Mark Twain uses satire in his essay. Satire is the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like in exposing, denouncing or deriding vice, folly. Twain provides six items of advice to the youth. Always obey your parents, be respectful to your superior, go to bed early;getup early, never handle firearms carelessly, be careful about lying. Obeying is the best policy according to Twain because if I don't they will make I. Most parents think they know better than I do, and I can generally make more by humoring that superstition than I can by acting own better judgment. Twain instructed the youth to avoid firearms and violence. Twain says don’t I meddle with old unloaded firearms ; they are the most deadly and unerring things that have ever been created by man. He'd rather no one set a hand on a gun to aim it at no one. Playing with firearms is very dangerous. He also says to be very careful about lying ; otherwise I am nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, I can never again be in...

There are many lies told each day, those that do not affect the masses and those that do. Montaigne's Essay "on liars", states that no one is not conscious of having a sound memory should set up to be a liar. Liars either invent the whole thing, or they change the facts around. If a liar makes up a story, they apparently have much less reason to be afraid of tripping up. There is always going to be consequences for a person that lies if they do not know how to lie. If a lie is told, or is worded as propaganda, it may cause all kinds of consequences — even killing and causing nations to go to war. If a person tells the truth, they don't have to remember anything. Lying leads to killing , dislike, attitude, behavior issues and fights. A good liar should have an excellent memory. They should remember every detail of the lie. A good liar has to be careful to whom they lie to. If they lie to the wrong person, they might get hurt, killed, arrested or injured. A bad liar w...

A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly. There are four types of lies. Which is fear, habit, modelling and overprediction. Most children lie because they're afraid of the consequences that maybe given. A child is very sentimental about things. No child enjoys getting punished. To try to avoid their punishment they will try to avoid the punishment with a lie. Lying can also become a habit formed through constant practice. A person could be use to lying about every little thing. From one time a child lied, it can become a habit. Children Tend to look up to older people. Many children have a role model. So if the person that a child looks up to lies all the time, the child might pick up these bad habits and start to lie. Children learn to lie though experiencing other lies. C hildren also lie because they overpredict a reaction. Because a child thought that the mother was going to tell them no they lie to try to...

"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see" by Benjamin Franklin. I b elieve the above quote means if a person happens to hear something, its not always guarantee correct or accurate until there's proof to back it up. Many people over hear conversations every day. I had times in my life where I've over heard conversations and thought that I heard something but all along I had the wrong information. I've also have times in my life that I thought that I seen something but really didn't. My eyes sometimes play tricks on me. If I happened to see something, I believe in what you saw but to a certain extent. There are some people out in this world that most likely have a quote or piece of writing that they're very interested in. Quotes to me make me think to a another extent. I enjoy analysing quotes. It keeps me thinking and focus. My favorite quote for about several years already is "Don't worry about people in your past, t...
