    After reading Stephanie Ericsson’s article titled “ The ways we lie” , I chose to write about delusion. In Ericsson’s article she said that delusion is closely related to other forms of lying such as dismissal , omission , and amnesia. It is a form of protecting yourself from facts that you don’t want to face. Instead of taking a good look at yourself and being totally honest with yourself , you allow logic to go out the window and make up excuses for your actions. You may truly believe what you are telling yourself . That makes delusion a cunning way to excuse your behavior and your actions. On a grander scale, some people may delude unpleasant or overwhelming facts ( such as “The Revelation” (or second coming) because to truly adknowledge…

    Anne Roiphe balances her two stories even though they were different, but comparable to her life by showing the similarities of her father and husband. Roiphe’s father like her husband were the same because they would spend all their time in some type of club or bar and were always too drunk to where they were incompetent to do a simple task like hold their children. They both used verbal abuse and smooth talk with their wives. One day they would say that their wives were beautiful and the next day they were slander anything about them. The husbands were both handsome men but thought of their wives as plain women with little beauty, and as they would continue to treat their wives like this it would exacerbate the wives feelings. The characteristic…

    In “The Ways We Lie” by Stephanie Ericsson, she talks about the many different types of lies. She says that we all lie, and we all lie in most of the ways she mentions. In my opinion, I agree with most of what she says. It is true that we all lie in some way, but we might not all lie in the same way. Some people like to use the “lie of omission” while others might to tend towards the “white lie.” While these lies, in my opinion, tend to be the most common, some of her other example of lying are also used widely. “Ignoring the plain facts” is used all over the news and media, and her example of the Church in the 1960s is one of the most famous. This is also an example of irony, because the Church itself was the one “ignoring the plain…

    In the beginning of the play, Anne was a very immature thirteen year old girl. She always tried to have fun out of every situation. She was very fun- loving and playful. For example, Anne said, “ Good evening everyone. Forgive me if I don’t stay. I have a friend waiting for me in there. My friend Tom. Tom Cat. Some people say we look alike. But Tom has the most beautiful whiskers and I only have a little fuzz. I am hoping in time…” This shows that Anne was very immature and liked to play around. It didn’t appear she realized the seriousness of the holocaust at that time.…

    1. After seven years of ever-lurking silence Ann does something she soon regrets. At the end of the story Ann says, “If you knew him though- John would try” (p. 7). So did Ann really know John? I think Ann did know John and she knew that he would come home like he always did. But I think she let herself believe what Steven continued to say which was no one would risk coming home in such a bad storm. Ann always had feelings for Steven, but they were all for the wrong reasons. So I think her act with Steven was her defiance of seven years of ‘ever-lurking silence’ with John. Ann always felt alone with John and I think she thought Steven could give her more than what John had given her, but soon after her act with Steven she realized she was wrong. Ann realized John was a man and there was nothing Steven could give her that John wouldn’t, but by the time Ann realized this it was too late.…

    In her late teens Jeannette and her sister realized if they were going to make any sort of a life for themselves they were going to need to get out of Welch and away from their family, so they started saving money to go to New York. Unfortunately one day jeannette comes home to find their money stolen, “Someone had slashed him apart with a knife and stole all the money. I knew it was dad, but at the same time, I couldn't believe he would swoop this low”(228). This quote supports my claim and my thesis because it shows that whatever hope she had left of her father was gone because he had stolen the money for not only the prosperous future she was planning for herself, but also her sister. After Jeannette had moved to New York and started a life for herself, she rarely saw her parents, but once and awhile she would get a phone call, “I was annoyed by Dad’s sly request for vodka-tossing it out at the end of the conversation as if it were an afterthought, when I figured it was probably the purpose of the call”. (277) This quote supports my claim by showing that in her early adulthood Jeanette has overcome her denial and realizes the truth about her father. It also supports my thesis by showing that Jeannette has moved on and made a life for…

    Lying is something that people do in their daily lives, whether they choose to admit or not is their decision. It has become normal for children as well as adults to lie in their lives to avoid saying something they do not want to. Adults do it sometimes when they want to keep their children happy and avoid them from being sad if parents tell them the truth. Now children do lie quite more than adults for their own reasons. The real question is why do children lie? Children lie often because they think the truth hurts people’s feelings and they are afraid of telling the truth.…

    8. I would say Ericsson’s tone for the most part stays light and at some points even humorous. She uses just enough humor to keep the reader hooked and entertained but not too much so it doesn’t mock. I also think there is almost a hint of guilt in her tone for her lies and for they war all people lie to each…

    In "The Ways We Lie," by Stephanie Ericsson, the author depicts the many ways humans lie and justifies the reasons for doing so. There is the white lie, which is basically telling a harmless untruth instead of a harmful truth. Facades are basically changing your personality while ignoring the plain facts, as the title implies, is a false action done with the intent to deceive. Deflecting is not answering the question at all; it is being up-front about comfortable issues and not revealing the couple of very important issues that changes everything.…
