GR- My thoughts of Kizzy
So far in my readings of the book "Lips touch three times by Laini Taylor i've came to a certain conclusion about one of the main characters in the story of goblin fruit, Kizzy. Kizzy is a teenage girl who is not the most attractive girl in her high school, and overall quite envious of the girls she views as pretty. Kizzy is a very low self-esteem girl and she feels she has reason to be. Especially having a family that believes in immortality, and that a person dies and goes on to their second life. And with this belief also came the rituals she had to take place in as far as the way they said goodbye to their loved ones and the items and tools they buried them with. Kizzie's low self esteem issues are the main reason why she was spotted out by the goblins in the first place because someone of that caliber could be easily influenced or persuaded into something as simple as tasting a fruit. They observed her very carefully and noticed what she likes as far as boys and the physical traits she was attracted to and looking for. With the goblin being disguised as a new boy at school who was very handsome and caught the eyes of all the other girls there, its not hard to see why Kizzy fell for him so quickly. She was blinded by his beauty and charm to realize what the new boy Jack Husk was after and what type of demon he really was. Kizzie's only problem is that of being blinded by his exterior traits and not realizing he was after her soul. And sure enough she gives it to the goblin willingly when she bites the apricot and peach he offered her which was nothing more than goblin fruit!

I thought she was an interesting character. I also thought the fact that the goblin preyed on girls with low self-esteem was interesting. Can you see any parallels to this in real life?
