Week 4
4) Life Choice: To Tell the Truth? [Categories: Life Choice, Making Connections]: Please complete the following:
Introduction In the story What You Don't Know Lulu Wang is faced with a devastating choice of telling her Nainai she has stage four lung cancer where she will live her expected last few months of life in a hospital or not to tell her Nainai that she does not have stage 4 lung cancer, So that she can enjoy her last few months. They then are forced to fake a marriage to all say their goodbyes for Nainai. I will also be writing an argument about if I agree with the option of not telling Nainai, and a narrative of when I once lied to make a major impact on someone's else life. Did you agree with the family's choice to deceive Wang's grandmother? I did not agree with the the family's opinion to not tell Nainai what was happening to her. If I was diagnosed with something terminally ill I believe I have the right to know. I would want to be able to say my goodbyes to my family and I would like to do the things that I have never done before, I would not like to spend my last few expected months in a hospital or not knowing. I would like the spend my last few expected months adventuring the world. I would want to do all the things that I never did with my life such as travel, tell a few people off, and say good bye to my loved ones. You can also tell that Uncle Hai Bin did not believe with the idea that not telling her was the right thing to do, I felt as if Uncle Hai Bin spoke for the entire family in how they all want to tell Nainai, knowing that the should tell Nainai but cant work up the courage to tell Nainai. I also believe want my family to be able to tell me so that they wouldn't all have to be guilty feeling I want want to let them know it's okay. Nainai also could feel the grief of her son just by looking at her son's face I would not want to be able to see that in my sons face I would want to be able to talk to him and from him to even be able to tell me anything before I left. When have you made an important choice to tell someone a difficult truth or you made an important choice to tell a lie that had a major impact on you and/or someone else? When I was a about 5 My brother got a new Gameboy and Pokemon game. He wouldn't let me play his game boy, nor would he even let me touch the Gameboy. A few weeks later he left his game boy on the kitchen table and I took it without asking him. I want to my neighbor's house and played the game. I played the game the entire day, I took the game with us to grocery store with us when his mom went shopping. While we were walking around the Acme I was so into the game and I ran into someone's shopping cart and I dropped the Gameboy. I went to pickup the Gameboy and it turned off I remember being so upset because I haven't saved the game in over a few hours. A few minutes passed and I decided to play the game again, but this time the Gameboy wouldn't turn back on. I started to panic I was so nervous. When we got back to my house I tried throwing out the Gameboy but my mom was in the kitchen cooking so, I ran all the way upstairs and hide the Gameboy under my bed. the second I walked back downstairs my brother asked me if I saw his Gameboy I quickly Answered no, but then I saw my brother continue to look for the Gameboy, for what felt like an hour. I then told him I would help him look for the Gameboy I quickly ran up to my room grabbed the Gameboy and then I went down stairs ran tot he couch and acted like i found it in the couch that he searched 50 times. When he went to play the Gameboy it would turn on. He was furious and then I said hey put new batteries in it acting like that could be the issue but when he did the Gameboy turned right back on! I then thought back and was thinking I was just going to throw up the Gameboy and act like nothing happened.

I am glad to see you submitted your work way ahead of the deadline. You provide a clear position about the family's choice to lie. I wonder how your response might spend more time considering the cultural belief system that informed their decision?

Don, I like your reasoning behind disagreeing with Lulu's family decisions. I agree with what you said, but what stood out to me was that you wouldn't want your family to have the guilty feeling Lulu experienced. I didn't think about that when I was responding to this prompt, but that is very selfless.

I disagree with your point of unfinished business because Lulu's aunt spent a lot of time with Nainai and was sure that she had nothing to do before death. As for your personal story, I got a game boy with Pokemon also when i was younger. I played that game so long haha. And that was very sneaky of you at such a young age. Good planning.

I do believe that everyone may have something to take care of if he is given the limited time.
