"White Lies"

I like this poem because i use to the same thing when i was younger and my mom would get on to me and my dad would too. (Good times) I love the part in there where its states the mom would clean her mouth out with soap saying itll puritfy her lying tongue; then she says she swallows some of the suds thinking itll work from the inside out. That meant to me like she doenst want to tell another one so hoping that the soap would cleanse her of her bad habit of white lies and we all do it lol i know i do, but mostly to get out of things i dont wanna do or dont feel like doing.

Saboteur

Wow now that was a crazy story. First the guy, Chiu Maguang, gets arrested for something he didnt do. Then he ends up being mistreated in a military jail. He has a fever from the acute hepatitis and the guards dont make it an effort for him to get some medical help. A lawyer shows up sent by his wife to come get him and he ends up being cuffed to a post in the sun, getting water poured on him every hour, but no chance for him to use the restroom. Mr. Chiu is then forced to sign a release kinda thing saying that he did the crime and wont do it again so then afterwards he and the lawyer are released. He then has a revenge full thought getting eight hundred possibly and more likely innocent affected with hepatitis somehow.

Barn Burning

The story was pretty interesting. Sarty had to decide whether to lie to the Justice peoples or tell the truth in telling them his father was responsible for burning the barn. Also the lecture his dad gave him about to stick with your own blood. When the dad ruined the carpet that was alil unnecessary in my opinion but hey the guy does have that butthead kinda vibe to him. Finally the kid does the right thing at the end with telling De Spain his fathers plan, but you end up not finding out what exactly happens like did he really burn the barn down or did De Spain make it in time before he got the chance to? At the end im glad he didnt go back to the house with his mom, sisters, and brother. He was better than they were and was better off without them.
