What makes a good liar

There are many people who can lie and many who can't. A good liar is always suppose to give eye contact and not fidget to much. A bad liar tends to look around the room and ignore eye contact. If I want to be a good liar, the number one thing I would need to have is good memory. A good liar should always have good memory. If the lair has the memory, then he won't be able to lie because he would remember what he lied about. If a liar doesn't have good memory, then he would for get what he lied about and wouldn't come out with a good lie. A good liar must remember his lie and never switch his story. If you for get your lie, then people will know you lied and never trust you again. According to Montaigne's Essay ''On Liars,'' you have to be careful on what you lie about. Lying can get you in serious trouble. It can start fights and may end up friendships if possible. Mark Twain is a writer who sees life in a different point of view. He agrees that lying is very bad. In the poem he wrote, he is explaining that when he lies, he tells the truth. If you lie and tell the truth, then you have good memory. Mark is explaining that lies are not needed, and he always prefers the truth.     

''If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.''  This quote by Mark Twain means you don't have to remember what lie you told because if you tell the truth, then you don't have to remember anything because your not lying.
