Today , i am writting about how i feel about what i have read so far in this book. To tell you the truth, i am confused ! I am not going to comment on specifics in the book. I am only going to talk about my feelings about the book so far. I am absolutley lost ! I don't know why it is so hard for me to get a grasp on this book, but it is, so i am going to start all over, and read every single page over. I can't tell the truth from a lie, but one thing is for sure, the title of this book is LIAR, it has the right name ! The young lady named Micah has a serious lying problem, and it is so hard to tell if she is lying or telling the truth, because to be honest with you, she is very convincing. So, as i start to read this book over, i will keep in mind that this girl, Micah, is capable of lying without having any thought about what she is saying, only to tell one lie and cover it with another. My next blog will be more detailed about the book, because i will get understanding from what i am reading, i am determined to filter out the truth from the lies. I know this is a good book, everyone who has read it said it is. So, wish me luck as i start over . DETERMINED !!!!!!!!

LIAR BY JUSTINE LARBALESTIER
I am about to begin to read this book LIAR. I am anticipating that this book will be as interesting as the book The Reasons Why, that i just read. I have heard that you have to be focused and uninterrupted to get the full understanding of this book. The young lady it is about is named Micah, and she is a habitual liar, it is hard to tell fiction or non-fiction when she talks . She tries to be very convincing about everything she says, and if you dont watch it, she will convince you. I cant wait to find out how she managed to lie her way through everything for all those years. Did everyone really believe everything she said ? Were people that niave or they just didnt pay attention ? I am really excited about reading this book because i want to see how a person can live a lie for so long and noone pays attention to it. When you tell one lie, you have to tell another one to cover up that one, and then another to cover up that one, and before long , you have woven what people call the web of lies. So as i go on this journey, reading this book, i will keep you posted, honestly, i am telling you the truth. So until next week, let's see what LIAR is really about. I am really anxious to read it, really, i am telling the truth !

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY
Identifying what caused a major change in Hannah Baker is would have to include more than one thing. I think what really helped her to go down hill, was the date with Marcus Cooley at Rosie's Diner. Hannah was willing to trust him, she thought he really liked her. When Marcus tried to feel on Hannah's legs, that really sent her spiraling down. Her trust was broken again. Then after she sat there, after Marcus left, Zach came over, but Hannah was not about to trust another person. After that scene, I think Hannah really needed someone, some encouragement, but instead, she got her notes stollen out of her bag in Peer Communications class. Hannah new that someone, even if only one person, had sent her at least one encouraging word. But now, she would never know, because Zach, was stealing the notes out of her bag. Just one more thing to add to everything else wrong in her life, he took away the one chance that maybe someone it that class could have said to lift her spirits. But lets not forget Ryan Shaver of The Lost and Found Gazette. Remember Ryan stole Hannah's notebook with all of her poetry in it and published her poem " Soul Alone " and everyone in the school had read it . People knew she had written it, but she was not about to let anyone know it was her. There, another reason that caused a major change within Hannah. Each of these situations contributed to the major changes in Hannah Baker, and they each share a quality within themselves, mistrust. I guess i see it as Hannah ended up with noone to turn to, her trust had been violated so many times, that she had noone to turn to. When her visible changes occured, noone noticed, if they did, they did not say anything, so it seemed to Hannah that noone cared, no one. This blog is just in my words, let me know what you think.
