poem‚ “Fences‚” Troy is someone who doesn’t care what anyone says about him. He’s his own person and he likes to be open about his problems.

Helen Keller had so many obstacles throughout her life. She was blind and deaf. Still‚ she continued to live as normal of a life as she could. Keller made the most out of what she was dealing with.
