The book Liar by Justine Larablestier is getting very interested as I am reading throughout the novel. The issues that the text tackle was Micah don’t know who she really is in her life feels out of control. There were issues dealing with race, gender and teenage life. Micah is African American, she wears natural and short hair and her mother is white. Police officers, students, teachers, Micah parents, counselors in including Micah are trying to find out who really killed Zach. I never knew if she was lying or telling the truth but, Micah tells us over and over again throughout the novel at least some of the stories she tells isn’t true. When Micah was turning into a wolf I was thinking that is unbelievable, a person who is human turning into a wolf I thought to myself (funny) right.. Micah wouldn’t be trustworthy around people and people wouldn’t want to hang around her because she lies alot. She have to take her birth control pills once every morning and her father in brother Jordan reminds her to take it in she gets very irritated by them.. There were alot of secrets Zach didn’t tell Sarah which is his real girlfriend. Although, I had a very understanding of teenagers and some of the issues they deal with growing up as young adults. She had problems trying to fit in at school and at home as well. Then there's another issue were a girl name Erin who runs away in students thought she was dead ,who's boyfriend get arrested Next She's pregnant or diseased and thinks she married in she's only 14 years old that is vey pitiful.

Free Choice: Week 5
The novel Liar by Justine Larbalestier is a very good novel you will not even want to put it down. The novel uses English languages which relates to our everyday life. There were an issue about the text that really confused me was the After,Before, Family History and etc. The main character was Micah an African American, who was a senior and High School, a compulsive liar and she dated a guy name Zach, She loved Biology. Micah determined she will stop lying but it’s hard because she needs to keep lying to protect her family secret. When she first started her new high school she let people think she was a boy even her teacher in she told students that she was a born a hermaphrodite. One day a counselor comes in and says that Zach body has been found that turns her life upside down. So, one day Micah wears a mase because Zach have been absent from class for a few days and she haven’t seen him nowhere around.
Zach real girlfriend name is Sarah who cries eveytime someone says his name. She really loved and cared about him. Lastly, Micah father is black who always reminds her in the morning to take her pill which irritates her alot and her mother is white, the way she talks is embarrassing. Micah has a brother name Jordan who finds away to get on her her nerves most of the time he sneaks into her room and touch her things and steals Zach's sweater.

Title: Act like a Lady Think Like a Man
Author: Steve Harvey
This book is about Steve Harvey giving advice to young female teenagers who are beginning the cycle of dating and women married/divorced with kids and about how man think and why men do what they do when it comes to relationships. It’s truly an eye-opener. Women that encounter long term relationships dealing with mama's boys, marriage and when to introduce men to children's in one's life. Steve Harvey talked about how men distinguish the marrying types and the play things. There were several of his examples are with divorced women with kids. This book will give you ideas on what parts you will need to work on in your relationship. Although he made some good points, about why men cheat and the ninety-day rule: getting the respect you deserve. The five questions every woman should ask a man to determine how serious he is.
I would recommend this book to every woman across the world who is married /divorced or in a relationship because it gives great advice about men ,not adjusting women to read it because they are having problems with their man this could help in the near future with your relationship.
I would change one element of the story in that will be how Steve Harvey talked about how a man introduce a woman as his baby mama or lady ,In other words you will have a title that how you know you are special in his heart but I'm sure every woman knows this because this is common sense.
