the character MICAH
Micah to me seems to be a little off. I say this because not only does the author have her jumping back in forth to tell her story but she mentions that lying is a disease that runs in her family. The way she tells her invents in the order they happen is very weird. She mentions that to be unseen and ignored she wears a mask not to mention that her freshman year she is mistaken by a teacher for a boy and she figures it would be cool to go along with it. Its like she is screaming to be a social outcast in school. Then because she lies the whole class often blurts out that she is a freak and a murder this is of course after, but not only does the character Brandon out her about her secret relationship with Zach, it seems off because the way she describes how they met and the things that she say they do looking at icicles and then he moves close to her to later on end up kissing her, its like she describing something that she is imagining and it very weired and off to me. When she claims to where the mask its like she is not wearing the mask it seems as though she is just describing how once again in her imagination in order to avoid being heard she makes us think she wheres this mask.Its also weird that Brandon keeps hunting back to her being Zach killer almost as if the book will reveal that she was a stalker she also mentions that Zach never looked at her and never spoke Micah seems to me to fall in-love with him silently not because he didn't speak but because he was the one that didn't tease her and I still feel that this thing she is slowly revealing between the two is all in her head. Which brings me to my conclusion of why I think Micah is off ...I think she is suffering from some of metal disease maybe bi-polar or schizophrenia

I, too, wondered if Micah actually wore a mask or if it was a metaphor.
ReplyDeleteMicah is a very complicated character, and as you keep reading you'll understand more of the reasons why.
What effect do this book have on you? Can you relate to it in any way? I would agree, she is off the wall and whats up with the kiss?
