It was near dark when William walked into the farmhouse. He said hello to Mary, filled a rocks glass with ice, and walked to his office on the second floor. He closed the blinds in the window before booting up his computer. Mary banned personal electronic devices on Blue Hills. Not that it mattered; there hadn’t been cellular service or Wi-Fi hotspots on the estate for many years. William didn’t want anyone to see the familiar blue glow of a computer monitor through his office windows, lest he be called a hypocrite. He poured himself three fingers of Jim Beam from a bottle in his bottom desk drawer and waited for the computer to boot up. He clicked a link to a secure satellite uplink and waited for access. The Movement no longer required facial recognition, biometric, and audio scans.

We need to root out every evil on this estate.” “Alright, look, I have no objection to some firm rebukes during your community notes, but I’m not going to limit access to Redwood. The farmhands look forward to those visits. It’s the only place they have to barter or buy new provisions.” “Fine, but I will be monitoring this carefully. Our women need to be fruitful and multiply – praise be to God,” Mary said, looking up at the ceiling. “There’s something else I have in mind.” “What?” “It’s time for us to build a stockade?” “What, like a fence? Where do we need a new fence?” “No, not a fence. A stockade, like the kind you used to pose in for pictures at Sturbridge Village. But we need a real one, one that locks around peoples’ wrists and neck.” “You’re kidding, right?” William asked. “What the hell do you need that
' Mary's heart was already with god and conventional values were not going to keep her a way from the life he had chosen for her.' (Mary MacKillop A tribute, 1995)
The idea of a fence is simple. We set up a border with the hope that we can keep things about. The same idea even transferred over to August Wilson “Fences” as we see the main character Troy try to build a fence around his yard to keep what he loves in and what’s not needed out. Although this is the standard use of a fence what was the main metaphor of Fences that kept the storyline going?

In addition, she had built a comfortable environment with Dr. Stone who later realizes that he has been in love with her for the past seven years of her service (Verghese p. 42, 2009). Matron knows that Sister Mary Joseph Praise is pregnant, but tries to find another cause of her excessive bleeding and comatose state due to her social status as a nun (Verghese p. 46, 2009). The birth of a child would be a miracle in most situations, but the finding of Sister Mary Joseph’s pregnancy is described as “sacrilegious” from not partaking in the nun’s duty of celibacy (Verghese p. 47, 2009). Due to the strong social support that Sister Mary Joseph Praise felt, she was more inclined to stray away from a life of celibacy. With proper contraception, Mary would have a much lower chance of getting pregnant, altering her behavioral determinant of health that lead to her

Using uncertainty and stating how the men are meant to know knowledge but women should not even think without consulting the men. She demonstrates this by stating passages from books but not stating which book those passages came from, but a man would know because he is knowledgeable and reads a lot. Also by stating how she is devoted to God and how His opinion and acceptance of her is all that matters shows that the only goal of her life is to be obedient to God and his companions.
It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby!” (Gilman 3).

Whitehead talks about how Americans are so caught up with the idea of the internet making our lives easier that no one thinks about what the government could be doing with all the information that technology is allowing them to acquire.

Have you ever built a "fence" to keep things in? How about to actually build a fence to keep things out? August Wilson's play "Fences" uses the name as both a metaphorical and physical reference.
