Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
“Perception is reality. If you are perceived to be something, you might as well be it because that’s the truth in people’s minds.” - Steve Young. Perception is the truth. Whatever way you look at it, you believe that's the truth. Bruno’s perception is shaped by the way he looks at his life. His dad is making them move and he doesn’t explain why or how long they are going to be gone. He just says its for his job. Bruno would know that the move is bad if he had a view of what his dad was doing there. Truth is the quality or state of being true. Bruno’s perception of the truth is that they are just moving. If he knew that they are moving to go help his dad be the commandant of the concentration camp and lives would be lost. Truth about the place would differ. “‘If the commandant asks, we’ll say that I cleaned Bruno up.’ Which seems terribly selfish to Bruno and a way for mother to take credit for something she hadn't done.” The evidence from the text does a good job showing three different perceptions and how it shapes the truth. Perception does shape truth.

Girl, Stolen by April Henry
“We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.” -Stephen Covey. Griffin kidnapped Cheyenne’s car without knowing that she was in the back of the car. She is blind. Two perceptions are showed and the truth about the kidnapping is different. Griffin perception on the situation is that his dad made him steel the car to show his braveness. He did it so he wouldn't have to get beat by his father, Roy. Griffin think that it was all a mistake and know he has to figure out what he is going to do about the situation. Cheyenne’s perception is that a dangerous, gross, and illegal family kidnapped her and that she is the victim. She also knows about Griffins situation and doesn’t think that makes it right. Which it doesn’t. There are two victims in the story. Only one victim is noticed. Everyone's perception is that the family is horrible and that Cheyenne is kidnapped and they all should go to jail. Nobody know the TRUTH about the other victim. If they did their perception would be shaped differently. At the end of the book Cheyenne's perception changes a little she sees the good in Griffin and after everything takes his dog. 'Yeah, Duke. I begged my parents until they hired a dog trainer to find him in the woods and then work with him here. A women. He still doesn't like men very much.' This evidence shows that some people can change their perception for the best and the way you look at the perception shapes the truth even if your blind. Perceptions changes what you perceive and your reality.

Perception By Scarlet Keiller
He sat at his window
And looked out at the world.
What he saw terrified him
So he ran away,
But he was always drawn back to that same window.
That's the way it always was with him.
She walked out of her front door
And embraced the world
With open-armed eagerness.
What she saw excited her,
And she happily continued on her way.
That's the way it always was with her.
He sat alone at school,
Afraid of the darkness he saw in others
And the anger and hatred that pulsed through them
Like black blood in rotted veins.
They were all evil to him,
Because that's the way he always saw them.
She looked at everyone
With happiness in her eyes.
She couldn't help but see
The astonishing beauty of others
Wherever she went.
They were all perfect to her,
Because that's the way she always saw them.
While he only ever looked into the darkness,
She glanced up into the light,
And maybe all of the evil in his world
Could be washed away by the beauty in hers.
