FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
1. "The next time we saw Whitney, though, the change in her was obvious. Before she'd looked lithe, elegant; now, she was gaunt, and her head seemed too big for her body, weighing down her neck" (43). This is an example of imagery because it gives a detailed description of Whitney.
2. "...my heartbeat loud in my ears, thump thump thump" (24). This is an onomatopia because a heart beating makes a thumping sound.
3. "A million red jeeps must have passed before my eyes in the last few months..." (24). This is a hyperbole because a million is a far off exaggeration as to how many red jeeps she had seen in a matter of a few months.
QUOTE

Annabel is afraid to tell her mother that she wants to quit modeling. She feels that it could send her mother back into depression since she is the only one of her sisters still living at home.
An emerging theme iin Just Listen is the stress to be perfect; Whitney tries so hard to do everything and to be a great model that she has made herself sick and now she has an eating disorder.
