Fences Act 1 Scene 1 Reading

 Today, we began our reading of "Fences" by August Wilson. I learned about the main characters in the story, the context, and the setting of the story. Troy Maxson the main character is a hard-working and vulgar man, whose married to a woman named Rose, and is best friends with a man named Bono. I liked that the story despite not being real, could've actually existed as it is in the context of a black family in the middle 20th century in America. Today, I'm feeling pretty busy, as I have to study for a math test and forensics test tomorrow.

The biggest difference in the year 2050 from now will not be the appearance of everything, but the way of life for everyone. Despite not looking much different, everything will look a somewhat upgraded.
