I have read five chapters of We Were Liars, and I think this is a really deep and thoughtful book. In the first five chapters, I have met a whole family. The oldest people are Harris and Tipper, and they have three children Carrie, Bess, and Penny. Carrie has two children Johnney and Will; Bess has four children Mirren, Liberty, Bonnie and Taft, and Liberty and Bonnie are twins; Penny has only Cadence who is also the main chapter of this book. At the begaining of the book, we see that Cadence’s father leaves them and she feel so sad, but her mother tells her to calm down right after her dad drive away. We also see their family’s characteristic, “The Sinclairs are athletic, tall, and handsome. We are oldmoney Democrats. Our chins square, and our tennis serves aggressive”(Lockhart 3). In this sentence, we can see this family is so rich and they seems like their perfect. However, the truth is not what they said. The truth is that they are trying to become the heiress of this huge family, so they are all pretending themselves to be a perfect person. However, I know that they will finally show their real self. In chapter three, time goes back to when Cadence was 14 years old, and they went to the Beechwood Island. Their family owns the island, and they all have a home on the island. Harris and Tipper lives in Clairmont; Carrie lives in Red Gate; Bess lives in Cuddledown; Penny lives in Winsemere.
No matter how you are good at pretending, you will show yourself one day. I believe that when this family show their real self, there will happen some terrible thing. I have seen so many tragedy and troubles because my two uncles were arguing about who should take the land when my grand mother is gone. At the start, they were trying to be nice to my grand parents, and they did not even show their bad side in front of them until last Chinese New Year. My uncle had a disagreement with my grand parents, then he slapped the door and he left during the dinner. I can tell you that he was a really nice gentleman in my opinion because he always bought fruits and food for my grand parents. However, once he realized that he cannot get what he wants, he became a absolute hoodlum. I consider that this will have so many changes in the fellow chapters, and we will see all the lies to be uncovered. To be honest, this book has remaindered me so many thing that happened in the real life. Thus, lies won’t be covered forever, and we will finally find out.
This would be even more interesting than the last one because this one has more liars, and this book has a bigger back story. I think this book is talking more about human nature. I am looking forward to see why they lie; what they do. I hope the ending won’t be too sad. I am going to read the book now. See you next blog.
