She told Betty that Ruth got more than hurt she lost her eye and she is half blind. Annabelle was getting bullied by the antagonist, Betty Glengarry. Toby was walking by and saw that Betty was bullying her and leaped into action by telling Betty to stay away from Annabelle. This made Betty furious and this caused her to make Toby the target of the attacks. First off, Betty told her grandparents that Toby meant to throw the rock to Mr. Ansel because he was German. Betty knew that she was lying because she was the one who threw the rock to get Toby in trouble. Annabelle wanted really badly to prove to everyone that Betty was lying and she was the one who throws the rock at Ruth. A few chapters later the police discover a picture of Annabelle and Ruth talking to Mr. Ansel in Toby’s house. Supposedly, this meant that Toby was the one who threw the rock at them. Annabelle insisted that this didn’t mean that he threw the rock. “But this doesn’t mean anything, I said. ‘Just because he took that picture doesn’t mean he threw the rock” (Wolk 123).

If Nora only wanted to go to the South to shop, she would have been wrong to lie under her dying father name on the bond. In actuality, these were not the cases. As a result, lying is, in fact, justified under the right circumstances.

  • Wolf Lies Down Essay

    According to Karl N. Llewellyn and E. Adamson Hoebel, making new laws in our societies helps us to become more discipline and safe and it also prevents us from crimes such as rape, sexual assault or harassment, violent crime fraud, robbery, murder etc due to a larger society which Hoebel called “heterogeneous”. Many people in the modern society can not make their own decisions without hearing or listening to the people in power such as the government (legislatures), police, lawyers/ judges. Just like the “Cheyenne community”, the community they come to together to solve conflicts between individuals by involving individuals or the community as a whole for the protection of themselves.

    An artwork will consist of different elements that artists bring together to create different forms of art from paintings, sculptures, movies and more.

In the painting Twilight in the Wilderness created by Frederic Edwin Church in 1860 on page 106, a landscape depicting a sun setting behind rows of mountains is seen. In this painting, Church used specific elements to draw the viewer’s attention directly to the middle of the painting that consisted of the sun.
