Differnt cultures have different customs surrounding food and eating. Describe a food-related custom you grew up with or have experienced. How dose this custom reflect your family’s values or cultural background?

 Something that would mess up the family’s background is eating with your mouth open. The reason I say this is because it is disrespectful and  nasty thing to do an in my family we were not taught that way. Another thing is praying before you eat. If you don’t it is a bad look in my family because you are always pose to the bless the food that has been served for you to eat.

Writing about an offensive encounter can bring up different emotions, even when the story is imagined. What emotions did you experience while writing your story? What part of the writing affected you the most, and why?

  This conversation made me think about how fairness and opportunity are not always equal for everyone. Troy’s experience shows how racial discrimination can make it harder for people to get the opportunities they deserve. If I were in Troy’s position, I would speak up about the unfair treatment, keep working hard, and try to find a way to create better opportunities for myself and others.

Now that we have finished reading Fences and you are completing your final project, reflect on your overall understanding of the play. Which character, conflict, or theme has stood out to you the most, and why? Explain how your project represents what you learned about the play.

  The character who stood out to me the most in Fences was Cory because of his conflict with his father, Troy. Cory wants to follow his dream of playing football, but Troy does not support him because of his own experiences with racism and discrimination. This shows how Troy’s past affects the way he treats his family. My project represents what I learned about the play because it shows the different conflicts between family members and how their choices can affect each other. Overall, Fences taught me that family relationships can be complicated, and sometimes people’s past experiences shape how they treat others.
