Micah changed...more than we expected

Right now I do not like this book. At first it was a great novel, but I did not expect to be reading a fantasy novel. I liked her before she was a “werewolf”. Now she is just another fictional character that has been badly put together. I personally think she is lying about this too. She has lied to us before and there is not way she can ACTUALLY be a werewolf. I don’t know, it is just so annoying to have a book change genres on you midway through. Does anyone agree?

Now to get to the actual assignment. Ha ha. Micah went from being a liar to a werewolf in the middle of our novel. I think this change has affected her life a lot since she was younger. I mean, imagine being locked in a cage for three days! I cannot go one day without a shower, so I feel for her when she said she felt gross when she got out. When she changes in the summer she mentions she likes it, but misses Zach. If she misses Zach so much, then why wouldn’t she tell him about it? I think she did. I do also stick to my theory that she killed him. She does mention that another werewolf killed him, but how would she know that unless she was there? I think this change (a very physical one) puts too much stress on her and when she lies she feels so much more comfortable.

  1. I can completely appreciate your feelings, Ashley. I felt the exact same way when I came across the werewolf surprise. I guess I hadn't "prepared" myself to read a fantasy novel. This brings up a good question: how do our expectations affect what and how we read?
