My thoughts on the book are a bit cloudy, I'm not sure what to think, I don't like nor do I dislike it. It's just not my kind of book and it didn't really catch me as a reader, but I
JIn Ericsson¶s essay The Ways We Lie, she writes 9 descriptions and examples of lies weall encounter every single day. It¶s implied throughout the essay that humans often do not intendto lie, but we all do in various ways. We choose to make life easier by ignoring facts,confrontation, or potentially bad situations through a lie. A theme Ericsson focuses on isdeciding when to lie. The trick of thought when telling a white lie is that you begin to think youknow what¶s best for the person being lied to.
This book deserves an A because it includes creative scenarios, an ingenious setting, and a surprisingly menacing antagonist, but can be confusing to keep up with at times. The first
Overall I would give the book 3 out of five stars because I didn’t really like the book because it was very slow paced throughout the entire book with a lot of filler chapters that didn’t contribute to the plot of the
The Ways We Lie by Stephanie Ericsson explains how everyone lies in this world, one way or another. Ericsson expresses the many ways people lie and why they do so. She educates her audience by describing the different types of lies told daily by sharing personal stories, asking rhetorical questions and creates hypothetical situations to support her statements. She begins with the white lie, which is a harmless lie instead of the truth, if the truth was bad news. Then she continues to explain a façade, changing your personality making people believe something you are not.
It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and
3. This book is one of the great classics of literature. It’s impact on modern pop culture and the modern horror genre are outstanding. I am very glad I read this book. I adore all the little details in this book that make you wonder if it could ever be real.
I think it fair to [b]rate this book 3 out 4 stars[/b] considering the fact I was so eager to finish it in one sitting (yes,that's how good it was). Though I would've jumped straight to 4 stars if the suspense was more razor-sharp than it was, especially with such a deliciously dark feel given to the atmosphere the author magnificently bestowed upon the book. The story revolves around the relationship between Haatim, a young theology graduate whose life descended into utter chaos due to an unpleasant family tragedy before encountering this new world of demons and supernatural occurings he never knew he belonged to, and Abigail, who is now dedicating her life to protecting him and hunting demons that are threatening both their lives. It was incredibly intriguing how the author succeeded to draw the reader into this daunting world of suspense and horror starting from the very beginning.
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
In E. Lockhart's novel "We Were Liars," the development of the protagonist, Cadence Sinclair Eastman, showcases a compelling exploration of identity. Cadence undergoes a profound transformation, moving through the stages of self-discovery, denial, and ultimately acceptance, as she grapples with the truth surrounding her family's tragic past. Lockhart skillfully employs symbolism and foreshadowing to emphasize Cadence's evolving sense of self, as seen in her connection with the color white and her recurring migraines. Through these techniques, Lockhart highlights the significance of self-realization and the inherent complexities of identity. The initial stage of Cadence's development revolves around self-discovery, as she seeks to understand her place within the Sinclair family and their privileged world on Beechwood Island.
The Dogon tribe believes that women must be over power by men but men still need them. Since men were known to be more arrogant and dictatorial and had complete power of women which allowed them to have a secured over the women as they wear the women mask that give them terrorize for the men. This made men take on the roles of women and they do all the hard labor for women. There mask look like the depicts a woman’s head with beauty. It was known as the Satimbe Mask which it presents for the women.
Their group called themselves “the liars”. In summer 15 Cadence suffered a serious brain injury and lost every memory from that year. She wasn’t allowed to go back to the island or do much of anything for two years. When Cadence could finally go back to island the memories from summer 15 slowly began coming back. She remembered that “the liars’ had drank a couple of beers and then planned to set fire to the family homes.
We were liars is a story about the ideals we are all supposed to aspire to, simply because of the way our society defines success; as being forceful, reckless, hasty and bold. The dauntless ideal Cadence falls prey for. In my opinion the book is trying to shed light on the insidious backside of our idea of heroism, and the too often gruesome consequences it might bring. That it more frequently than not results in the unnecessary suffering of others. Cady’s cousin Mirren on the other hand, had a very different life motto: ”Always be kinder than you have to”.
