This quote from Fyodor Dontovesky is trying to say that every time someone is making a lie that they don’t want anyone else to know and when people realize what really happened then consequences are very severe.

Dostoevsky’s quote‚ “…fear is simply the consequence of every lie”‚ illustrates a feeling one gets when one is untruthful. When one lies‚ fear fully takes them over because they are unsure of what the outcome will be of their lie.

Ericsson strategies and structures 1-6‚ Thinking about language 1-3 1. I think Ericsson adopts a confessional strategy by admitting she tells lies to support her thesis that "We lie. We all do." (3). The author begins her narrative with a "lie"‚ "The bank called today and I told them my deposit was in the mail‚ even though I hadn’t written a check yet." (1).
