Miranda

 

 

Miranda's character is most  interesting to me, and the one I most relate want to understand. She seems confused and lost in her life and I wondered if she made up the lies to be more interesting or if she needed a sense of belonging. I felt this way especially when she tells the people at camp that she has a brother who is deformed.  When she tells these lies about her family it helps to pass the time makes camp go by faster. Miranda wants to be included in the attention August receives from his deformity. She wants people to feel sorry for her and she likes attention. 
This is not the first time Miranda seeks out attention by telling the lie that she had a brother that was deformed. She also, used this story when she realized what play the teacher had chosen in  theater.  .
