LIFE

Firstly, I was a bit confused about blogging. From now on, I think that I should just look at Jason's blog, and if he has put up questions I'll answer those. Whether he asks questions once or twice a week I am still waiting to figure out. So here goes...

What I didn't answer to Fences:

- I have in the past perhaps built Fences up around who I am as a person, but overall I am an open person who is not afraid to show who I am. If I do build a fence however, it is normally to keep people in. I use the fence to hold those people whom I care about close to my heart. I am an emotional person. I am sensitive, and incredibly empathetic. I need people to care about, and I need people to care about me. Previously I fought to climb over the wall I build to keep my heart safe, but now that I've overcome that fence I am willing to risk vulnerability.

- Troy's character is someone I regard as searching. His sternness and unfaithfulness are not surprising when I understand that he is, even as an old man, trying to find himself within his own life. He is loyal to his wife, and he loves his son and his brother even if he does not have a good way to express his feelings.

- Rose is a strong woman. She married and settled down more out of necessity than out of love. She is loyal, faithful, and enduring, but that does not mean that she does not question her situation. Rose understands that the mind is powerful. She understands how to recognize the emotions her heart feels, and she understands how to use her mind to help her avoid hurting her family. I believe that she does what she feels is best for her husband, son, and Troy's brother. She manages the house for her husband, encourages her son to seek his dreams, and never refuses a meal and polite invitation to Gabe.

- I believe that I answered the final question in my last blog.

I hope this is good!
