Blog post #5- Best sellers

·         I feel as if the book is a great story, it is selling good, giving the author money, and the people reading it is okay then why not lie about it being non-fiction. The main reason for books are to entertain and to amuse people… If they wanted to learn about something, fore say the holocaust then they can go and get a history textbook. As Janet says, that she does not care if it is true or not as long as it is a good story and I agree with her.

 

·         I think that half-truths are completely fine, as if they’re giving you a good story why not lie or tweak it a little bit? Some of it is still true so the author is not completely lying nor completely telling the truth he was more of making a good story and adding/taking away some things to make the story better and more engaging.

 

 

 

·         I think that David is right because honestly are we looking for truth in a story or are we looking for a good engaging story? I feel like people over reacted a lot and they shouldn’t have because when you read it you though “oh wow this is a great story” and then once you found out he lied everyone was mad but you wouldn’t have known unless you did all the research. Books shouldn’t be labeled, they are all there to entertain you not to tell the truth.
