The book I have chosen to read is "Kisses and Lies". In this book there is a girl named Scarlett who lives with her aunt. Her and her aunt don't get along well with each other. One night she goes to a party that a couple of the popular girls threw. When she gets there she meets up with Dan McAndrews, who she has a crush on. Later that night they end up kissing, but it's not your average first kiss. He ends up dropping dead at her feet. The next day, at school she gets expelled for being accused of Dan's death. She then goes to the school that her grandmother is in charge of. That's where she meets Taylor, her best friend and her only friend. The two of them are now trying to solve the mystery of Dan's death.
In the book "Kisses and Lies" there are many conflicts, but the main one is Scarlett verses society. The reason behind this conflict is that Scarlett is being accused by everyone that she was the one who killed Dan. Scarlett, on the other hand, is trying to prove that someone had planned his death. But, proving that she is innocent is difficult with everyone against you.
WOW! Talk about a conflict! This novel gives you such an amazing conflict to analyze. Do you think it's more external (person v. person) or internal (the girl vs. herself)? I would feel so horrible if someone I knew drop dead from me kiss. What a horrible experience.
ReplyDeleteTalk more about the characterization though. What about the characters makes them interesting the the plot? How are they developed, or changed throughout the story?
