Lie vs. Asking Questions

If I had a choice to pick between lying or asking questions and getting true answers I would choose to ask any questions because I like to know things, and if I lie it makes me feel kind of guilty. I would know things that a lot of other people might not know. It also gets annoying when people answer your questions with, "Ask me later," or, "Not now," or even, "I don't want to talk about it." I like to know the truth about a lot of questions I have.

The Giver Journal Entry

The ceremony of Twelve is over now, and I feel nervous and confused about my new selection. What is The Receiver of Memory, and why hasn't anybody ever mention this to me? I'm looking through my list of instructions and I don't get it, I'm allowed to lie? The pain, of The Receiver of Memory doesn't sound that good, but it is a very important job in the community. I wonder why I was given the position as The Receiver of Memory, and what I will learn from this experience.

Psych

On Friday we watched an episode of Psych in class. The name of the episode was Pilot.
The crime was that there was a kidnapping but it turned out to be fake. Then there was murder.
The detectives were Sean and Gus.
The villain was Mr. McCallen.
The victims were Kamden McCallen and his friend Malcom Orso.
The suspects were Mr. McCallen and Katerina McCallen.
The sense of danger, suspense or tension was when Sean explained the crime in front of everybody.
The red herring was the bag with the ransom money when it turned out to be a bag of clothes for a thrift shop and the gun in Malcom's hand.
The witness was Kamden McCallen's dog.
The evidence was Kamden and Malcom's bodies, the gun, the coffee mug, the blood on the corner of the table, the dog bite medication and the cut on Mr. McCallen's wrist.
The clue was the blood on the dog's whisker.
The investigation was the police investigation with Gus and Sean.
The surprise ending was when the dad was the killer of his own son and Malcom.
