In Emily Dickinson?s Tell the Truth but tell it slant there are numerous examples of romanticism such as mystery‚ emotion‚ irrationality and surprise.

If you lie once and someone calls you out on that lie then you have to create a bigger lie. You have to adapt to that lie and understand

The Truman Show explores one man’s struggle to uncover the truth about the world he lives in. In Death of a Salesman‚ the responder witnesses the unfolding of one man’s struggle as he comes to terms with an uncomfortable truth (one which he has

friend is on the verge of suicide. You need to tell someone‚ anyone‚ but can’t because the feeling of losing their trust is too overwhelming. Your friend ended up dying because you remained silent.

In the article “Should Doctors Tell the Truth” by Joseph Collins‚ the author describes his experiences as a doctor and discusses how much information a doctor should convey to his or her patients.
