Is it OK to lie? (Draft)

There were many lies in the book Trash, and it was mostly told by the boys that live in the dump site, for example Raphael told the police that he didn't find a bag but found a shoe and Rat lied about that he had no money but actually he had full box of it and he was saving it for the faire to go to his city. Also dump site boys lied to Father Juilliard about using computer, they have told Father Juilliard that they are solving a newspaper puzzle but they were actually searching information about Jose Angelico.

Boys in the dump site lied a lot, but the police lied as well as them. The police lied about the promising to give reward to the person who finds the bag the police lied about giving reward because if there is a reward many people will try to find it.

Is it ok to lie? In my opinion it’s ok for the boys to lie that live in the dumpsite because they have nothing much, all they have is them self and they need to survive. Surviving with only truth is really hard
