Coon spoke about his life and experiences at BOCES.

At the point of Alberta’s death, Troy was at a point of desperation and needed someone to act as mother to his child, luckily for him Rose obliged but she told him “you are a motherless man” (2.3.28-29). Knowing Troy and his baseball analogies he could have come up with something like “You came in for relief already why don’t you just close the deal and get back with me?” As the relief and closer aspects of the analogy represent relief and closer pitchers in baseball. With this situation in mind, Rose came in for relief for Raynell after her death and by getting back with Troy she would have closed the deal. Though Rose’s strength and independence as a woman is shown when she decides to take care of Raynell even with Troy’s infidelity but is wise enough to know that she does not need to get back with Troy because he has simply gone too far with his
Many modernists were inspired by the Civil War, WWI, and the Great Depression to introduce a new theme into literature. This theme consisted of the stream of conscious, and hopelessness. A short piece that has both of these themes is “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall,” by Katherine Ann Porter. Porter’s short story compared to many other modernistic pieces during the modernist time period. A terrific comparison to this story is the story “Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner, which also has both the stream of conscious and hopelessness as themes.
He wasn’t loyal to her for as long as their marriage stood, not only was there infidelity but a child was brought from Troy sleeping with other women. In the end, he had the audacity to come to Rose to raise another woman’s child. Troy had an incredibly high expectancy standard for how Rose should be.

Mike Rose took an admission test to find out where he would be placed in the school system, there was another child with the last name Rose. Apparently this other child had done poorly on his admissions test, being placed in a vocational school. While the author Rose had done well enough to get into a standard school.

After Ted visits the house in order to collect the divorce papers, Rose finds out about his new lover and she feels completely devastated. This new emotion leads something to click inside her head and, as she described, “And then for the first time in months, after being in limbo all that time, everything stopped” (Tan, pg. 194). Something inside Rose changes and she finally allows herself to challenge her husband.

Rose is a housewife. She doesn’t work but cooks and takes care of her family. In the play Rose is a role model and with that she has to sacrifice some things. Fences states “Rose: I took all my feelings, my wants. and needs, my dreams…
Even though she suffered from the beginning to the end of the play where her husband dies, Rose is proven to be very strong and takes charge of her family even with the death of her husband. She mends everything together just like the fence symbolizes in her family. She does not allow her family to be disrupted no matter what. Even though Troy is bold enough to open up to his wife about his secret affair, Rose keeps her cool. Despite all that, she does not see it as an opportunity for her to get her revenge.
Although Rose disagrees with Troy from time to time she shows unconditional love and tries to be understanding. However, later in the play Troy betrays her by being unfaithful and this makes rose put up her own fence. She tries to communicate with troy but is also very cautious because she knows how much he hurt her and would most likely not hesitate to do it again. Rose wants to keep the marriage between them because they have been together for so long and it is her only source of shelter.
To avoid feeling guilty from slavery whites said blacks were bad and began to oppress them. They did this through segregating them, watching their every move, and putting them in positions to commit crimes. Bigger is frustrated because he is not allowed to do anything because he is black. " When Bigger goes out onto the street he sees a poster for Buckley's campaign: “IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU CAN'T WIN!” And, as Bigger knows, if you don’t break it, you keep losing.
Like Troy’s attitude towards Cory, Rose’s attitude towards Troy is also a postmodern reflection of the play. Rose found out about the affair Troy was having with Alberta. When she knows that Alberta died during giving birth to Troy’s baby, Rose decided that she would raise that baby as her own but she would not be Troy’s wife anymore. Rose’s decision cannot be stated as right or wrong. Her morals were her own and not set by the society.
Change can hinder people because not everyone can accept what the future has to offer, for example, older people find it harder to accept help from others, and adapting can make them feel uneasy about their life in the future. In “A Rose for Emily”, change is seen throughout the story as well as the first element which is character. In the story, Miss Emily has been depicted as a strange, older woman who has never been married and cares for her father. Once her father passes, Miss Emily cannot grasp how to live on in her life because someone important to her is no longer with her.
