Pretty Little Liars #5

        I just finished reading the book Wicked by Sara Shepard a couple of hours ago so before i forget what happened, let me write the summary.  In this book Hanna's stepsister Kate moves in along with her father and his wife.  Together they befriend to girls and rule the school.  Spencer has a hunch about why her amily always favored her sister, Melissa, over her.  Emily get a new boyfriend after telling her parents that she's gay.  And Aria's mom's boyfriend keeps hitting on her.  And she might like him back a tiny bit.  "A" is dead and they have no more stalker to worry about, so everything will be fine.  Think again.
        In this book I've noticed a lot of secrets.  In fact every single girl has a secret, or someone they're close to has a secret.  Spencer's parents have a secret.  A big one that may explain why they like Melissa more than her.  Aria has a secret invloving her mom's new boyfriend.  Emily has a secret that she's hid from her parents.  A secret that shows that she might not be gay after all.  And Hanna's new stepsister's secret is that she might be trying to destroy her.  And that Kate apologizing to Hanna was just part  of a master plan to ruin her.  And those are only the some of tthe big secrets in this book.
        Everyone has something to hide.  In the books and in real life.  No one tells people everything.  At least I know I don't.  Maybe  it's just me.  Maybe it's the type of person I am, or the way i was raised.  Because  it my family, we are sort of like Spencer's family.  Each one of us sticks to ourselves, does our work, minds our own business.  The things that we talk about the most are how well me and my brother did at our last track meet.  Or how my brother scored a goal at his soccer game earlier that game.  Or how I did on my lst test.  Basically that's how we are.  No one tries to get into each other's business.  We just keep stuff to ourselves.  We make everything our secrets.  We don't try to.  That's just how things work
        And a lot of times that's what happens, we don't start out making in intentional to make thesethings our secrets.  It just happens to go in that way, into that little spot in the back of our mind that says, don't tell.  It doesn't even have to be that important for your brain to tell you not to say anything.  But after a while, it might.  You might convince yourself that you just absolutly can't tell anyone.  And that is why some of the people in the books have so many secrets that they can't tell.   Their brains tell them not to.  Does that make any sense? I don't know.

    You do a really good over view of all the trust and secrets in the book, but maybe you should go outside of the book and consider other real world ideas and try to get bigger on the ideas and bigger issues in the world and the bigger IDEAS that are PHILISOPHICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
