Free Choice response- Liar
As I continue to read liar I start to notice a lot of different things. The author wants us readers to feel and understand the same feelings Micah feel dealing with Zach’s death. I notice that when she start thinking about him the author tries to make us feel emotional as well. The way she expresses herself I could feel what she is feeling and how she is coping with it. The text tackles around a lot of unanswered questions I still want to know. Its extremely hard to put down the book because I would like to continue on and find out what’s a lie and what isn’t. Leaving us readers with big questions unanswered such as the truth about her dad and his father, or about the simplest things like her great uncle being dead it remind us how untrustworthy she is. The strangest part in the novel so far is when Micah continues to lie to the detectives and also get her father lying to save her from going to the station, it’s like no matter who you are Micah isn’t afraid of anything or anyone. I also find it weird that everyone who is considered to be close to Zach left his funeral. As I continue on I hope that Micah decides to unravel the truth.

Thats pretty cool how you feel when you read. I'm an analytical reader. I think I look way to far into things sometimes when I read. I think I may be missing out.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I'm an "emotional" reader, too. (Isn't Adam's comment interesting?)
ReplyDeleteI think reading this book is as much about the text as it is about the effect the text has on you...especially when considering an unreliable narrator.
I agree with the fact that the book keeps you on the edge and you dont know whats a lie and what isnt. With that said though im also having a hard time understanding the book sometimes, because of her plethora of lies haha plethora(vocab word)
