I saw him take an apple from our mother s kitchen table, eat it, and then, when mom asked him if he knew where the apple was, he perjured our family oath to never lie to one another. He said, I have no idea. How can I help him learn the value of truth? Concerned Sister Dear Concerned Sister, I m not sure whether or not he is impervious to the truth. It seems like he did lie and perjured the family oath. But you should try asking him about why he did so. Seems like there is more of a story here. Like, what percent of his words are lies? My feeling from your letter is that he is not usually permitted to lie, and his percentage is low. Thus, gaining his perspective on this lie might help shed light on why he might have lied.

No, she was not going to be a hypocrite. She was going to take this test and not call home sick. She was going to be strong and face the test for which she hadn t studied.

Dear Diary, Today in science class we learned all about how to use a telescope to look at the stars. I wasn t interested in astronomy before, but this is fascinating! I can only speculate about how many stars I might be able to see once I learn how to really use the telescope. My teacher said it is important to make sure your vision is good before looking through a telescope because otherwise it will be hard to focus to see the stars clearly. He said that some of us might need to get spectacles in order to see better. I wasn t sure if I should tell him that these days we usually call them glasses, and not spectacles, but I didn t want to be rude. I suspect I might not get a good grade if I am rude to my teacher! I definitely don t want to disrespect him. In retrospect, it is definitely good that I didn t say anything about the spectacles. Leslie 1. What does it mean to speculate about something?
