There are multiple sins explained throughout the book. One is when Tim goes to Tom Warrup's home to visit Sam. I do agree this is a sin because he lied and said he was going to help Jerry Sanford with something. Second, Tim says he is daydreaming, and daydreaming is sloth. I disagree that daydreaming is a sin because I believe everyone has the right to dream and imagine what they want to do. Third, Tim says he was too lazy to fix the basket, and laziness is sloth. I disagree that being lazy is a sin, but it's still not a good thing. Finally, when Tim asks if Sam has been getting drunk with girls at college, and Sam says, no, that drunkeness is a sin. I agree that drunkeness is a sin because you are basically killing your body slowly.

Four examples of sinful acts are boasting, sloth, sloth, drunkeness. I believe that not all, but most are sins because being boast and sloth is something you can't help, but if your drunk it could be a sin because you decide to do it.

1.- Cuando el Padre se oponia a que Sam fuera un Rebelde porque el era muy conformista y no queria meterse en problemas.
2.- Cuando Tim Iba a llevar la carta y Betsy queria saber lo que decia la carta.
3.- Cuando Tim estaba mintiendo para llevar la carta y lo descubrieron.
4.- Cuando el Padre se muere y Tim ve a Sam y Sam sabe que los Britanicos lo van a matar.

The first sin is when he eavesdrops on father. I agree that this is a sin you should not eavesdrop on people. Tim curses at Sam and Becky. Tim breaks the Sabbath and disobeying father.

There are many sins in the book My Brother Sam is Dead. I will list just four of them. One of the sins is disobedienc. The second one of the sins is lying to people.The third sin is rudeness. The very last sin that happened in this book is attempted murder. These are all sins and agree that they are all sins because yo u should never even think about doing things like this. Except maybe lying!!!

Throughout the story many things are considered sins that Tim and Sam do. One of the sin that Tim mentions is getting drunk, such as Sam getting drunk at college.I do think that getting drunk is a sin at his college campus. Another one he says is lying when going fishing, and I do think lying to your parents is a sin no matter what reasons it is for. Having pride as in baosting with pride is another sin mentioned, but I don's think pride is a sin beacuse we have to have some pride. A last thing that tim mentions is being a sloth but I dont consider sloth as sin.

Four sins that Tim does in the book was that he lied to his parents, he works on sunday, gets drunk, and cursing. I disagree with everything but curseing because he had a good reason.

One of the sins is lying to your paents I think It is worng because lying to your parents shows that you do not trust him. Also curseing i agree because curseing could lead you to the worng. The thrid on is working on Sunday I disargee because some times you have to work. The fourth is disresing your parents.
