I noticed that this poem uses correct punctuation. I think that the life lesson that this story is trying to tell is that you should appreciate your loved ones, (the little boy should appreciate his mother, because now he's stuck with a strict grandmother). Despite what the child says, I think that the grandma isn't just mean, but actually cares about him because of her concern when he got cut.

The writer's mother is in the hospital and his grandma is watching him. You can tell that the writer is scared of his grandma because if he is 2 minutes late from play then she whips him into a seat. You can also tell that the grandma doesn't really know how to parent because when the writer gets a cut she doesn't know what to do so she has him go to school and ask the nurse what to do.

It is a narrative poem and it seems to be in a perspective of a kid. The grandma seems to be old, cranky, and strict. It even states how she is strict and spanks and gives the kids time outs. The kid seems to be afraid of him and I would hate to have that grandmother. Then the kid lies to the grandmother about not asking a nurse at school and says what to do, like his mom would but switches some things around because he doesn't want some thing to burn him. He is lying for himself, but in that situation I would probably lie to. I don't like the gradmother.

"The Lie" by Donald Graves is about a kid that is talking about his life.
He or she is going through a rough time. His mom is in the hospital and his or her's grandma is mean. Then he or she was remembering what the doctor would say to her and what she would do

"The Lie" by Donald Graves is filled with emotion. Sad, lost emotion. The narrator of this poem is going through a rough time with their mother having an operation, and their grandma treating them like they're worthless. I can imagine the grandmother gripping their wrist and swinging them into the chair. I would not want to be this character.
