Sometime it's good to lie and sometimes it's bad. In this
book, we discovered some good and bad lies. The good lies are when Raphael
said, "Sometimes, sir! Sometimes, ma’am!", "What I really mean
is no, never because what we mainly find is stupp" (page 4). Another
example is when Raphael said, “You don’t want to draw attention to yourself, or
you can lose what you find" (page 9). They don’t tell anyone about the bag
because if they tell anyone, they will lose it. The next example is when, Gardo
said, "My grandfather in prison, ma’am, and i want to go and see
him"(page 80). He is lying to Sister Olivia to meet Gabriel Olondriz
because if not no one will take him there. The last example of good lying is
when Father Julliard said, “It’s hard to keep the children attending class, and
we have to bribe them with food (page 47). Father Juilliard is making the kids
attend class by lying to them that they will get food if they do. The bad lies
happened when, Gardo said, "This is very dangerous now, for you also. He
could betray us" (page133). Gabriel Olondriz gave his bible to a security
guard, Marco but, after he passed away Marco disappeared and he didn't give the
bible to them. Another example is when, Gabriel Olondriz said,“The reason I am in this jail
is that I brought corruption charges against senator Zapanta,” (page 101),This
means that, Gabriel Olondriz doesn't do
anything but, Senator Zapanta lied to
the police and they arrested Gabriel Olondriz. The next example is when, making
Sister Olivia pay to see Gabriel Olondriz. This is bad because it related with
police corruption which between the police and Sister Olivia. The last example
is when; Father Julliard said "Some of our children are the best liars in
the world" (page 84). This can be good and bad lie, they lie because they
wants to survive and it's bad because sometimes it could be dangerous for them
and sometimes it can be bigger problem. In conclusion, there are many ways of lie;
sometimes it good, sometimes is bad and sometimes it can be white lies. White lies
mean we’re lie to make other people feel good and it doesn’t really have a big
impact on us. It can be good because most of them lying to survive. It can be
bad if they lying to others and has big impact on it like, police corruption
and etc.
Dalili, it's great that you used a lot of examples in your writing of good and bad lies. What you really needed to do was get into a deeper analysis of what was going on with the lying - explain about poverty and power - who has the most to gain? Who has the most to lose? Also try and change your sentence structures so your writing is not repetitive ("the next example is, the next example is") - this should really be a personal response to lying using the book as an example.
