MY OPINION ABOUT FORGIVENESS

 PROMPT RESPONSE

I do not think forgiving someone means you have to forget what they did. Forgiveness means choosing to let go of some of the anger and hurt instead of allowing it control you, but the memory of what happened can still remain. Remembering what happened can also help you learn from the situation and make better choices in the future. I think someone can forgive another person while still needing time to rebuild trust. 


SUMMARY

Forgiveness and forgetting are two different things. A person can forgive someone for their actions without pretending that the hurt never happened. Forgiveness can help someone move forward, while remembering the experience can help them understand what happened and avoid making the same mistakes again.


REFLECTION

I believe forgiveness is important because holding onto anger for a long time can make it harder to move forward. However, I don't think forgiving someone means you have to trust them exactly the same way as before. If someone has hurt or betrayed you, it may take time before you feel comfortable around them again. In Fences, the characters have to deal with painful memories while deciding how they want to move forward. This shows me that forgiveness can be personal choice, and it does not require forgetting the past.

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.
