of Troy Maxson, who is the head of the family in the play, makes a decision that cause not only Troy, but also the other characters to change their views and behaviors. Troy develops throughout Fences and becomes an almost completely different person by the end of the play. An initial portrayal of Troy is that he is a strong, defensive leader in his family. However, ultimately he becomes a less powerful and more vulnerable character. In the

revised, as in most of the world, it is illegal to abuse your child (or anyone, for that matter), as Tom Canty was describing in the story. A second example of this argument can be found on line 62 of page 315 from the myth “The Black Ships Before Troy” by Rosemary Sutcliff. This quote reads: “... until one day, the three jealous goddesses…”. These three jealous goddesses are Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite; so this is telling a tale similar to the Apple of Discord by Hovey. This is relevant because

problems when it came to her husband Troy Maxson. Troy Maxson, a African American who is hard-working, strong and prone to telling compelling, fanciful stories and twisting the truth. He was a former baseball star in the negro leagues that did not make it because he was too old to join the Negro League. Troy is the husband of Rose; father of Lyons, Cory and Raynell; brother of Gabriel. He had made mistakes in the past that greatly influenced his outlook on life. Troy said

“Fences” because there are two different generations portrayed in Troy and Cory. Troy plays the part of the protagonist who has been disillusioned throughout his life by everyone he has been close to. He was forced to leave home at an early age because his father beat him so dramatically. Troy never learned how to treat people close to him and he never gave any one a chance to prove themselves because he was selfish. This makes Troy the antagonist in the story because he is not only hitting up against

to themselves, to love, respect, and care for themselves. I believe that the characters in Fences are a very good representation of this; they feel the responsibilities to their families, but they still mess up. They are completely human, especially Troy.

In the late 1860s, a hodgepodge of Troy players (actually from North Troy which was then called Unionsburgh) barnstormed around the state. They kicked ass and won over 80% of their games. They went down to play the New York Mutuals, and the big city fans couldn’t believe that “we lost to a bunch of haymakers.” The name stuck and the Troy Haymakers joined the National Association in 1871. Their best player (and also a civil war vet) was player-manager Williams H. “Bill” Craver who played catcher.

Troy Farris was convicted in December 1983 for the death of 28 year–old Clark Murell Rosenbaum Jr., a Tarrant County deputy sheriff. Rosenbaum was shot twice in the chest after he had driven up on Farris and codefendants Vance Nation and Charles Lowder during a drug buy. However, the investigation and trial were conducted unprofessionally and with many errors. The crime scene was badly trampled by investigators. Sixty–three photographs of the sheriff’s patrol car disappeared. So did the plaster casts

Black Ships Before Troy by Rosemary Sutcliff retells Homer’s Iliad in a more palatable fashion without editing too much of a character’s personality. In Sutcliff’s version, Achilles is not the hero that the world pictures him as; Achilles was a narcissist with power, pride, and strength. His conceit added age to the Trojan War, and his stubbornness killed comrades as well as foes. Achilles is more human than hero. Briseis and all of the Greek army can attest to that. At the end of a battle,

Essay on August Wilson’s play Fences by Melanie Jung Troy does not want to accept the changes in the world because that would cause him to accept the death of his own dreams. After reading the play carefully it becomes pretty obvious to me that Troy, the main character in the play, a black African – American, father of two children, cannot accept the changes in the world. That is, in my opinion, the reason why he tries to fence in his family. Especially Cory, by
