Author’s Note: I have recently started to read the story The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time with Mr. Johnson and Sydney W. In this writing
prompt, I wanted to talk about how Christopher never tells lies. In this piece
I wanted to work on my idea development and content. Add a good thesis and have
a nice fictional narrative start.
It was a few minutes after midnight, and I
was walking down the road to visit my neighbor's dog. As I looked over the gate
I saw the dog lying on the ground, a pitchfork right in the chest. I raced my
way around the fence and entered the backyard; I cradled the dog in my arms.
Lights turn on in the house, and I saw Mrs. Shears staring at me, mouth wide
open. She races over to me and asked if I killed the dog. Of course I didn't
and that's exactly what I told her. Although, Mrs. Shears did not believe me, and
I mentioned that I never tell lies. It may feel good hiding the truth from
other people, but a lie not only hurts the person you told it to, it hurts
yourself.
Early in the book, The Curious Incident
of the Dog in the Night-time, Christopher mentioned how he doesn't tell
lies. The true definition of this word is a purposeful misrepresentation of
the truth. When you tell a lie, you might think that it is ok, although a
lie hurts the person you told it to.
That is exactly why Christopher never tells lies. He is afraid that it
will bounce back at him in another time in his life.
When you tell a lie, you may think that it
is ok, but it only hurts the person instead of helping them. You need to tell the truth with everything
that you do in your life, even if the truth hurts. Believe me, if you lie to
protect, that will still hurt the person you told it to. When you tell the
truth, better things will happen to you, and that is exactly why Christopher
never lies in the book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
