Fences and A Raisin in the Sun have very similar themes and ideas. Both stories are about black families in the 1950's. They both have struggles within their families. Fences deals more with with family, love, and betrayal. On the other hand,  A Raisin in the Sun deals with race issues that were going on at the time for the family. There are more characters in A Raisin in the Sun like Mama and Benetha. The fathers in these stories are very different, Troy in Fences is very strict especially with his son Cory, but Walter in A Raisin in the Sun is very easy going with his son Travis.

I believe that the theme of Fences is family. "It’s my responsibility! You understand that? A man got to take care of his family. You live in my house . . . sleep you behind on my bedclothes . . . fill you belly up with my food . . . cause you my son. You my flesh and blood. Not cause I like you! Cause it’s my duty to take care of you!" This is a quote from Rose's husband Troy. He explaining how he has to take care of his family and how important it is for him to feed them and put clothes on their back.

I believe that the main theme in A Raisin in the Sun is having a dream and ambition. "Just tell me where you want to go to school and you’ll go. Just tell me, what it is you want to be – and you’ll be it….Whatever you want to be – Yessir! (He holds his arms open for TRAVIS) You just name it, son… (TRAVIS leaps into them) and I hand you the world!"(Act II, scene ii) Walter explains to Travis that he can be anything he wants to be if he puts his mind to it.

The poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou relates to Rose because after being betrayed by her husband, she goes on to take care of his kid without him and create a good life for her and her new daughter.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies, You may tread me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still, I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard?
Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

This is a Man's Man's Man's World Lyrics

# data[].attributes.body
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a
girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world

girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a
girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H77fRz1rybs I chose "This is a Man's Man's Man's World" by The Residents because it talks about how the world would be nothing if it weren't for women. I think that really portrays Rose because she did all the dirty work in the house like cooking, cleaning, and raising the kids that she had.

This photo really portrays Rose because she is a very strong woman who has been through a lot, but was able to overcome all of it.

I do sympathize with Rose because she did so much for her husband and her son just to get cheated on. Her husband Troy had and affair with another woman and got her pregnant. Rose does not deserve this because all she did was love Troy. Rose is not one to let her husband walk all over her thought, she will she will always call Troy out on his crap. She does stay with him though because that is her source of income.

This quote from Rose was when Troy tells her about the affair. She is explaining to him that although she has felt stuck too, she hasn't gone off with someone else to fulfill her needs. This shows how loyal she really was to Troy.

"I been standing with you! I been right here with you, Troy. I got a life too. I gave eighteen years of my life to stand in the same spot with you. Don’t you think I ever wanted other things? Don’t you think I had dreams and hopes? . . . Don’t you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? . . . But I held on to you, Troy. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams . . . and I buried them inside you."

Rose is a very compassionate person and loyal to her husband Troy.
