       “ Act well your part; there all honor lies.”- Alexander Pope

This quote by Alexander Pope is a lesson that we all should be learning about. He states to act well for you part. Meaning to choose the right and doing the right thing. Therefore, you will be consider as honorable. Your honor will lie there within you. For example, once a little league baseball team won the U.S champions. Everyone, including the the president was all very honor and they were very proud of them. However, one day, they discovered that this little league champions cheated./ They decided to bring other players from another team to play with this team. That is against the rules. Yet they still managed to do it. After the everyone found out, they were going to lose their title and second place title. This example shows how this team did not act well on their part, therefore, they were no more honored. They didn’t have the integrity to confess up. Another example is when someone cheats on the test from another student and got a good grade. This person felt extremely bad, therefore, he went to see the teacher and told the teacher the whole truth. This shows how he did the wrong thing at first, however, he did the right thing where he was honest and told the teacher the truth. This took integrity. This student acted well on his part, so his honor will lie within him. When people do good, they feel good. You will be honored. This is what Pope’s quote was trying to tell us.
