I Believe Speech

“Tell the Truth”

By: Anthony Gonzalez 

Have you ever told a lie that has completely backfired on you? Well that has happened to me before. After that situation I believe that you should always tell them truth right away. Cause if you don't tell the truth right away it can really backfire on you, and you can some consequences

I was looking for an excuse for not doing the homework for the that, but I finally came up with the perfect one. It was that my internet was not working, when it worked I was completely surprised. It worked so good that I had decided to use that same excuse a second time, but this time I wasn’t so lucky. This time the teacher, had asked for my parents phone numbers so she can contact them and talk to them about the “internet problems”.

The class that I didn't do the homework for was my accelerated ELA class. The teacher of the ELA class was Mrs. Larson. This event had happened to me during the 7th Grade. It had occurred like about December or January.

This had happened for one reason and for one reason only. The reason why I lied saying my internet wasn't working because of the fact that I never understood the homework. But instead of asking questions I just lied saying that my internet was down.

With this experience I learned one really important lesson. That lesson is that to just tell the truth right away, because if you don’t the lie can really backfire on you, and you can get some serious consequences. After this had happened it really changed. It had resulted in me usually not lying about why I did not do my homework. It also resulted in me not wanting to tell lies about why I didn't do my homework, and just tell the truth right away. I will apply this into the future, by just doing my homework.

So after everything I learned that if you should just tell the truth right away, or if you are going to lie make sure that it does not backfire on you.

Trash

So far throughout the book “Trash” by Andy Mulligan, a lot has happened. Currently the boys are on the run, and they are escaping the police. They have been on the run since the day after the left the prison, because the officials from the prison have contacted the Behala police. Before leaving Behala they only have a little bit of time in order to get the rest of Rat’s money. After a while of being on the run the decide to  buy Gabriel Olondriz bible from a police officer, but in order for them to buy it of the police they need to pay $20,000 pesos. In order to get that money Rat goes back to Behala and steals from Father Juilliard. Right after stealing the money Rat goes back to Raphael and Gardo, right away Gardo goes to meet with the police officer to get the back. After Gardo g to the Bible and gets up to leave he realizes that it's a trap and runs away. The next day the police officers track them down to the place they were staying at and the chase starts up again.

After finishing reading the past few chapters I have a few questions. One of the questions is why Rat is so far away from his home country. I know that he says that he left because he was sent away, but he really never explains why he was sent to Behala. Another question that I have is that are ever going to actually find the money. I have this question because they have been looking for the money for a few chapters now, and I'm kind of starting to doubt whether they are going to find it. My final question is that if they do find the money what are they going to do with that money.

While reading the book I have liked characters and hated characters, and the character that I hate the most is Senator Zapatana. The reason why he is chapter that I hate the most is for mainly one reason. That reason is because he basically stole money from his country, by keeping the money that other countries gave to them all to himself. Currently my favorite character is Raphael. The reason why Raphael is my favorite character because of the fact that he seems like a really down to earth kid, and kind of acts like any normal kids would act.
