Why Queenie Is Lies
Queenie Volupides isn't telling the truth about the events that led to the death of her husband of her husband Arthur. One reason showing that Queenie is lying is that she invited her friends from the country club party to her house but she got to the house ten minutes before her friends got to her house. The second reason showing Queenie is lying is that the autopsy concluded that Arthur was drunk and he was found on his back. The last reason is all the stairs look like no one grabbed or held onto something nearby.

That morning, Patrick had arranged to meet Arlena at Pixy Cove; he instructed her to hide in a hidden cave if she heard anyone coming. Christine, meanwhile, set Linda’s watch back so she had an alibi then headed to Pixy Cove where she changed to look like Arlena and lay face down.

    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…

    There are many different ways to classify a person, some good and some bad. In Rosiland Wiseman’s essay “The Queen Bee and Her Court” she says, “We need to give girls credit for the sophistication of their social structures”. She’s right, the way girls separate each other into different cliques is very complex and multilayered, but sometimes it can be very harmful to some of the girls. If you classify someone has a “Queen Bee”, or “The IT girl”, they are going to feel empowered and special. But what about the girls you call “Losers”, or “Wannabe’s”. They are going to feel depressed, like they don’t fit in, or that they’re weird or not as good as those other girls.…

    Social cliques are made up of a group of people all becoming friends. In her essay, “Queen Bee and Her Court,” Rosalind Wiseman states “cliques are sophisticated, complex, and multilayered, and every girl has a role within them.” In high school, everyone struggles to be themselves and find their place; therefore; some comply with being in a social clique and follow the path of others. Moreover, every high schooler has dealt with peer pressure within their cliques. Peer pressure is the influence from members of ones peer group. Although many people believe peer pressure is always negative, that is not the case. There are two types of peer pressure: positive peer pressure and negative peer pressure. Correspondingly, bullying can be an extremely harmful result of negative peer pressure. In a high school setting, all of these aspects can be seen.…

    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.…

    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…
