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 my friend told me they were cheating and asked me to keep it secret, I would tell them to be honest with their partner. In Fences, Troy’s secret hurt his family a lot because he didn’t tell the truth. Being loyal means helping my friend do the right thing, not hiding their mistakes. If I stay quiet, it could cause more pain later. If I tell their partner myself, I might lose my friend’s trust. So, I would want my friend to confess first. The truth may be hard, but it helps everyone heal, like in Fences.

summary: I would tell their friend to be honest with their partner instead of keeping the secret. I used Fences to show how hiding the truth can cause more pain in the long run.

Reflection: This shows that loyalty means encouraging honesty, even when it’s difficult. Keeping secrets may protect feelings temporarily, but often leads to bigger problems later.

I learned it's important to speak up when someone’s words hurt. Reflection: I liked this assignment because it allowed me to reflect on my early memories
