Recommended: Crime drama genre

I believe the title for the novel, The Truth, is a great fit for the meaning of this fiction story. In the book, Chris, a protective brother, finds himself in a darkened basement. He is tied to a chair securely and cognized why this happened. Chris has gone though a lot in the past, just eight days ago a burglar broke into his home, and a finds a dead thirteen- year-old runaway dead on his kitchen floor. At the mysterious place he appears, Chris is aware that he has been abducted by his brother Derek. His brother needs proof, that he is not a killer, and every time he tells a lie, Derek cuts off his finger.

    Most people are likely to relate Hollywood with money. If a person lives in the Hollywood area, people assume she or he is probably rich. If she or he is a Hollywood movie star, the person probably makes a lot of money. Therefore, to follow that line of thought, when Hollywood producers make a movie, they make it just for money. And some filmmakers do seem to make films only for the money the movies will earn. The action movie "Die Hard", the fantasy movie "Star Wars", and the adventure movie "Jurassic Park" are examples of exciting movies that were made just for the money by satisfying the audiences' appetite for escapism.

As much as Kristof attempts to present The Third Lie as the reliable conclusion to the prior books in the trilogy, this new material causes the reader to be skeptical of these facts and wonder whether Lucas or Claus is believable, after all, neither brother share the same information.

    “Artists use lies to tell the truth” (V for Vendetta). This passage can be related to all storytelling, whether it is in movies, poems or novels- authors and creators of such a story use certain lies to tell the truth. No matter how great the truth my sound to one person, that same story could be irrelevant to others, making it not enjoyable to watch or read. When a reader picks up a book, does the story give a vague description of what occurred? Or does the author give minute details on every page? We read books and marvel over movies to get away from reality; why? Because reality expresses the truth bluntly and with no sense of detail, while fiction turns reality and the truth into poetry.

    Throughout history, it has often been the victor’s point of view or story that is told but does this make it true?
