What activity helps Francie avoid telling lies?
cupoosta [38]

The activity that helps Francie avoid telling lies is mindfulness. She is the protagonist of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." The book tells the story of Francie from the time she is 11 until she goes to college at 17. Although she struggles with many problems throughout the book (alcoholism, poverty, family problems, etc.) the novel ultimately contains a message of hope. The novel also discusses the dreams of immigrant families in the United States during the early twentieth century.
