If I was mean to a friend and found out he was sick and was embarressed I would feel really bad. But charlie shouldn;t because he couldn't help saying something mean.
On page 68, when the witch says"You longed for truth but weren't brave enough to give it",it means that the person(the time the skull was living)took a long time to look for truth but wasn't brave enough to tell the witch that that she was ugly.
in part 2 on question #1 i do think that Ipromse is more imporant than i will do it because i promise means i will do it no dought about it, but like when your mom says go clean your room you will pobally say i will but you won't but usually when you say i promise i'll clean my room you usually do it
on question #2 i think it is good to be truthfull because then you have a chance not to lie and get introuble. I don't think you should ever be untruthfull.
in some cases it is ok to be untruthful because if someone askes you if like something that they made or that they have if you say no it might offend them
I THINK IT IS GOOD TO HAVE AN OPTION TO TELL THE TRUTH BEACUSE PART OF BEING POLITE IS TO NOT TELL THE ENTIRE TRUTH THAT YOU THINK OF SOMEONE SINCE IT MIGHT BE A BAD THOUGHT
on question #3 part 4 chapter 13 is a bittersweet event because the people who are in charge of the swamp are probbally not going to drain the swamp, but at the end the skull is out of the newspaper and lost. I wonder what is going to happen next. I think that the skull is going to be somewhere like at his house or at the store where he goy it i really wan't to find out where the skull actually is.
2) i do think it was a good idea for Chrlie and Karen to sneak Yorick into the meeting about the swamp because then Mr.Evans would have to say something bad about draining the swamp if someone asked him to say somethig bad about the swamp.
No, i don't think it is a good idea for Karen and Charlie to sneek Yorick in to the meeting at the swamp, because look what happend to the skull know it is lost and out of the newspaper and gone
I was suprised about charlie having the power to get the truth from other people. The reason I was suprised because was he used to lie before he got yoric and with yoric he was forced to tell the truth. that would be power that I would want becuase no one could lie to me and that would be awesome.
This is for part five(: The main themes in this story are to tell the truth,but if it will hurt someones feelingsand is unnessisary to tell,it is alright to "fib". ex. when charlie said that gilberts bald head made him look ridiculous ]: If he didn't have the curse he could have said he looked good[: Also to alwase do what you believe in!!!! ex.sticking up for tuckers swamp(: I think charlie learned that lieing is bad from the scull]:
Now that Charlie doesn't have Yoric I think he will still tell the truth. He has learned his leesson about the telling the truth. But if the truth is hurtfull to someone else he will lie.
3) I was not surprised at all about Charlie getting the power to get the truth from people because he learrned to be truthful[: Even without the scull. I would notwant that power, it would not be fair for others.
i think the main themes are lessons one good lesson was about the truth charlie learned to tell the truth when the skull hypnottyzedhim to take him out of the store the skull had a curse that made the owner tell the truth.
i think that charlie will do a little bit of lie and truth because he was born wih the personality of lying but i stil think that he will tell the truth because of this big lesson with the skull.
Yes I do think he will tell the truth more because the skull put him through a lot of bad stuff. An example was when he told the truth to Gilbert about how doofy he looked with his head bald.
3) i was surprised yjat Charlie got the power to make someone tell the truth. that would be an AWESOME power because then you could force someone yo tell the truth about something that he wants to keep a secret.

i agree mike,the skull was like forcing him to be mean
no i dont agree with the skull that humans do things
Kevin, what do you mean about your last comment- i'm not sure what you are talking about...
On page 68, when the witch says"You longed for truth but weren't brave enough to give it",it means that the person(the time the skull was living)took a long time to look for truth but wasn't brave enough to tell the witch that that she was ugly.
Miss Palmer,i mean when the skull says that humans are vile, Rotten, And Sensitive.
I would feel really bad. one reason why is because wouldnt want to make his day any worse.
sorry I was talking about question 1.
On Questoin 3 i do agree with the skull that most humans are low, vile, rotten, and fine and sensitive. Because humans can be nice and mean.
in part 2 on question #1 i do think that Ipromse is more imporant than i will do it because i promise means i will do it no dought about it, but like when your mom says go clean your room you will pobally say i will but you won't but usually when you say i promise i'll clean my room you usually do it
on question #2 i think it is good to be truthfull because then you have a chance not to lie and get introuble. I don't think you should ever be untruthfull.
kenev you are right it is noot good to lie. And other people don't like it when you lie to them.
for question one I think people can just lie even when they promise. theres no difference to me. most people do that crossy thing.
in some cases it is ok to be untruthful because if someone askes you if like something that they made or that they have if you say no it might offend them
It would be ok to lie if someone had cancer and their hair fell our to say that it doesn't look bad

when charlie decided to shave his head i think he did that good because he shouldn't of made him feel bad.

2)
I think that he will keep what he learned and use it because he has been through alot): He even met truth(: He knows lieing is bad.
The main theme in this story is not to lie. Charlie learned that you should tell the truth unless it is mean to someone else.
