Quarter 2 Post 5A

VOCABULARY
1. garnered (65)- (v.) to have gathered and stored, aquiered
2. glib (84)- (adj.) fluent, loquacious, smooth, talkative

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE
1. "Beep" (77). This was the noise symbolizing the answering machine. It is an onomatopia because that is what it actually sounds like.
2. "His size, of course, you saw first: the height, the big wrists, the enormity of his mere presence. But there were little thing, too, like his dark eyes, which were either green or brown, and the two identical rings-- each flat, wide, and silver-- he wore on the middle finger of each hand" (66). This is imagery because it describes certain aspects of Owen in detail.
3. "A breeze blew across me then, catching the edge of my notes, making them flutter, the sound like litlle wings" (85). This is a similie comparing the noise of the wind hitting her notes to the sound of little wings.

QUOTE
"Even though I remembered smiling each time the flash popped, my expression in the final product is not one I recognize, my face caught somewhere between Kirsten's broad grin and Whitney's gorgeous hauntedness" (79). This is symbolic because it is like how Annabel is between her sisters in personality too, not just in the picture. Their faces match up perfectly with the personality descriptions too.

THEME
A theme in this novel is friendship; Annabel was great friends with Clarke, then Sophie, and now she has no one.
