This novel brings up the question whether or not it is better to know or not to know.
Which do you prefer? Think about Sarah Byrnes’s life and then your own, would you prefer to
know the truth about everything, or to just let what information may hurt you stay unknown?
If I were Sarah Brynes I think it would be better to know then not to know. I think this because If she didn't know what her father did she would beileve him. In which case she would not have a reason to fear him, and that is not good becuase Mr. Brynes is dangerous and willing to hurt her. In my own life I would prefer not to know because I would then not fell the pain or betrayal of the truth.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes I think I would want to know because I could get over it if its bad or I could do something about it. If Sarah didn't remember her mom leaving and her dad hurting her and burning her face I think she would be fine and not afraid. In some cases I would like to not know but in most cases I would want to know even if it hurt me.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes I think I would want to know. I would want to know the truth because then I could realize that my dad burned me, he was not a very good person, and also when he was getting worse. Then I could do what she did in the book when she went to the hospital. I think that choice saved her. In my own life I would not want to always know the truth, because of all the possible pain that could come from the truth.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes, I would want to know because some people really are evil and have no love to give. At least by knowing the truth shes better prepared to watch out for herself, and to deal with the harsh reality.
ReplyDeletei think if I were Sarah Byrnes, I would want to know. It would tell me that my dad is not a very good person, that is something that I would want to know. Then, if I did know everything, then I could try to make it better. It would help me deal with hard times in the future. So I think that I would want to know.
ReplyDeleteIf i were Sarah Byrnes I would want to know the truth. It would give her the knowledge to know that some people you can't change like her dad. Also if i were in her position I would want to know the truth about my mother and why she didn't want to save me from that cruel man. I would also be able to face the problems from my mean dad and try to get him away and stay away.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes, I would definitely want to know. I think she deserves to know the truth about why her mother didn't come back and rescue her from her father. Even though the truth might hurt, I feel that it is better for her to know so she is better informed about the situation.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes I would most certainly want to know. When you know then you can watch you back and be prepared. If my father made the actions of Virgil Byrnes I would definitely want to be informed. As well as if my mother never came back for me I would like to know her reasoning, even if it killed to know after.
ReplyDeleteI prefer not to know. When I know, I stress over things and can't concentrate on what I'm doing. On the other hand, if I were Sarah Byrnes I would want to know the truth about why my mother didn't come back to save me. Also how and why my father is always so angry. I think giving Sarah Byrnes answers will give her a clear answer to all her problems.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes, I would most definitely want to know. When you know then you can do something about whatever it is that's happening. I would want to know why my father was always so mad. I would also what to know about why her mother didn't come back to save me from my father. I think if Sarah always knows what's happening or has happened she can always figure out a solution to any of her problems.
ReplyDeleteI would want to know because the truth would be better even if it hurts sometimes. Eventually you would figure out the lie and it would end up hurting more than the truth would. I would also want to know other peoples story such Sarah Byrnes, so you know she has had a rough life. If I were Sarah Byrens I would want to know for sure. She knows now to watch out for her dad because she knows he is crazy.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Brynes I think it would be better to know then not to know. I think this because If she didn't know what her father did she would believe him. In which case she would not have a reason to fear him, and that is not good because if she did not fear him and she was living with her dad he could hurt her even more than she is already. In my life i would like to know because then i know how to deal with things faster then others in some situations.
ReplyDeleteThis novel brings up the question weather it is better to know or not to know. I believe it is better to know than not to know. If I was in Sarah Byrnes's position I would want to know every thing that people are keeping from me. If Sarah Byrnes did not go to Reno and find out that her mother didn't love her she would still be emotionally attached to her mother. If she was still attached to her mother she would not want to be adopted by Mrs.and Mr. Lemry. By knowing the truth another door opened for her.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah Byrnes, I would rather know the full story even if it could hurt. Sarah should know the truth about her dad and what he did to her. It would be dangerous if Sarah didn't because he could hurt people in a physical way. Even with the fear of this danger, I would rather know what I’m up against. I feel like that way I can make better choices by knowing what is going on.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Sarah I would want to know so that I could get help or something, instead of loving and trusting him. It would be scary for Sarah not to know because then she would never know if he wanted to hurt her again. I would want to know even if it hurt a lot i would want to know than rather not knowing a big chunk of my life.
