Today in Mr.Rease’s American literature class we read Fences again. We were introduced to Gabriel and Cory. Gabriel is Troy’s brother who is mentally ill. He had a metal plate put into his head in the Military. He always says he chasing the “Hellhounds”. Cory plays football and doesn’t want to work at the A&P like his dad says. I like the play so far
