"Liar" 2/22/11

So far this book has really made me realize how much lying can cause people to not trust you at all. I do not believe a word Micah says, and it makes it hard to trust her now and wonder if she really is telling the truth after all. I think that some of the parts are true and others she is still lying about. One reason is at the beginning of the book she told us that she was Zach's girlfriend, and now all of a sudden when she talks to the cops, and to Sarah they were never dating. That is what makes me think that she is still lying. So far in the book I dont know if i would recommend it to someone, but we are only half way through and we still don't really know what is going on besides the fact that she used to lie and that Zach was found dead. So I cant really judge it until I am completely finished with it. I think that one reason many people dislike Micah is because she was known for lying so much, and everyone in her own school thinks she is a liar. Another thing im really confused about is; what exactly is the family illness that part always confuses me? Is it the lying, or what exactly is it. Deep down I feel like Micah knows a lot more about Zachs death than she is letting people believe. Not so much that she killed him, but that she might know who did, or she is lying about it. Thats one thing that makes it easy to believe bad, or think negative about someone who lies, because deep down none of us really know who she is, and if she is ever telling us the truth, so for me at least it is easy to believe that she could possibly be the killer, or that she at least knows something about it.

"Liar"

This book we recently started reading is called "Liar." I think the significance of this title is because the main character always lies, or she used to always lie, that is until she decides to tell her story to us by being honest. I think that the main character should be given some kind of praise for being honest with the viewers because she used to always lie and thats a big thing to go from being a liar to telling people she doesnt know her story by being completely honest. I think she must have a reason that she always lied and hopefully we as the readers will figure that out. I think that the reason she decided to share the story by being honest is because a classmate of hers said she was the reason her boyfriend Zack is dead, and I think she feels like she should explain her story by being completely honest, so as people know she did used to lie a lot, but now she is going to tell us the truth. I really like this girl, and I commend her for telling her story as she knows it and for being honest. She could easily lie to us as the readers the entire time and we wouldnt even know, but the fact that she started the  book off by telling us she is a liar and that is all in the past, and that she will tell us what happend by being honest is a big thing. I think she used to lie to the people she knew because then she could be anyone she wanted to, and not the person she saw herself as. A lot of kids I think try and do that, try and make a new person for themselves because they dont like who they are. Im sure her life is far from easy, or that she had a good life, so maybe she thought by lying, or just not telling the truth was something she could do and get away with it, or obviously be good at it and fool everyone. Im very interested in this book already, that I continued on after we were suppose to stop after 65 pages, Im really curious to see who this girl is, and what happend to her boyfriend Zack.
