August Wilson explores several interconnected themes in “Fences” including:

• family commitments
• sports (baseball, football)
• racism
• money
• death

Choose one of these themes and write a 1-2 page reflection on it by analyzing (not summarizing) Act I of “Fences.” Feel free to build on comments from the Graded Discussion this week; be sure, though, not to simply repeat them. Feel free to use “I” in your reflection. Include 2-3 brief quotes from the play to support your analysis. Be sure to proofread carefully before submitting.
