The emotions the book liar stirred up for me are the ones I have toward my sisters and made me change my perspective on them. Yes they steal and they lie to no end but I’m pretty sure they don’t have a huge secret like micah does in this book. I could never understand what it is about my sisters that make them do the things they do. I live with my mom and they come over quite often and I had to go out and buy a door knob with a real key lock on it instead of the pop locks that my mom had just so I could keep my things. They lie about things that never matter and I guess after reading this book I was hoping to find logic behind it. I obviously did not but it’s always good to be hopeful though. I think that being a liar is hereditary I think it’s something in your genes that were passed down from generation to generation. Lying is a major coping mechanism to cover for something that has happened usually but in my case this is not true. My mom is not big on lying and neither is my father. But each of us has a different dad and both of their dads are liars so that is the conclusion I have come up with after reevaluating the situation at hand. I am just very thankful that I did not get those genes. Don’t get me wrong I do lie but I do it to spare the feelings of someone usually and I don’t do it very often because I try not to get in those sorts of situations.
I don't think your sisters are werewolves. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting (and true) that you point out in this blog that all lies are not equal...
