A quote that very well represents this is on page6 when the narrator said"then she handed me the balloon." This quote means that when Nia hands bobby the balloon to represent her giving him her virginity and her virginity represents her childhood being striped from her by bobby. And in response to Bobby taking away Nia's childhood Nia takes away his childhood because she expects Bobby to make sacrifices for Feather.

Bobby wears a greenish brown newsboy cap over his dirty blond hair, and has a scruffy unkempt beard. Already an unshaven face indicates that he isn’t wealthy as he doesn’t have the resources to keep up his appearance. He has brown work boots and wears button up coveralls with the UCG insignia on them similar to Miss Pennywise, though the coveralls that he wears are a dingier blue and stained on the front of his chest and knees.

The dingy blue coveralls also convey Bobby’s mental state, as before he meets Hope he is lost and upset with the poor situation he and the people around him are in and the recent loss of his father being sent away to Urinetown. His depressed state changes, however, when he leads a revolution against Mr. Cladwell, and his clothes change with this new burst of confidence. During the number “Look at the Sky” he throws off his hat, and by the “Act One Finale” song he has forgone the coveralls entirely. Instead he wears a grey shirt with a button up V-neck and the long sleeves rolled up to his elbows, grey jeans, and bright red suspenders. With this set of clothes, his confidence is shown through the red color,

Every time that Bobby would walk by Just Frank on the street, Just Frank would ask if Bobby was "being a man" (Johnson 7). A true man would give up his wants to help someone in need. When Just Frank died trying to save a girl in an ally, he was symbolizing a hero.

Just Frank could have been trying to get Bobby to try to mature so that he could be a hero to Feather, his daughter, who was a result of his poor choices.
