Week 4- Liar

The main character in the book “Liar” is Micah Wilkins. She is a habitual liar who can not be trusted with anything that she says. When you read this book, Micah makes everything sound so believable in one part but then in the next she contradicts herself and shows herself to be a liar. Micah is not worthy of praise and one can only give criticism about her for many reasons. First, telling lies is never a good thing and will always catch up to you in some way. From birth we are taught to always tell the truth but when it comes to habitual liars, to them lying is the truth because when they lie they actually start believing it and can see no other way.
Micah knows that she is a liar and knows that it is wrong but yet she still continues to do it and for no good reason. The things in this book that she lies about are stupid things to lie about like being a boy her freshman year, and a hermaphrodite. The only benefits from telling those two lies is to get in good with other male students and to play basketball, so why couldn’t she of just played it off as a tomboy and did it that way, then she wouldn’t be lying to everyone. Maybe if her parents were more involved in her life and gave her hard discipline then she would try to change the way she is living her life and become a better person that everyone can trust.
