Research Paper On Pretty Little Liars

Improved Essays
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a cyber freak stalk you and threaten you with telling everyone about what really happened, that one summer, unless you do exactly what they say? Sara Shepard wondered what it would be like, and she wrote about it. Sara creates very interesting characters, and as one of them once said, “You think you know people, and then they surprise you.”(Shepard 34). Her characters always have secrets, but there is one person who knows all. Although there are many mysterious authors, Sara Shepard is one of the greatest authors because; her books are full of secrets, lies, and backstabbing; her books went from page to screen; and she does not only appeal to the mystery readers but the romantic readers as well. …show more content…
The liars sure do, and they have no intentions in letting anyone find out. Pretty Little Liars is Sara Shepard’s #1 best selling book from her entire series. Aria, Spencer, Hannah, and Emily all have their secrets, but the biggest one is what really happened that one summer night in Rosewood. All of the girls drifted apart from each other after Allison died, which leads me to the real mystery in the story. Who killed Alison and why? Also, who is “A”, and why do they want the liars dead? Even though Pretty Little Liars is Sara’s most popular series, she also writes other books as well. For example, The lying game is one of them. The lying game’s main characters are Sutton Mercer and Emma Paxton. Emma grew up in a foster care program almost her entire life. Her foster brother, Travis sees a video of a girl that looks identical to Emma. Emma is so excited, so she decides to facebook message the girl, but Sutton is actually dead. Emma arrives in Arizona and Sutton’s friend automatically assumes she is Sutton. Emma then goes along with it and Sutton’s friend takes her to a

    My thoughts on the book "Chasing Secrets" by Gennifer Choldenko is that it was an amazing book. I loved how it displayed that females could do anything that men can. The main character, Lizzie Kennedy, is a young 13-year-old girl who has a passion to be a doctor, even though it seemed improper to everyone around her. Lizzie didn’t listen to them though. Lizzie did so many amazing things in this book, that truly helped us understand who the main character was.…

    “The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less, a mask.” -Agatha Christie People only know what you show them about yourself, and when you finally show your true colors, it can come as quite a surprise to most. In the stories The Most Dangerous Game and Porphyria’s Lover both of the main characters experience great twists in another’s seemingly mild personality. The authors use characterization and dialogue(in the case of Porphyria’s lover it’s more an inner monologue) to portray that people can hide their true and sometimes evil ideas or intentions behind their innocent facades. Both Richard Cornell and Robert Browning use characterization to express how the main characters aren't actually as they seem.…
