Fences Act 1 Scenes 2 and 3

Act 1, Scene 2:

How does Rose’s role as a wife and mother reflect societal expectations of women, particularly African American women, in the 1950s, and how does her sense of duty impact her relationship with Troy?

Rose's role as a mother is reflected by how it is always seen as her doing all the chores around the house, and this is not just limited to her, but to all women back then.

 Act 1, Scene 3:

In what ways do Troy’s interaction with Corey reveals the complexities of masculinity and fatherhood in African American culture, and how does his past shape his expectations of manhood?

Troy's interaction with Corey is a tough one as Troy is trying to balance his masculinity and fatherhood at the same time, which gets tough for him as he is trying to be a loving father, but also trying to teach him lessons about masculinity.

How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.

Prompt response: As I have grown older, I realize now that the holidays have really changed much with me. Just like Christmas, when I was really young, I would always wish to Santa like many people did, but at somepoint we all find out that santa isnt real and that just happens in life. I appreciate Christmas just as much as I did when I was a kid, as it is a time for gift giving and joy for the whole family. Summary: Today, we as a class all watched the movie The Color Purple and compared both the book and the film's scenes to see the difference. Reflection: I now know that all holidays we celebrate grow with us, and I find that to be great, as it shows that even at anytime or age you can still enjoy holidays.

Write about your most special holiday memory.

 The most special holiday memory was when it was the year 2014, I remember that there was going to be 2 to 2 1/2 inches of snowfall and that had me pretty excited as it never really snowed in Georgia. What did we do today? We didn't do much all we had to do was read chapters 6-7 of A Lesson Before Dying and answer questions related to the book. What do I have to reflect on? Im not sure what to reflect on there hasn't been much to reflect on since I've been studying for finals but hopefully I can pass them all.
