    I have been involved in the Hardin County Fair since the age of 2 when I started entering projects through Goo Crew.

    The State Fair of Texas, full of fried foods, car shows, live entertainment, and plenty of rides and games, was back in town in Dallas, Texas. Spanning from September 25th to October 18th, this was the fair’s 129th year to be alive and thriving.

The major point of misunderstanding and crack in the brothers relationship is when Sonny admits to his ambitions of wanting a career as a jazz musician. The narrator's replies of “I just don't altogether get it” frays their already damaged relationship. This can be traced back to the conversation with the mother. Sonny did not need someone to fix his suffering for him, he needed someone to be there, to listen and support.…
