Fences Act I

At first I had a hard time reading the play because of all of the going back and fourth of the dialogue, just like I always do, but also because the people in the play speak poor English, but once I got into the play, I found it fairly easy to read, and found it to be interesting. I felt as though I could partially understand what Troy had been experiencing at work, even though his stories are exaggerated at times. I felt that Rose is a strong woman who doesn’t really care what Troy has to say about her thoughts, she is just going to speak her mind anyways, and isn’t afraid to stand up to Troy either. I feel as though Troy should have listened to Rose and his son when they asked him to sign papers when he was getting recruited for football because his son really does love to play, and this will give him a shot at going to college so he can earn a degree and get a good job one day, which is ultimately what his father wants for him.
