 Writing prompt:  If my close friend told me they were secretly seeing someone else, I would tell them to confess to their partner. In fences ,  Troy hides his affair, and when the truth comes out, it breaks Rose’s trust and damages the whole family. This shows that secrets only cause more pain over time. Telling my friend to be honest shows real loyalty, helping them do what’s right instead of hiding their mistake. If I told their partner myself, I’d betray my friend, but if I stayed quiet, I’d be part of the lie. Encouraging them to confess gives them a chance to take responsibility and rebuild trust. It might hurt at first, but like in  Fences , the truth is the only way to prevent even deeper pain later. Summary: Today in class we continued to work on our character analysis project . Reflection: Today I learned more about rose's character and how misunderstood she was in the story.
