Blog 24: Chapter 1 in The Body of Christopher Creed

Christopher Creed was the class outcast and a geek no one understood or wanted to understand. Everyone victimized Christopher Creed at some point, including Torey. Once Christopher Creed is missing, Torey finds himself regretting his own behavior that he showed towards Christopher Creed and everyone else's behavior toward him. When Torey says "People can love their lies, tell their own lies, believe their own lies until hell pays a visit," he means that you can lie to yourself all you want, but at some point you will be faced with the truth. As hard as Torey tried to forget Christopher Creed, the memories would come back to him. He says this to convince the reader that the story he is about to tell is absolutely true; that he does not intend to lie about it no matter how difficult and that he will tell the whole story and the truth is the point to the story.
