Lying is a common habit that everyone has had experiences with. I have lied and have been lied to numerous times. Everyone has. However, not everyone exposed to a certain lie is aware of it’s true power. In her essay “The Ways We Lie”, Stephanie Ericsson criticizes our bad habit of lying. She explains many different types of lies and even gives examples to show how harmful they can be as “our acceptance of lies becomes a cultural cancer that eventually shrouds and reorders reality until moral garbage becomes invisible to us as water is to a fish” (128).
In the essay The Ways We Lie, author Stephanie Ericsson writes in depth about the different types of lies used by most people everyday. While listing examples of them, Ericsson questions her own experiences with lying and whether or not it was appropriate. By using hypothetical situations, true accounts, and personal occurrences, she highlights the moral conflicts and consequences that are a result of harmless fibs or impactful deceptions. In an essay detailing the lies told to ourselves and others, Ericsson points out one bold truth; everyone lies. Through her writing, Ericsson causes the reader to look into how they’ve lied in the past and how to effects others and the general greater good of society.

Deception can be used for both good and bad reasons. It can lead someone to be emotionally or physically hurt, or it can hide information from others, both in positive and negative situations. Despite the negative outcomes that can come from deception, many take a chance when deceiving others in hopes of reaching a positive outcome. In the case of novels, deception is often used as a way to put emphasis on the meaning of the work. In Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Foer, Oskar Schell and his mother deceive each other in hopes that it will allow the other to cope more easily with a death in their family.
The first reason why I think Hans is the kindest character to Liesel in “The Book Thief” is when Rosa would scream at Liesel, and Hans would comfort her and somehow make her feel better. “There was nothing but dry paint, difficult breath, and the deluge of abuse from Rosa. ‘leave her alone.’ “Leave her to me.” “ ‘ You know how to roll a cigarette.’”(page. 33) In these quotes it shows that from the start Hans loved Liesel, Hans always showed love towards her. Hans took care of her and comforted her when Rosa would scream at her. This shows that Hans really did care about her because if he did not he would and done nothing. Perhaps he knew what it felt like to be in a new house with a new family. But Liesel was already very comfortable with Hans

Part 2 From what has been established so far in The Book Thief, I believe that Liesel is hungry for knowledge and the power of literacy. Since the beginning, she has longed for this ability which is why she stole books in the first place. It just so happened that Hans was willing to teach her how to read and to teach her the things that she wouldn’t learn at school. I think that she has many longings for things throughout the book, but this is the most important in her mind. Along with just the ability to read, I also think that she wanted the chance to show that

In her essay “The Ways We Lie” Stephanie Ericsson (2007) states different ways people lie in their lives and explains the reasons why people lie. Ericsson starts her essay, by explaining how she lied four times in just one day, and that she doesn’t feel guilty about doing it. Although at the same time she explains that everyone lies one way or another but there is no such a thing as a good lie. The author continues her contends by listing different types of lies people use in different situations such as: the white lie, facades, ignoring the plain facts, deflecting, omission, stereotypes and clichés, groupthink, out-and-out lies, dismissal, and finally delusion then she explains each in detail by providing examples.

In Stephanie Ericsson's essay, "The Ways We Lie," (1992), the author explains that a person can lie without even knowing they are doing so simply because it is part of the human nature. Ericsson uses personal life situations, such as: lying to the bank about a check being in the mail, lying about the reason why she was late to a business meeting, and telling a friend she was busy and could not go eat with her. Her main purpose is to explain the different types of lies told daily by most people in order to illustrate that although we may not realize we are lying, technically we are and sometimes it could be for the good of the person or for the worse. Ericsson relates to his target audience, everyone, by stating everyone lies one way or another,

When I first looked into HBCU colleges to apply for, Fisk University was my first choice. I am interested in Fisk University because I feel it is the perfect fit for me.
