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.
You have some excellent observations here, Marilyn. We haven't talked much about the race issues that the story brings up. What did you think about the reactions of the students to the DNA test?
