HOW TRUST CAN OR CANNOT BE REBUILT

 PROMPT RESPONSE

Yes, I think one major lie or betrayal can permanently change the way you see someone, especially if you trusted that person for many years. When someone breaks your trust, it can make you question other things they have said or done in the past. Even if you still care about the person, the relationship may not feel the same because the trust you had before has been damaged. However, I believe trust can sometimes be rebuilt if the person takes responsibility, honestly apologizes, and consistently shows through their actions that they are willing to change. Rebuilding trust takes time, and the person who was hurt should not be expected to trust again immediately.


SUMMARY

A major lie or betrayal can have a lasting effect on a relationship because trust is an important part of feeling safe and respected by someone. In Fences, Troy's revelation changes Rose's feelings toward him because she feels betrayed after years of marriage. Although relationships can sometimes survive mistakes, rebuilding trust requires honesty, patience, communication, and consistent actions. Saying sorry is important, but actions over time are what can help prove that someone is truly trustworthy again.


REFLECTION

I believe trust is something that takes a long time to build but can be damaged very quickly. If someone I trusted betrayed me, I would probably need time before I could feel comfortable trusting them the same way again. I think forgiveness and trust are also different because you can forgive someone without immediately trusting them again. Like Rose, a person may still care about someone while also feel hurt and disappointed by their actions. This makes me understand why Troy's betrayal has such a major effect on his relationship with Rose.

TROY'S COMPLAINT ABOUT THE UNFAIR JOB SYSTEM

 PROMPT RESPONSE Troy's conversation made me think about how important fairness and equal opportunities are in society. In Fences, Troy explains how racial discrimination affected his opportunities at work and made it harder for him to move forward. If I were in Troy's position, I would try to speak up about the unfair treatment and explain why I believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to succeed. I would also try to stay focused on improving my situation instead of allowing unfair treatment to stop me from working toward my goals. SUMMARY Troy's experience shows how discrimination can create barriers for people who are trying to build better lives for themselves and their families. His frustration comes from feeling that people were being treated differently because of their race rather than being judged fairly based on their abilities. The conversation shows that having an opportunity is important because people should be able to work hard and have a fair chance...

SOMETHING THAT INFLUENCED MY DECISION AND HOW I CHANGED MY MIND

 PROMPT RESPONSE  Yes, I have had to choose between something I wanted and something I needed to do. For example, sometimes I want to relax or spend time on my phone, but I need to finish my schoolwork first. I choose to do my schoolwork because my responsibilities are important. SUMMARY Sometimes we have to put our responsibilities before the things we want. Making the right choice can mean giving up something fun for something more important. REFLECTION I think choosing what I need over what I want can be difficult, but it usually helps me in the long run. I was satisfied with my choice because finishing my responsibilities made me feel less stressed and allowed me to enjoy my free time afterward.

HOW PARENTS SHOULD REACT TOWARDS OR LOOK AFTER THEIR CHILDREN

 PROMPT I think parents should both love and like their children. Loving someone means caring about them and wanting what is best for them, while liking someone means enjoying their personality and wanting to spend time with them. I agree with Troy that parents should provide and take care of their children, but I also think children need emotional support and affection. SUMMARY Troy shows his love by providing for Cory, but he does not always show affection or understanding. Parents should provide for their children while also making them feel loved and supported. REFLECTION I believe children need more than food, clothes, and a home. They also need encouragement, attention, and someone they can talk to. A parent does not have to agree with everything their child does, but showing love and support can help build a stronger relationship.
