Charecterization and setting in "Kisses and Lies"

The book I had chose is called "Kisses and Lies." In this book there is a girl named Scarlett. Scarlett is a beautiful, thin, gymnist. She is also a sixteen year old who lives in London. Her parents died when she was a little girl, so she has to live with her mean aunt. Her aunt and her do not get along very well though. One night she went to a party that some popular girls through. At the party is where she saw Dan McAnderson and where she had her first kiss. After the kiss is where it went downhill! He dropped dead right the kiss. But why?

She got expelled from her school even though she was not part of Dan's death. She had to attend a school where her grandmother worked. That is when she had met Taylor, her only friend. Taylor was a strong looking girl. She doesnt like make-up or skirts unlike Scarlett. Taylor has been helping Scarlett find out who had killed Dan. They are best friends working side-by-side finding out this mystery and getting her name cleared of the mystery.

This story takes place in London, but later changes. While Scarlett is on the train headed to Scotland she sees all the lights. She also realizes how bright London truelly is. Someone at the train station was suppose to pick her up. When she gets off of the train she sees a goshtly figure of some familar person. She know he is picking her up but who does he look like? he looked very familiar. Who is this? All she sees is Dan McAnderson!

I enjoy reading this book. I can't put it down. I highly recommened this book!

  1. I'm glad you are enjoying this novel so much, Kayla! It really is interesting. Can you imagine having your first kiss drop dead at your feet? It would be terrifying!!

    How is our main character coping with the whole situation? You are analyzing the characterization, provide an example from the story that shows how Scarlett is a dynamic character. Is she growing? Changing? Or is she just stuck. You mentioned that she is seeing Dan everywhere, so she must be struggling a little bit!

  3. I think she was changing because she grew more mature after the death of Dan. She had to be strong and stick up for herself. She also had trouble because she saw Dan everywhere!
