Liar!

From the beginning, he shows characteristics of curiosity and intelligence. To me, Gat is the character that is the most captivating because I can relate to him. I also found myself understanding how he felt at many parts of the book. We Were Liars is narrated by Cadence "Cady", who is the eldest grandchild of the Sinclair family. The Sinclairs are rich, beautiful, privileged, and spend every summer at Beechwood, the family's private island. The summer when Cady is eight, Aunt Carrie brings…

“I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life” (pg. 16) The quote just stated obviously isn’t the truth. It makes whoever said it come off as an unreliable narrator. This quote and many others hint that some of the things the main character, Holden Caulfield, in The Catcher in the Rye says may not be true. It doesn’t specifically say whether or not Holden is lying in the book, but some things are suggested at. “That sort of scared me a little bit. "Well, I know it's quite late," I said,…

Shane Quote: “I’ve heard you’re a low-down Yankee Liar” The tale of a gunfighter who, no matter how hard he tries, can’t escape trouble, Shane is the quintessential Western. A quiet movie overall, the final gunfight is sheer dynamite. Tense in built up and lightning fast in action, the 3-against-1 shootout is heart racing and iconic. The speed of the fight (gunfights then and now are typically quick affairs) keeps the scene grounded, as does Shane getting mortally wounded. The movie earns…
