For this discussion, you will respond to the "Guide to Fences." For our purposes, we will concern ourselves with the following 3 categories: Part I–The Play "Wilson Play Like Listening to the Blues" "Fences Extended Family" "Wilson Introduction to Fences" "Synopsis and Setting" Part II–The Playwright "August Wilson–A Short Biography" The Pittsburgh Cycle "August Wilson`s Century–The Ten Play Cycle" Part IV–Context for the Play "History of 1959" "In Another League" "Wilson, In His Own Words" Respond to information, ideas, photographs, or anything you find particularly interesting or significant from each part of the guide you were asked to read (see above). Do not simply summarize what the text shares. Use specific quotes from the text and respond to the information with your own thoughts, feelings and questions, or connections. Organize your ideas into 3 paragraphs. Therefore, you will respond to "The Play" in one paragraph, "The Playwright" in another, and "The Context for the Play" in yet another.
