Reading Response to a book

   The book I chose to read was "The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney". What I'm gonna be focusing on in this Reading Response is how a small lie can turn into multiple lies. The book is about how a girl thought one harmless lie would go away. But it didn't.

    One observation i learned was that you shouldn't lie. Because you'll always suffer consequences. It's because when Devon lied to her friend Lexi about how she is popular at her school, even though peple barely know her at school. She told her that she was going out with Jared Bently because hes the popular boy in school. And he doesn't even know she exist. She also told Lexi that she hangs out with the popular kids at school, but they didnt know she existed.Devon thought that she would probably never see Lexi again so that's why she told her all those lies. But then on the first day of school Devon was tight because Lexi showed up.

   Another observation i saw is that only saying sorry would let people for forgive you. You have to prove to them that you actually mean it when you say sorry. In the book Devon said sorry and expected to be forgiven. But she realized that she actually had to do something. Like when Lexi forgave her she told Jared to ask out Lexi , and that proved to Lexi that maybe Devon was sorry.

 The text relates to the real-world because when you say a small lie, and you don't want to say the truth, your just gonna have to make up more &more lies.One small lie can lead to 50 other lies. I think that before you lie about something you should think about it.
