STEPS FOLLOWED

 

         First of all I went to this page and then I clicked on “ begin”. The story started.

        

         The first quote that appears is the same for all people who reads “Lies”:

    

         “Lies tell you more about a person than the truth does. Lies tell you what a person wants to be, rather than what they are. Lies are dreams,

         lies are fantasy. Who wants to live the truth, when you can live a lie?”   

 

         CLICK ON TRUTH

 

         Then the story shows us it is about a couple and the boy is who narrates the story. They met each other for a whole year.  They live together

          in their apartment and the coexistence is getting difficult because of their continuous lies. Both of them have journals.

 

         CLICK ON LIES

 

         He explains they have codes to avoid saying “to lie”. They call it “to dance”. To “ enjoy rums and cokes” is to enjoy telling your lies and

         crying over it. He says that these codes help them to have more trust between them.

         Also they have other codes, for example, “summer lover” which is the word for their journals. They began with the journals when they started

         writting letters to each other. “Cheating” is used for saying they are writting each other and “Sleeping with their summer lovers” means to

         fantasize about having sex in their journals. She gave her journal human characteristics.

          Her summer lover was Antoine who is tall and dark, rides a motorcycle and only wears t-shirts and blue jeans. He is a writer.

          His summer lover is Gabriella who is redhead, younger than him, a very good listener but a not very good speaker.

          He says that all this started when he called on July 25. She was in her room, drinking a few bottles of wine with some friends, and she told

          him she was “dancing”. Now he has found two letters, one for him and one for Antoine. His letter said all the things she had been doing

          over the summer and Antoine’s letter explained why she was lying him. She was laughing at him.

         She wanted to give creativity to her lovers. Antoine’s writing had improved a lot and had become more passionate. In the letter she wrote

         to him, she talked about one of her friends who took a writer to a park. Her friend read poetry to him. She explained to Antoine that her lies

         had been simple but close to the truth.

         While the sky is growing light, she writes: “ Have you ever smelled a sunrise? The best painters can smell a sunrise, and their sunrises too

         smell. It isn’t a yellow and orange smell like you might imagine, its the smell of life. It is a red smell.  Writing it, she fell asleep.

 

         CLICK ON LIES

 

         This is the way the story ends: The simple truth is that the two main characters find that they can be happy together despite the mistakes

         they both made over the summer. They decide to move in together. They argue occasionally.
