Quotes From The Movie 'A Few Good Men'

Sometimes it’s easier for a reader to have empathy for others when they know what other people are feeling, thinking, and what’s been going on in their lives. It makes “putting yourself in their shoes” simpler. First Person POV is an example of when this can occur. The reader is seeing events how the main character is seeing it. When Cherry asks Ponyboy what Darry is like while walking home from the movies one night, Ponyboy lets out all of his feelings for his older brother. My face got hot as I bit my lip. “He’s….” I started to say he was a good ol’ guy, but I couldn’t. I burst out bitterly: “He’s not like Sodapop and he sure ain’t like me. He’s as hard as rock and about as human. He thinks I’m a pain in the neck. He likes Soda- everybody likes Soda- but he can’t stand me. I bet he wishes he could stick me in a home somewhere, and he’d do it, too, if Soda’d let him.” This, and Ponyboy’s view of Darry’s actions, sway the reader to believe what he is saying, that Darry cannot stand Ponyboy.

Someone once stated,” Tell me the cold truth, but don’t paint me a pretty lie.” As we walk our journey of life, we come to understand that the truth is harsh and yields to no one;moreover, the lie’s hurt increases as it grows. Honesty is important in all situations because eventually the truth shows and people base how they connect you in their life by your honesty or lies.

It is actually very hard to be completely honest all the time and in every situation. But I believe that being honest can be very rewarding in the end because you are not deceiving others or yourself which is beneficial to you and society.

We are more comfortable with ourselves and many times we gain a reputation for being truthful, a trait that most people value. Telling the truth helps you feel secure and peaceful inside. As writers these are the same feelings we run into when writing to our audience. Although in many occasions the audience will differ with you and may have opposing point of views, you will always be able to defend yourself with the sufficient information and with clear and true responses. Aswriters we have an important responsibility at our hands. We have to be honest at all times. Honesty is a straightforward conduct. Tell the truth despite

Nevertheless, you should always be honest with people. The trait does get you further in life by people being able to trust you, and keeping you out of

In “Brad Blanton: Honestly Tell the Truth” , an article by Barbara Ballinger reports that you should honestly tell the truth rather than lying. Ballinger supports her idea by reporting that Blanton says “Because it keeps you locked up in the jail of your own mind”, which means lying can sometimes trouble you when the guilt hits you. Ballinger also states “Delivering the truth is easier, takes less time, and is less stressful.” This quote means that when you lie or keep the truth from someone then it causes a lot of stress and it just takes less time to tell someone the truth rather than lying. Ballinger wants to report that telling the truth is better and less time consuming than telling a

Even though being honest is a nice thing, but with a lie one can spare someone's feelings. Ericsson states “when my partner came home, his haggard face told me his day hadn't gone any better than mine, so when he asked “how was your day?” I said, “oh fine”, knowing that one more straw might break his back”(page#). In this quote the author shows how she spared her partner feelings by not truthfully telling him that her day wasn’t so great, because she knew that if she told him it would’ve made him worry. With a lie you can spare someone's feelings,but it still does not make you a honest person because you’re hiding how you truly feel just not to hurt

Tom Joad and retired Reverend Casey find Tom’s home abandoned and in a state of ruin. They learn from Muley, the Joad’s neighbor, a company is forcing residents off their land. Tom's has decided to move to California.

When people are fearful of what they did, they may lie, because they know they did something wrong, or they are worried that they might have done something wrong. If you would tell the truth, you will feel so much better that you have told the truth, the truth will also get you out of more trouble.

but little do they know that avoiding and lying is only making you feel worse about yourself and in the end you are going to have to say the truth in order to feel

I think the novel ended on a negative note because many quotes and evidence in the novel leaves us in a statement and thought saying that something bad is going to happen or something bad happened. In the novel, The Giver, it states, “ The memories had fallen behind him now, escaping from his protections to return to the people of his community.” This quote means that every step Jonas took outside of the community, the more his memories didn’t belong to him anymore. They slowly started to be in the hands of the community instead of Jonas. That action had impacted the people in a negative way, which had created a prodigious problem.

At this point in the story, Major Duluth has died and been replaced with Major Major, who has begun to fit in amongst the men. However, with the news that Major Major has been made a squadron commander, the men have begun to ignore and avoid him at any cost. For example, in the mess hall, Major Major is no longer welcome to sit with the men, but rather has to sit on his own at a private table. This antagonism towards the squadron commander stems from suspicion and resentment. Many believe that instead of being promoted for his work and capability, Major Major has been promoted for having an appearance similar to that of Henry Fonda.

“An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden. Telling the truth is not the easiest thing to do, this is because not most people are scared of what the consequence or don’t know how to tell someone the truth or how you feel.

They are scared to get in trouble with a friend, parent, boss, or other higher authority. It is generally believed that “avoiding punishment is the most frequent reason people tell serious lies, regardless of their age” (Ekman). People will lie, even about the littlest things. It does not matter how big or small the lie may be, it is a natural habit for individuals to make up a fib in order to escape the harsh consequences that will follow. In the play The Crucible, Abigail, one of the main characters, lies to protect herself from telling the complete truth when she says, “we danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam's dead sisters. And that is all” (Miller 19). People will protect themselves from being caught in a lie at all costs. Only telling part of the truth is not considered lying but it is morally wrong because individuals are withholding information that is already known. Individuals may even display violence by threatening others, like in Abigail's circumstance. Abigail warned, “Let either of you breathe a word...about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning and I will shudder you” (19). She does not want to get in trouble the parts of the story she was leaving out. People show these aggressive actions in fear of others finding out the truth. They lash out and say things they do not mean when being caught in a

Would some people want to know the whole truth? Even if it would hurt that person? What would that person do if it did hurt you? Therefore, knowing the truth can make people question if people can trust other people, it can make people see other people in a different perspective, and it will make it very hard to regain people’s trust.
