Compare And Contrast A Long Walk To Water And A Good Lie

Decent Essays
The novel A Long Walk to Water and the movie A Good Lie both have a lot of similarities and differences. They have to run away from their families, sidling, friends, and their villages to survive this war without anyone getting hurt or killed. They mostly have a lot of differences more than they have a lot of similarities, because in A Good Lie they went to america and in A Long Walk to Water they mostly traveled to places by foot so I don’t think they travel to far. Even though they both live in sudan there lifestyles are definitely different from each other, because one has to live there life being afraid of walking out of there house and one does not have to live with that fear. They travel to different places and have different experiences

    The world has become more and more connected over time, and even now in the era of 24 hour cable news channels, we often times see the world as a harsher place; however this is not the case. On the contrary, there is evidence to support the fact that the world is becoming more peaceful as time goes on - despite what the news might say (Pink and Mack). Having said that, just because the world is becoming a more peaceful place overall does not mean that major conflicts around the world have just stopped happening. Watching the film, God Grew Tired of Us, this fact was more evident than ever.…

    Everyone on Planet Earth is a liar; harsh but true. Every day we say “Yes, I am okay” or “No, I did not steal the cookie.” These are examples of the millions of lies told, big or small. In the short story The Ways We Lie, the author described ten types of lies: lies of delusion, lies of omission, lies of dismissal, or white lies (Ericsson 409-416). Upon reflection, I realized that I am guilty of telling many lies to save my image, to get out trouble, or to protect other people.…

    Based on what I have reported about China, surely one can see that Marco Polo was not telling a million lies. I am still super frustrated that nobody trusts my best friend and his stories. Just because you don't know something doesn't make it a lie. Take school for example, when the teacher says something that you have never heard before, do you consider that a lie? Now you know that his stories are true.…
