During class‚ my group discussed how watching the film Fences changed our understanding for the play Fences. We discussed that throughout the movie‚ the dialogue flowed smoother compared to trying to understand and read it in play form.

I interpret this poem as a metaphor for life. Way too often we are in a hurry to get through the "dance" that we do not stop and enjoy the music. The small but beautiful things in life are the music. The rain‚ the sunsets‚ our children growing are all wonderful things that happen. Unfortunately‚ the majority of the time we are all in a hurry just to get through the day to make it another day to do the same thing.

She gives a description of him including his feet‚ shoes‚ clothing‚ and the emotion she perceives is on his face but for some reason doesn’t give an actual description of his face and body type‚ which I find strange.

White Oleander‚ a flower‚ a hearty-but-poisonous flower whose beauty makes it appear deceptively fragile. This flower‚ can stand has a metaphor for Ingrid. Ingrid is strong‚ beautiful‚ and self-possessed‚ but she acts as a poison to everyone around her‚ especially her impressionable daughter‚ Astrid‚ who idolizes her mother.
