Similar Families and Similar Struggles "Fences" and "The Piano Lesson" are two extraordinary works created by August Wilson. Throughout these two plays there is a constant struggle while at the same time these stories revolve around a similar theme or symbol.

My eyes grow wide with admiration as I gaze over the beauty of the majestic grand piano that rests upon the stage‚ begging to be played but wanting only a graceful touch. As my instructor nods her head‚ telling me to begin‚ I take one last deep breath in a futile effort to control my nerves. The breath does little to calm me‚ but then
