The setting is at an old gang house, Rachel's house 

(murder scene), and at Skyler's house. It is in a 

small town that doesn't have a lot of violence. The 

story is in the summer. 

The main characters are Jaycee and Rachel. Jaycee is 

trying figure out Rachel's death. She has shoulder 

length red hair, and freckles. Her boyfriend is Skyler, 

but her dad doesn't really like him. Rachel is Spanish, 

and has long dark brown hair. She was pretty, and all 

the guys fell for her. She had a boyfriend named 

Manny who is dead like her. Her other best friend 

besides Rachel is Eduardo.

The main conflict is external. Rachel is dead and 

Jaycee is trying to find out why, but somebody is 

covering it up.

The first event in the rising action is when Jaycee finds out 

rachel is dead. Next, Jaycee finds a note from Rachel telling 

her to only trust E, which is Eduardo. Jaycee is swimming 

when E finds her to talk. Jaycee doesn't trust him right away. 

Jaycee then suspects Skyler and his older brother Evan to be 

apart of both Rachel and Manny's deaths. She thinks this 

because of a picture she saw in Evan's room while snooping. 

Then, Jaycee finds her house ripped to pieces with fake gang 

symbols all over. Lastly While jaycee is helping cleaning up 

Rachel's murder scene with people from the town she goes 

into Rachel's room and notices a picture hanging cricked   she 

looks behind it, and finds a micro chip with a project evan did. 

In the corner Jaycee sees a little picture with an 18 carved into 

what looks like Evan's arm.

In the book Dead Girls Don't Lie the climax of 

the story occurs when Jaycee finds the phone 

Skyler gave to Rachel. She then finds out that 

Skyler was in love with her. Skyler gave her the 

phone so he could track her. Rachel had videos 

of her and Manny that gave Jaycee more clues. 

This leads Jaycee to the killers and maybe 

even that creepy house.

The main character, Rachel, in the book Dead Girls 

Don't Lie, is brought to life in many ways through 

characterization. One example from the book says 

"Rachel didn't wear shoes. She had that "Small town 

girl" style that works with her bear feet." This shows 

that Rachel has a carefree personality. Another example 

from the book says "Rachel had long dark hair, thin but 

with all the right curves, and delicate." This helps create 

a picture in your head of what she looked like. In 

conclusion the main character, Rachel, in the book Dead 

Girls Don't Lie shows who she is through 

characterization. 

One scene of dialogue is between Jaycee and Evan.

    He taps on my window. "Open it," he says.

    I shake my head pointing at my bathrobe. I step back 

wondering how long he was watching me.

    "Why are you here?" I ask.

Another important dialogue part is between Jaycee and 

Eduardo.

    He looks up. "Why are you doing this?" he questions.

    "Dong what?" I ask.

    "Digging up stuff about Rachel, trying to figure out what 

happened. It could be dangerous, and I don't want that-"

    I can't handle it I snap at him, and I know Rachel would 

want us to know why."

The theme of Dead Girls Don't Lie is not to trust people to 

much, because some people just like to see you struggle. Evan 

is only interested in Jaycee because she is trying to figure out 

why Rachel died. Also, Evan only became interested in Rachel 

when she was trying to figure out Manny's death.

In the book Dead Girls Don't Lie, there are many examples of 

figurative language. One example is at the part where Jaycee 

is talking Eduardo. The author writes, "His laugh had a bitter 

edge." This is figurative language because it explains how his 

laugh sounded. I chose this example because it mad it easier 

to picture it in your head. Another strong example is when 

Jaycee is getting a flash back of Rachel and her in the old gang 

house, and she is remembering Rachel saying "Shh." as they 

got to the house. This is an example of an onomatopoeia. In 

conclusion there are a lot of good examples of figurative 

language in this book.
