This chapter really got me thinking about how easily I trust people. If there were a scale, I\u2019d say I\u2019m somewhere on the middle. Initially, I go with my gut; however, time and actions are the real determinants of whether I trust someone or not. In Werewolf we had no time to eye everyone, interrogate anyone, it was all snap-judgement after snap-judgement, and (as Hyewon can probably confirm) I\u2019m very bad at those! Not to mention, there was the definite possibility that three people in the class were acting\/lying. Fisher makes trust seem like the most obvious choice in the world, but we saw in class yesterday how hard it can be in social contexts with multiple people. The game changes and the group either turns in on itself or hunts a scapegoat. Maybe, in some convoluted way, trusting everyone is the secret to the game\u2026 I can\u2019t see it though.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter seven hit close to home for me because I was raised with \u201ctreat others as you want to be treated\u201d as a mantra. Even now, I\u2019ll recall something I said and ask myself: would I have wanted to hear that? However, Mrs. B and D took different stances on that same issue. Mrs. D being the act and Mrs. B being the reward or punishment. It\u2019s basically karma, or what karma is perceived to be in a simple sense. I really liked how Fisher tied forgiveness and apologies into this chapter rather than coming at it from the \u201cso long as you do that, every relationship will be peachy!\u201d angle, because that\u2019s unrealistic. People have different standards, how you\u2019d like to be treated may be entirely different from how another wants to be treated. What you see as funny may come off as rude to other (something I\u2019ve found to be a very common disconnect). Still, I don\u2019t think there are many people who don\u2019t want apologies, even if they\u2019re slow to accept them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think yesterday\u2019s game of Werewolf ties into chapter six of Len Fisher\u2019s Rock, Paper, Scissors perfectly.
