· What “big questions” or issues does the text tackle
The book Liar has a huge question. Can you believe Micha's truth or is it also a lie? How can you tell? As I read the book I found myself asking is this the truth or is she telling another lie. Thoughout the book she says she it telling the truth for the first time but then later on says that it was a lie. I can't say what was true and what wasn't. For example, she talks about her brother Jordan and how they never get along. How she has hated him from birth. Then later she admits that she has no brother and that it was a lie. But then again she says that she did have a brother that had died in an accident but never goes into detail. I can't help but wonder if she killed him. I don't recall her giving any details at all about her brothers death. So I guess I still don't know if it was the truth or another lie. This book proves that you can't trust a known liar. How can you tell if someone is being truthful? How can people tell if I am being truthful?
Great work here, June. We're going to talk about this issue at length when we finish the novel. We're also going to talk about how/why readers need "truth."
