However‚ the audience could relate to his works; Guernica is an example of his success‚ since it represented the tragedies of war‚ which the audience could sympathize with. Hence‚ we shall ask if by distorting our perception to reality‚ how art is a lie and how it brings us nearer to the truth? As a result‚ we will discuss three main points of the Picasso’s quote; art‚ lies and reality.

Occasionally‚ it’s tolerable to tell a lie in order to help lessen the burden upon the people around you. For example‚ in A Lesson Before Dying‚ Grant wanted to come up with a small lie regarding his visit with Jefferson in order to keep Miss Emma’s spirits up. Jefferson didn’t acknowledge the fact that Miss Emma was "sick" or express his gratitude towards her cooking and Grant knew that that would’ve hurt Miss Emma. In order to avoid the despondency‚ Grant told Miss Emma that he got Jefferson to

It’s been stuck in my head ever since I heard it at a concert. “He makes me lie down” (Psalm 23:2). There’s a secret in this verse we often rush past.

One Good Turn Deserves Another When someone does you a good deed‚ you must never forget it. You must look out for the opportunity to do a good deed to that person.

see every sin as equally bad. In other words‚ no one sin is worse or should draw worse punishment than another. In Dante’s The Inferno‚ however‚ this is not the case. In The Inferno‚ the deeper one delves into Hell‚ the worse the sin that has been committed. The punishments that the souls incur are representative of the sins they committed in their corporeal state of being. Sins that affect others are considered worse then those that only affect ones self by Dante. The Wrathful in Canto 8 are lower

A rock is another rocks raw materials‚ meaning rocks that dinosaurs used to step on‚ are what make up the rock we use to skip on the lake. The quick and simple way to answer how that could be true is‚ the rock cycle‚ but the rock cycle is actually very complex.

One came to the 1st tree and said‚ "This looks like a strong tree‚ I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter‚" and he began cutting it down.

Aristotle had two major works about the Ethics‚ they are Nichomachean Ethics and Eudemian Ethics.

The article I read was “How My Parents Put the Lie to Mad Men” by Robin Hardman. The article was about Hardman’s family life growing up.
