I am reading the book Zack’s Lie. In the book Zach’s whole identity is all a lie; he is really Jack Osborne. Jack Osborne and his family were forced to change their whole identities when masked men break into their house and threaten them. Jack’s father is in jail, and for his family to be safe they were put into the Witness Security Program. They are no longer the Osborne but the Granger from Nevada. As they move to the new town they are never to reveal their true identities and former lives. Zach struggle with his new life but as he begins to feel like he is getting his life back, he find himself in danger. My question to you is what would be harder for you in keeping a secret--- remembering not to slip up or having to hide your past from those you become close to?
For me it would be harder to not share my real life to those who become close to me. It would be like that because I have a tendency not to keep secrets from the people that get close to me.
ReplyDeleteI think the hardest one would be hiding my past away from those who I come close to. The reason why I say this is because I would find it hard to tell anyone about my past if I’ve done anything awful or bad. It’s because telling the truth about yourself is more difficult than tell about someone else because it’s not about you but someone else.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part of keeping a secret like that is I would always feel like I was living a lie. Slipping up about my true identity would be a problem at first, but eventually I’d learn how to work around that. But I’d always feel like I wouldn’t be able to get close to anyone, because I would always be lying to them. It would be really hard to have a friendship if you had to hide who you really were.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing about keep a secret for me is hide my past from people that are important to me. Why I choose the second option is because I wouldn’t be able that had not to slip up, but imaging lying to people close to me just would be that easy. It would look like that you don’t trust them when they told you their secret. It just wouldn’t feel right, and I would feel so trapped.
ReplyDeleteI could not handle keeping secrets away from those who I trust. People are going to naturally want to know where you came from, what you did, and more. I couldn’t handle all the lies. I don’t like lying and I try not to. If I were to start lying, I couldn’t remember what I lied about, and then my whole story wouldn’t make sense.
ReplyDeleteIn keeping a secret, I feel it would be most hard to keep the secret from those I become close to over remembering not to ‘slip up.’ This would be more difficult because I like to be honest with people especially those I am close to. It would also be more difficult to start any kind of relationship with a person if everything you would be telling them would have to be a lie. Growing up I’ve been taught to tell the truth which is why I feel it would be most difficult to keep this secret from those I become close to.
ReplyDeleteI’d have to say keeping the past would be harder. You never know how someone is going to react to it. There’s always that chance that won’t care. But if it was important for them not to know I feel that would be hard because you want someone to know someone to talk to about it. Help you get through tough times. It’s like they know you but not the real you. Keeping a secret form someone you have grown close to is always hard no matter what it may be.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think keeping my past from others would be harder. I think becoming close with someone or even getting into a relationship and not being able to tell them anything about my past would be difficult. I would feel guilty making up lies to them and knowing that they are telling me the truth about their life.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part for me would be not letting it slip. I'm really awaful at lying and keeping a neutral face, so that'll never work out. My face actually turns red when I'm feeling pressure, embarassed, and stressed. It just wouldn't work out.
ReplyDeleteFor me the hardest part of keeping a secret would be hiding my past from those I become close to. Although not slipping up would be hard at first, you would eventually get used to it. I don’t believe living a lie is something anyone wants to get used to so this is why I believe it would be harder to hide my past and not being able to be honest about who I am.
ReplyDeleteFor me it would be harder not to tell others I become close to about my past. You can’t truly become close to someone, or earn their trust without them knowing about your life, past and present.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing would be for me to hide my past from the people I care about. I would be able to handle the lies id tell them, in order to keep them, my family and myself safe. Trust is key in any relationship. If there’s no trust then how can you believe what the person you’re talking to is saying the truth? I would make sure to not slip up, I would watch what I say and do all the time. If this ever happened to me it pretty much is putting a mask on. If I had to wear a mask that hid the real me, I would be a very unhappy person and not myself.
ReplyDeleteI think keeping the past would be harder. Especially from someone that you are really close to. Telling your past to someone that you trust is better than keeping it. Because every time you look directly to their eyes you are going to feel that you are lying by not telling them how your past might be. Telling someone you trust about your past will make your future way better and it would be easy to overcome those hard times in your past.
