Wicked: Critical Thinking Question #1 *spoiler alert*

Wicked is the fourth book in the Pretty Little Liars series, i am addicted to the series. there was a person that was stalking the girls known as A, and i was so shocked when i found out that it was Hanna's best friend Mona! how could a best friend do that and most of all how could she hit Hanna with a car?! Mona was killed when she fell off a cliff and Ian aka Spencer's sisters boyfriend is accused of Alison's murder and is going into trial. i think that now that the girls don't have to live in fear that things are slowly turning back to normal. but i still think that some really hard things are happening in the text.

Spencer is an overachiever at everything! she has As in every class is in many clubs in school, and is into sports. when she gets nominated for the golden orchid a country wide writing contest she is really nervous because it was her sisters paper that had gotten nominated! she wins but then admits that she cheated. she has gotten kicked out of every club, all her teacher hate her, and her parents don't even care about her or talk to her anymore.

Hanna and Mona were the most popular girls at school, now that Mona is gone Hanna has to keep that title. but her mom moves to another country because of her job and her dad with his new wife and step-daughter (Kate) move in. Kate hates her and will do anything to get her dad to hate her and get the school to hate her also. 

for the other two girls Aria and Emily things have actually gotten really good!  :) Aria's mom had forgiven her and now she lives with her again and is rekindling her relationship with her father. Emily is back in Rosewood and her parents finally accept the fact that she is lesbian. they are understanding and are being so nice ans supportive to her. 

for some reason i do not think that Ian was Alison's murderer, i just don't see him doing that. i wonder what is going to happen next!

Unbelievable *spoiler alert*

This is the fourth book in the Pretty Little Liars series and it is really good! Each book keeps getting better and better. In my post about perfect i mentioned how all the characters were turning back into their seventh grade self because of A, but now i think its getting back to normal. 

A texted Hanna but forgot to block the number and Hanna knew exactly who it was, so she told all he girls to meet her at the park. A hit her with a car so she would not expose who she was. thankfully she didn't die but was in a coma and forgot everything that had happened that night. i think from that big incident everything sort-of came back to normal.

Mona aka Hanna's best friend were in a fight and now they talk again. so Hanna is back to her glamorous life and being the most popular girl in school. Spencer's grades went back to normal and she is in the finals of the golden orchid which is a essay contest for the whole country and the winner gets a scholarship. Emily's parents sent her away to live with her aunt, but she ran away and now her parents say they love her and are begging her to come home. Aria now lives with her dad and she still doesn't talk to her mom. but she is slowly working towards it.

i think that the girls should try and do something about A and not let her control their life! i mean do they want to be like this for the rest  of their life. i think that the girls should also try and be more close to each other and not worry about ruining their new life and cover up after Ali died.

Flawless: Critical Thinking Question #1 *spoiler alert*

Flawless, which is the second book in the Pretty Little Liars series is amazing. there is so much drama and action going on. the obvious really hard thing that is happening is the girls dealing with Alison's death, even though she went missing more than 3 years ago they just found her body and Toby confessed that he killed her. another obvious thing is not knowing who A is, they know its not Alison because she is dead then who could it be? they all think its Toby but it can't be him because he was found dead in the morning after he confessed he killed Alison. but i don't think its him, for some strange reason i just don't believe he did it. everyone knows that Alison tried to pull a prank on him that went wrong and now his sister is blind but i don't think that he would do that.

if you look more deeply into the text there are other hard things happening that are not so obvious. all the girls are becoming their old self again, their seventh grade self back when Alison controlled their every move. every since she went missing they have each transformed themselves into new people.Hanna became the most popular girl in school and also the biggest slut, but her past is coming back to haunt her. she used to be fat and binge and then throw up and shes going back to her old habits. Spencer is a straight A student, every teachers dream student but now she is slacking off and stole her sisters boyfriend. Emily was the top swimmer on her team with a boyfriend every girl wants, she doesn't want to swim anymore and she claims she is a lesbian. and Aria moved to Iceland and became an average hip girl, and now she finds out that her dad still cheats with his college student and she doesn't know which boy to choose.

i can't wait to see how the girls deal with their hardships and what happens next.

The Lying game: Critical Thinking Question #3

so far in the book the lying game i do not think that justice is served. i do not think that it is fair to begin with that Emma has such a horrible life and no one cares about her and that Sutton has a perfect life. i it is not fair that Emma's only hope of happiness finding her sister Sutton is gone, because Sutton got killed. it also isn't fair that Emma is getting blackmailed now that if she doesn't play along as Sutton she will get killed.

i think that for justice to be served in the text both Sutton and Emma would have to be alive and Emma would have to be happy. even though Sutton is a horrible person i think that she should still be alive because, without her Emma is really sad.

its hard to tell who represents justice right now in the book but, i have a really strong feeling that it is this kid named Ethan. the reason that i think this is because, Sutton and her friends never used to talk to him and now him and Emma talk. i think that he is the person that you would assume brings justice because in books usually the shy kid or the kid that no one talks to is always the one who brings the peace.

the person who blocks justice is Sutton's killer and Emma's blackmailer, who are the same person. the reason that they do is because, they don't like Sutton because she has everything.
