“Pretty Little Liars”, aired on ABC Family, is a recent television series that I have followed continuously over the past 2 years. This edge of your seat mystery follows the lives of four young ladies searching to find the murderer of their recently deceased best friend, all the while being the prime suspects themselves, and facing threats from an anonymous figure. A myth, in my point of view, is a tale which is created by the adventures that shape a hero. In this series, all four ladies are heros

This television show takes keeping secrets to a whole other
a book, “Pretty Little Liars.” A very interesting book, if you love mystery and secrets. What I can remember is that it’s a book of five girls that gossip and lie like any other girl, except one day one of them goes missing and then all of sudden their lies and secrets are spread out. Lying can go so far, lying can lead to so many problems or even more lies. While lies can lead to people not having trust in you or even leads to loosing respect to a person.

deal with conflicts. Society now gets influenced by social media for everything, from the way we should act to the way we look or dress. People copy what they see on Tv, and start acting like their favourite actors and actresses. In the show Pretty Little Liars four friends are left on their own when the other friend “passes away”.

For my paper I picked to write about Shay Mitchell. She is a famous actress, who stars in the hit TV show Pretty Little Liars.

Are all television villains the same? The answers to this question are endless. Most people would say yes, but there are differences between many popular tv villains.

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Jack, the novel’s antagonist, exemplifies greed.

We were liars, a book of darkness, pain, and so much sorrow. This novel by E. Lockhart, follows the story of cadence. Someone who suffers migraines, not fools. She is on a quest to remember what happened the night of her accident. We were Liars, a book conveying pain and sorrow. With the help of symbolism.
