Lies, Lies, Lies

When a mother has to handle matters regarding the family alone you may see her doing some weird things. The mother from, “When the Emperor was Divine” did something’s that made me question her as a mother. But then I had to put myself in her shoes and I came to the conclusion that I would probably do the same thing to preserve the innocence of my children. And she goes through great depths to do so.

When she is packing up the home to leave for the Internment Camps she makes it seem as though they are going on a vacation. When in fact they are being held as prisoners by the United States Government. But one of the very interesting points that were brought up in class was the thematic point of the book is White Lies.

Sometimes a lie isn’t going to hurt anybody so that is why it is so easy to tell them. Mostly Everybody lives by the phrase that as long as there is no harm done, then it doesn’t matter. And I guess I can attest to that too.
