Prompt: At the end of Fences, forgiveness becomes an important part of the characters moving forward. Do you think forgiving someone means you also have to forget what they did? Why or why not? Connect your response to your own experiences or observations.

 Prompt: I don't think that forgiveness is a requirement or that you have to forget about what they did. It is important to recognize someones destructive patterns so you don't get hurt continuously. I have applied this to my life mostly with friends who clearly haven't figured themselves out yet.

Summary: We worked on our projects and started to get ready to end the books. 

Reflection: I like the project it's a lot better than previous ones in American Lit.
