 We continued reading Fences and are introduced two new characters; Cory and Gabriel. Cory is the son of Rose and Troy and he is kind of disobedient because he talks back and doesn’t do his chores. I see where he’s coming from though because he’s a good football player with good grades and a recruiter is trying to recruit him but his dad is being stubborn. And we also learn that Troy was promoted to garbage driver and his main concern was Cory not being able to make it because of his race, but if he’s able to climb the ranks then he should also give his son a chance to do the same. We also learn that Gabriel had a near death experience from serving in war so he has some mental illness; Troy would get money monthly due to this but since he moved out it’s been harder to paid the bills.
