Comparing Chopin and Wilson by Shelby https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences Showing the similarities in "Fences" by August Wilson and "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin en-us 2019-01-09 18:28:52 UTC 2023-07-26 08:55:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png Similar Themes shelbylew09 https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318951209 While reading both of these books, we've noticed that both of these novels share similar themes
The themes are:
-Dreams/Hope
Both Edna and Tony share this theme and it's an everlasting one within the novels. In Fences, Tony wants to become a baseball player but due to his race, he can't become one. In the Awakening, Edna wants to be free from her relationship but can't because she's worried about what society would think of her. Both of them have hopes and dreams that can't be fulfilled. 
-Betrayal
This is another theme in the books. In Fences, Troy cheats on his wife and ends up getting the other woman pregnant. In Awakening, Edna cheats on her husband and feels more empowered.]]> 2019-01-09 18:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318951209 Women Suffrage alicianikkol https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318959000 Women suffrage was the struggle of women rights to vote and have the desire to have freedom when dealing with reject to the social convention and family obligation.]]> 2019-01-09 19:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318959000 alicianikkol https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318964153 2019-01-09 19:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318964153 Kate Chopin shelbylew09 https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318964326 Author of the Awakening]]> 2019-01-09 19:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318964326 August Wilson shelbylew09 https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318965093 Author of Fences]]> 2019-01-09 19:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318965093 Racial Discrimination sparkleshinez_yay https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318965647 Racial Discrimination is when a person is treated unfavorably or less than any other person because of their skin color.]]> 2019-01-09 19:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/318965647 Separate but qual in the 1950s sparkleshinez_yay https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319749888 2019-01-11 16:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319749888 Link regarding the time period of Women oppression in 1850s - 1900s lyshadesigns6406 https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319809404 2019-01-11 18:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319809404 African-American History Timeline: 1950 to 1959 alicianikkol https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319809558 2019-01-11 18:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319809558 Racial Injustice Timeline sparkleshinez_yay https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319810734 2019-01-11 18:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319810734 Connections to other books shelbylew09 https://padlet.com/shelbylew09/awakening_fences/wish/319814479 - Greenbook
