Blog Post #3~ The Main Character

     The book I have recently finished reading is Twisted by Sara Shepard. This is the ninth book in a series of what is going to be twelve. There are 5 main characters in this book- Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields and their arch enemy A. I'm going to be focusing on my favourite character, Spencer Hastings.
     "It's not like I'm going to get in," (Sara Shepard, Twisted, page 9) Spencer said talking about getting into Princeton- her dream university. Spencer is always worrying about her grades. I mean who wouldn't be? We all want to get into a good university and end up with a good life, but in Spencer's case she was already in and she had been since grade 11. Spencer is the über smart one in the group of the pretty little liars. She worries about her grades all the time!
     Although she is the smart one, she will never live up to her sister Melissa. In fact, Melissa was her parents blood, while Spencer was adopted. Well her mother had problems having another baby after Melissa, so her and her husband payed a lady to carry their baby. Spencer never got over this. Her parents only ever cared about something big that Melissa did. That is until everything that happened with Ali had gone viral. Spencer was so worried about keeping her grades up because ever since the mishap with Ali and the Poconos fire, there was something that Spencer feared about her grades because she knew that A was always watching. Does Spencer keep fearing A and go crazy about her grades and SAT scores, or does she mellow down and forget about A? Read this amazing mysterious book to find out!

     The song I chose that best describes Spencer, and all the liars in fact, is called Secrets by The Pierces. It is the theme song of the show and it describes the girls very well.

  1. You've written this really well and given a lot of information, but you keep switching verb tense. First you say "Her parents only ever cared about something big that Melissa did." and then you say "That is..." Either pick the present or the past tense and stick with it!
