Good Lord Bird Question
1/29/15

There is no valid reason for a person to tell a lie even if it is beneficial to other people. Lying can betray the trust of a person and after that, that individual is known as a liar and everything that is said is believed to be a lie. There is always a consequence for every lie told. It is not permissible to lie in the situation that took place in the story, The Good Lord Bird. Henry Lying about his name and his gender was not the ideal thing to do because it could lead bigger problems and he would have to tell more lies to cover each lie he told. Lying is also not permissible in this situation because Henry is a Christian and it is a sin to lie. John Brown is heavily religious and believes everything that is in the Bible. If he found out that Henry was lying about his name, he would not be able to trust Henry and that could lead to other consequences.

My name is Jane Owusu and during my free time I enjoy taking a nap. I do not play any sports but I use to play soccer just as a hobby. I am always on social media especially instagram and snapchat and with instagram I only post maybe twice a month. I am one to look at other people's post rather than post myself. In my life the most ridiculous lie I ever told was telling my grandmother that I took a shower she caught me by checking to see if my sponge was wet. I told this lie because at that time I did not feel like taking a shower when she told me to. The last thing I failed, was my driving test. I was failed for driving too slow and I learned to pick up my pace when driving and to not worry about being nervous. As a writer I will give myself a C. I still think there are places I can improve and that is what I hope to learn this semester. When I am writing I just let the words flow, I find it difficult to follow an outline if given one. The most recent book I read was Allegiant. I would describe a hero to be someone who helps others without thinking about the risk.
