My character is Rose from the movie Fences. Rose is a very kind, caring, nurturing and loving person. Just like the flower does. She is also a forgiving person and is an amazing mother to her son, her step-daughter and step-son. She hopes for a future and her dream is to build a fence to keep people in and to keep some people out. She is also a very religious person and loves helping out in the church.

Religious

Quote: "Jesus, be a fence all around me every day Jesus, I want you to protect me as I travel on my way. Jesus, be a fence all around me every day."

Explanation: Rose is very religious and is a helper at the church and believes in god. She talks about how she wants Jesus to be a fence and that is why her dream is to build a fence around her house. She wants to help other people and also wants to be protected. This is one of her character traits which make her a great person in the movie.

Yes, I do sympathize with the character because I think Rose is a positive role model and a great mom. I do not think most moms would take care of the moms child that her husband cheated on with. This makes her have warm heart and a loving person.

Strengths:

She stands up for herself even when her husband is mean to her.

She is a strong women

Very responsible

Great caring parent

Weaknesses:

She still managed to stay with Troy after he cheated on her.

Is too nice when she is treated bad sometimes.

I chose a rose to relate to the character. Roses are beautiful, represent love and forgiveness. Rose was very forgiving at one part in the movie and this rose is like her. She is also a loving mother to her family and shows them so much love and care.

"The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong."

Explanation: This poem relates to my character because she is also a mother. She is the one who keeps the house together and the family strong even though at the end of the movie it falls apart after her husband cheats on her.

Theme: Racism

Situation: Troy is mad because he does not understand why on white people can drive the trash trunk and colored have to pick up and throw trash into the truck.

Explanation: Troy is mad because he doesn't understand why colored people cant drive the truck instead of grabbing the cans in the back and dumping them in the truck. They where not able to drive the trunk and that made him very frustrated.

Similar: "Fences" and "A Raisin In the Sun" both are very similar in a few ways. Both plays have the same theme which is Racism. In "Fences" Troy wasn't able to drive the trash truck because he was colored and he was only able to be in the back of truck and pick the trash up and throw it in the truck. In "A Raisin In the Sun", when Mama had bought a house in a new neighborhood, they were given an offer that they will get money if they do not move to the new house. They were the only colored to move in the neighborhood and the white people would not like if they moved which is very racist.

Different:The two plays are also different in some ways. For example, In fences

Kendrick Lamar- Love Damn,
love or lust
Damn, all of us

Give me a run for my money
There is nobody, no one to outrun me

So give me a run for my money
Sipping bubbly, feeling lovely, living lovely
Just love me
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you, ayy, I wanna be with
I wanna be with you

If I didn't ride blade on curb, would you still (love me)
If I made up my mind at work, would you still (love me)
Keep it a hundred, I’d rather you trust me than to (love me)
Keep it a whole one hund', don't got you I got nothing

Ay, I got something (I got something)
Hol’ up, we gon' function, no assumptions
Feeling like Tyson wit' it, knock it out twice
I'm with it, only for the night, I'm kidding
Only for life, yeah, only for life, yeah
Only for…

This song relates to my character Rose in many ways. In the song, Love Kendrick talks about how bad he wants to be with someone and he asks if he would do something would the person still love him. He also asks to just love him and that is exactly what Rose anted. She just wanted to be loved by her husband and have happy family but it ended up getting destroyed when Troy cheated on her. He also says "keep it one hundred" and that means to be true and honest and Troy didn't tell her right away when he cheated which made her very upset,
