I think that the reason why Homer was ready to lie to Mr.Bruster but he finds he can't is because that he thinks he is a really nice guy and that he shouldn't lie to him because I bet Mr.Bruster trusted him and Homer didn't want to lose that trust.Also he wants to start a under ground rail rode so that's one of the reasons why he is a nice guy and another reason why he is a good person is he gave Homer a big dinner unlike Squint he don't give him much to eat.
ReplyDeleteHomer didn’t lie to Mr.Brewster because I think Homer wants to tell the truth not just lie, actually Homer is prepared to lie to Mr. Brewster in order to save himself from Smelt and Stink, but he finds that he can't do that. I think that Homer changes his mind that he does want to lie about it. Homer doesn’t want to get killed by two killers so he needs to lie. Theres two chouses get killed or be free and don't have to be killed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Dominic, and you supported your answer very nicely. Mr. Brewster is very kind in his willingness to feed a stranger like Homer, and, more importantly, to risk being harmed for helping fugitive slaves escape to Canada. Homer seems to recognize this quality in Mr. Brewster and that makes Homer reluctant to lie to Mr. Brewster. Plus Mr. Brewster appears to be smarter than Squint or Stink, and isn't as easily fooled by Homer's fibs.
ReplyDeleteHomer doesn’t lie to Mr. Brewster because he finds out that Mr.Brewster knows a lot more than he thinks. For example, when he tells Homer that he saw Smelt in the woods. Homer also sees that Mr. Brewster is a very kind and honest man. He feels guilty lying to a man who does so many good things. Mr. Brewster tells Homer “the truth shall set you free”. This makes Homer think and want to tell the truth in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think so to Daniel Mr.Brewster dose know a lot more than Homer dose and you are right that he is kind, for example he fed Homer a lot more than Squint and he is not as rood or mean as Squint.So yes I agree with you .
DeleteQ2 What changed Homers mind not to lie to Mr. Brewster was because Homer seas “lying to Mr. Brewster was like lying to god Himself.”Which Homer thinks. Also Homer knew that if he lied that Mr. Brewster would know he was. Seas Homer. Homer knows lying is wrong. If I were Homer I would not lie in the first place.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, I like how you use names of the people, how you have stuff from the text, and evidence from the text to go along with your answers.
ReplyDeleteI think that he doesn't lie to the Brewsters because they’re providing him good food, food like he has never eaten before. Homer also doesn't lie because they’re really nice people and they did not lie so he won’t lie . They have treated him like family when they hardly know him. When they found him starved they picked him up and treated him well.
ReplyDeleteEzra- I agree with your thoughts. It is clear that Homer has more respect for the Brewsters than he does for Squint.

DeleteI think that Homer can't lie to Mr. Brewster because he is a very nice man. Mr. Brewster gave Homer a place to stay for the night and also gave Homer food and drink.
