In this chapter they really are hypocrits, They talk about people as if they know there life story they shouldnt judge a book by its cover. Hypocrite can be put in many examples like People saying their your friends and they are their for you, and behind your back they are always telling people a different story but yet they act the same with you. Or you can pretend you like someone just because you want something from them and once you get that you just leave and act like nothing ever happend. Hypocite is basically people that have two or more sides to them and their storys they have and they are really not the best people to have around you all the time. They arent trust worthy.
In chapter 16 Its hypocritical to go to church when you have basically dont believe in it or do the things your supposed to like little tree and granpa they never read the bible anymore and grandpa judges alot, Also how they talk about how the fat guy is rich just because he has different suits every sunday and the clothing they wear or the way they act and because they have a car and yet in church they act like they all love each other and they are actually brother and sister.
