Prompt: What would you do: tell your friend to confess, tell their partner yourself, or stay quiet? Explain your choice, using ideas about loyalty and consequences from Fences. How might your decision affect everyone involved?

 If i were to be in this situation i would definitely tell my friend to be honest. I say this because of the betrayal to their significant other is simply not right, yet i wouldn't tell their partner because thats not my place. It would make me wonder if someone is capable of lying, being disloyal, and able to betray someone they claim they “love” so easily, what would they do to me? Would it be worse? I think my decision of highly recommended my friend to be honest would be good on my side because of the influence i may carry. As well as simple humanity. As for the significant other, i think they will feel appreciative on my end yet still hurt. If this said friend decided to not be honest  i would simply distance myself more and more.

Prompt: At the end of the novel, Celie reconnects with Nettie and forms more peaceful relationships with the people who once harmed her. Reflect on the theme of reconciliation. Have you ever restored a relationship, forgiven someone, or been forgiven in a way that changed you? How does the novel’s ending shape your understanding of forgiveness across different cultures or families?

Given me and my significant other go through things, there has been plenty of times where we have both got into and apologized. Each time it feels as if we get stronger and stronger. All of these disagreements teach me something new lesson wise. The novel showed me that forgiving doesn't always end in getting backstabbed again and that sometimes its ok to let your guard down for a better outcome in the future.
