Troy’s revelation changes his relationship with Rose. Do you think one major lie or betrayal can permanently change how you see someone, even if you have known and trusted that person for years? Explain your reasoning and how trust can or cannot be rebuilt.

 Prompt: Troy’s revelation changes his relationship with Rose. Do you think one major lie or betrayal can permanently change how you see someone, even if you have known and trusted that person for years? Explain your reasoning and how trust can or cannot be rebuilt.

Prompt Response: A precious connection that has been built up for years can be broken by one major lie or betrayal. Imagine exposing your vunerability, like your emotions and struggles, throughout the years, possbily percieving them as your personal confidant, only for them to betray you. As they preferred to neglect honesty in your friendship. This can cause major trust issues for the victim in the future because of what you've done to their brain and heart. Friendship should never because of someone's cruel action. 

Summary: In class, we read "Fences" by August Wilson and watched a clip from the movie. 

Reflection: While reading, I was captivated by how Bono was defending Rose's character from Troy. Bono disagreed with Troy and held his friend accountable for what he did to such a good person. As he knew that Troy should not cheat on his kind and loving wife. It made me realize that in present day, male circles are very disrespectful when they talk to women. Friends should hold each other accountable for how they talk about women instead of being quiet or normalizing subtle misogyny in their friend groups.

Judith Ortiz Cofer says, “The Island travels with you.” What part of your culture, family, or identity do you feel “travels” with you everywhere you go?

 Prompt: Judith Ortiz Cofer says, “The Island travels with you.” What part of your culture, family, or identity do you feel “travels” with you everywhere you go? Prompt Response: A part of my identity that "travels" with me wherever I go is the language of my culture. Whenever I go out, I can switch between languages to my necessity. I can translate something to my mother from English to Spanish. I can speak to Spanish speakers in their language and ask questions. But Spanish is especially important to me, as it can allow me to talk to my family members. For example, my grandmother cannot speak English. So, I like that I am able to communicate with her in phone calls about my day, what I'm doing, and ask her questions about what's happening in her life. Summary: In class, we had to read "The Danger of a Single Story" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Reflection: She made me realize that British and American stories are more widely available worldwide, while Afric...

 Prompt: Now that we have finished reading Fences and you are completing your final project, reflect on your overall understanding of the play. Which character, conflict, or theme has stood out to you the most, and why? Explain how your project represents what you learned about the play. Prompt Response: The conflict that stood out to me the most was between Cory and Troy. As Troy and Cory both had similar wants. Troy wanted to play baseball and play in the major leagues. While Cory wanted to play football and have a successful future. But, due to Troy’s bitterness, Cory could never fulfill his dream because his father sabotaged his future. Troy did not try to understand his wrong doing as didn’t he feel the same thing when he used to play his favorite sport? I was very immersed, it relates to my project, as my project about items in the trash, I show that Troy and Cory go hand in hand. As from what I learned from the play, I made sure to include their favorite sports and show thei...
