Twilight - Lie

Everyone lied at least once in their life, but not all the lies are same. There are many different kinds of lies and different reasons. In this book, Twilight, there's an significant lie to save both of their lives. Also some lies can hurt people so badly. For example, when Bella had to leave to Phoenix escaping from James and keeping her father, Chalie, safe, she had to lie that she is tired of his unstruggling for family. And it hurted Chalie a lot. Bella said, "I could think of only one way to escape, and it involved hurting him so much that I hated myself for even considering it. But I had no time, and I had to keep him safe." So she had to lie for herselves and Chalie's safe. Instead saving their lives, she had to hurt one whom she love so much. Comparing to 'atonoment' which had a little girl's lie for her jealousy, this is forgivable. Because in atonoment, she lied for her own benifit and it totally ruined two lover's lives and love.
