what he wanted To do. Connor wasn't interested in Baseball, this wasn't something that interested him. These lyrics make it clear what this song is about (more yapping below)

I think Larry has the mindset of trying one thing and sticking to it no matter what, thinking that that one thing is the right thing. Even when it came to his son. He wanted Connor to stick to one thing to try and get better.

On a simular note, something i think is interesting, Cynthia is the opposite. She trys everything possible to help her son. She doesn't stop at one thing. Cynthia and Larry are very opposite which interests me. Larry is very distance with his kids and is in the "one solution, you need to stick to it" mindset and almost seems like he gave up on connor. While Cynthia cares so much about her kids. More Connor then Zoe it seems sometimes. She tries everything she can think of to help connor. But the flaw with both of them is that neither of them asked connor. They didn't actually know connor and know what he needed or wanted and I think that's most important. They tried to help him but never actually took his thoughts and feelings into consideration.

I just think the Murphys have a very interesting dynamic and I think they had a very complicated relationship. Connors parents definitely weren't the best and I have more points on that but that's a topic for another time
