The Fence It was a warm summer afternoon on the Benton Homestead, close to the year of 2003. A group of friends and family decided to get together to ride the dirtbike track. However, today was a special day, for it was going to be one young man’s first ever chance to ride a dirtbike. This young man had rode his dirt bike in the yard with the safety of his father at his side a few times before, but nothing could prepare me for the gruesome incident that was about to take affect. It was a seemingly safe and fun day riding around, doing tricks, and showing off to each-other. All the adults were making their laps on the tracks hitting the big jumps, while the youngsters stayed off to the side for safety. I slid my feet down into my boots, …show more content…

Although my dad taught me the gas, and how to go forward, he hadn’t been there while I was trying to stop. I was confused and unsure of what to do as the bike kept lunging forward towards the eerie barbed-wire fence. I looked down to see what I could do but nothing stood out to my eyes. Immediately after that, I cried out for my dad who had no chance of hearing me over the loud roars of the dirt bikes. I swiftly whipped my head back around to look and see how close the end was for me. Thoughts were shooting through my head. Was this the end for me? Could it kill me? Maybe I can fly through it once the bike makes a stop. The front tire of the bike hit the bottom strand of the fence and rolled right over it. I rode farther into the fence until finally the bike was going slow enough that I fell over. However, when I fell, is when the real injuries started. The fence sliced through the bottom of my left arm, and made a small incision on my right arm as well. My head seemed to fall in slow motion as my neck slid right past the worst part of the fence, luckily only giving me one tiny cut along the front of my collar. I jumped up like a bolt of lightning and ran over to try and flag my dad down on the track. I fell down into the nasty manure ridden dirt. By the time that I managed to get back up, my uncle came rushing over to aid me with my wounds. Once we made it over to his

When we read books, we expect our main characters to be these gleaming representations of everything good about humanity. Certainly they may be flawed, but in the end they always win the final battle, or find true love, or save the world. Troy Maxson, main character of Fences, is one of the most tragically human main characters ever. He juggles dozens of sentiments and responsibilities. From his experience in the Negro League and discrimination, to running away from home and his prison time, to his life with Rose and his son Cory, Troy has learned some hard lessons, lessons that, as time goes on and become less true, he still feels responsible to his children to teach them.

We started descending down the hill at a rapid speed, fast and faster, going up and down over bumps. As we started going down I could feel myself almost standing because of the bar, great I could potentially die if I don 't follow the rules. Instead of just letting myself stand I forced myself in with my elbows in my hips and my hands on the bar pushing me down. When the ride stopped panic arose in my parents voices. “Morgan where are you !”

If I did run into the barn ,well let's just say the barn would get a fresh coat of guts. And I would be pretty injured. If I would’ve been more cautious or tried thinking before I started heading for the barn my parents would be more up for me riding on the four wheelers they wouldn’t have to worry about me making a dumb choice and start heading straight to the barn door. You always should make a smart choice and not put yourself in danger it just isn't a good idea. What you do today affects your tomorrow.

Elisa Berrelez Professor RaeAnn Vasquez ENGL 1302 19 March 2023 "Fences": Happy Husband Happy Life, Or Not Taking place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the 1950s, the play "Fences" strongly expresses several themes relating to the stereotypical ideas and behaviors society pointed towards women, concentrating more on African American women. When analyzing themes such as gender roles and norms, it's typical to utilize Feminist Theory and dissect the text while looking through a feminist lens. The purpose of using a feminist lens is to enable the discovery of how people interact within gender systems and possibly offer solutions to confront and eradicate oppressive systems and structures (Arinder). In the play, Rose acts as the primary,

Good fences create solid boundaries and leave no room for questions. If boundaries are clearly defined each person knows what is theirs and what is not. Responsibility for each person is shown with the boundaries. The fences eliminate questions of ownership. Have you ever wondered if Abraham Lincoln lived by this quote?

The title, "Fences" is important throughout the entire play since it is utilized as an image of misconception between the main characters. August Wilson utilizes the title to characterize the activities and character's practices. By controlling setting the Wilson typically portrays that the Maxson family are "trapped" in wanting to live the "American Dream" and with their current living circumstance they cannot do so. The incongruity of the circumstance is that "the fence" is translated as affection by the family. For example, Rose assumes that the fence around the house will spare her family and close relations, however, it is past the point where it is possible to spare her marriage with Troy.
