I think that this is the theme of Fences because throughout this whole play, people are living their life based on what others think they should do. Some people follow what others say, and others go their own way, and do what make them happy.
For example, Lyons asks his dad to loan him 10 dollars, and his dad says no at fist, because Lyons "doesn't have a real job" and Lyons responds with "You got your way of dealing with the world . . .
I got mine. The only thing that matters to me is
the music." This shows that Lyons isn't going to follow what others think he should do, and hes going to keep living life for himself.

Football and making his family proud is what is important to Cory. Football is important to Cory because he does everything he can to stay playing even though his dad refused. And he would do everything he could to make his dad like him and be proud of him.

post 7: The song Two of Us- Louis Tomlinson, is a song about his mom who passed away from cancer. The whole song is him talking about how he misses her and how he is going to honor her everyday, with every decision he makes. He is going to live his life in honor of her. This relates to Cory, because he just lost his dad. Even though they din't always see eye to eye, and they weren't always the nicest to each other, Troy is still Cory's dad, and Cory is always going to love and miss him.

It's been a minute since I called you
Just to hear the answerphone
Yeah, I know that you won't get this
But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone
This morning I woke up still dreaming
With memories playing through my head
You'll never know how much I miss you
The day that they took you, I wish it was me insteadBut you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade awaySo I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of usI could feel your blood run through me
You're written in my DNA
Looking back in every mirror
I know you'll be waiting, I'll see you againBut you once told me, "Don't give up
You can do it day by day"
And diamonds, they don't turn to dust or fade away (fade away)So I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of usI promised you I'd do this
So all of this is all for you
Oh, I swear to God you're living
Through everything I'll ever doSo I will keep you day and night, here until the day I die
I'll be living one life for the two of us
I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me
I'll be living one life for the two of us
Even when I'm on my own, I know I won't be alone
Tattooed on my heart are the words of your favorite song
I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be living one life for the two of usOne life for the two of us
I'll be living one life for the two of usWe'll end just like we started
Just you and me and no one else
I will hold you where my heart is
One life for the two of us

post 3: Hardworking: The quote below shows that not only does he excel in football, so much that he has a recruiter, but he also maintains good grades. That takes a lot of hard work, and determination.

"I get good grades, Pop. That’s why the recruiter
wants to talk with you. You got to keep up your
grades to get recruited. This way I’ll be going
to college. I’ll get a chance . . ."

post 4: I think that Cory's emotions and the way he acts in this situation is completely okay. He finally didn't hold in his emotions, and he let it all out. He is entitled to have his own feelings, and he is allowed to tell people how he feels. He shouldn't have to follow in his fathers foot steps, and he can pick his own path. I think his strength is the fact that he is stubborn just like his father, so he can hold his own when is a fight with him. I think his weakness is his kindness. He sometimes lets his kindness hurt him in the long run.

post 2: Rebellious: The quote below shows that I am rebellious, because no one ever stands up to Troy, and tells them what they feel. We are all scared of him, and I stepped up for the first time and let him know how we are all thinking.

''You ain’t never give me nothing! You ain’t never done nothing but hold me back. Afraid I was gonna be better than you. All you ever did was try and make me scared of you. I used to tremble every time you called my name. Every time I heard your footsteps in the house. Wondering all the time . . . what’s Papa gonna say if I do this? . . . What’s Papa gonna say if I turn on the radio? And Mama, too . . . she tries . . . but she’s scared of you."

post 1: Hi, I'm Cory Maxson! I live in a small poor town in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My fathers name is Troy, and my mothers name is Rose. I love football. I really want to go somewhere with it, and make it out of this poor town, so I can prove my father wrong. My father thinks that the world is against him, because of his skin color and his own father. My father doesn't like me, and for that reason I am petrified of him. I feel like I am walking on egg shells around him. There is nothing I want more in life, then to prove him wrong.
