1. In life, many cynics believe that the only person that an individual can completely trust is oneself. Why do you agree/ disagree with this philosophy? After reading chapter seventeen, do you think Torey should adopt this philosophy? Provide evidence from the book for your response.

I agree with this philosophy because it is a true you cant fully trust anyone but yourself. Even if your really close with someone you could not tell if they are lying are not. Yourself is the only to know if you are lying are not. Torey should adopt this because he tried trusting a scumbag, Bo. Like trusting him to get the diary in the Creed's house without getting caught. If he didnt trust him like he shouldn't then he would of never gotten into trouble.
