"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a
chance to get
its pants on."
- Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
CONSIDER: Do lies have more power than the truth? Which can harm a person more , words or actions? Can the truth really save people's lives, or simply make their experiences harder to face?

Lies can get you in so much trouble! Lies have much more power because; if you tell someone a lie and then tell then the truth they will remember that you told a lie. Words can harm a person so much more then actions because, after you say something you can never take the words back no matter how much you wish. I believe that it’s better to tell the truth because; at the end of the day people will only remember the thing you said and if you told everyone lies then they would only remember you as a person that lie . That’s why you should all was tell the truth no matter what!

DeleteWhat this quote means is that a lie can let you go for a while, but not forever. The truth does come back to confront the lies you've told, and when it does, it harms the trust that your friends or parents have in you, and without trust, people don't know when you're telling the truth or not. Why? Because of all of those lies you've told in the past, and what "Vanakoleyen" said was very true, once you say it, you can't take it back.

I agree with (so and so) because... but I don't think I agree with (so and so #2) because...
Sample #2 from Miss G:
ReplyDeleteBlah blah here's my comment.
Well a lie does travel faster than the truth. because somebody will say a lie and it will be pass down to more and more people..but later if you tell the truth nobody will believe you, they might think your not tell the truth.
