Description

Writing Assignment #9 (page 81- page 142) (due Thursday, 11/13, at 11pm in your shared English 101 Google Doc): “Some people build fences to keep people out… and other people build fences to keep people in. Rose wants to hold on to you all. She loves you” (Wilson 84). As stated in the epigraph above, Bono tells Troy that sometimes people build fences to keep people in and infers Rose wants a fence to “hold on to” her family. Putting yourself in Rose’s shoes, explain what you would do in 300+ or more words.  You must consider the following things as you give your response:  In your own words & using only your ideas, why is the building of a fence important for keeping a family safe? What would you do if Troy revealed the things he did to “you” in Act Two? Would you forgive him? Why or why not? In what way(s) would you, as Rose, try handle the relationship – assuming you had all the options available? How would you respond to Troy? Would you do anything different from what happens in Act Two between Rose and Troy? Would you accept Raynell the way Rose does in Act Two? Why or why not? Please use one or more quotes from Act Two, Scene Two, Three, or Four to reference a specific line or passage, and to give support. Please cite the page you get the page number of the quote.
