 Today we came back from break and we didn’t have too much work, we ended up reading this book named Fences which happened to be a play which is new to me. The book gave us the setting and context prior to the play, somewhat like a movie in my opinion. I was wondering if we were gonna read the play however we still had to narrate first which I chose to do because I don’t really like reading so I’d like to get it out of the way. I’d prefer narrator to because I wouldn’t have to put much effort into playing my character. Aside from that the title is kind of relatable, I like keeping fences since I don’t really like adding new people in my circle of close friends, it just is more trouble than it’s worth when more people have leverage on you and your life. So I just tend to not share my feelings, personal life and like my I guess myself to people I’m not close with.

That scene made the book feel much more relatable in my eyes as I can relate to his son as I too have avoided my life for the majority of it, except I’m not even sure why, but at a certain point in life, you need to face reality and decide whether your dreams are worth making your cur...
