VOCAB:
elegy (217): a mournful, melancholy, or plaintive poem
sanctum (241): a sacred or holy place
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:
1. "...a drop spilled off the brush to land on her thigh like a bead of blood" (236). This is an example of figurative language because it is a simile. The author uses the word "like" to compare the drop of red nail polish to a bead of blood.
2. "She smelled like autumn--like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold" (240). This sentence is a perfect example of figurative language, or, more specifically, a simile. A beautiful comparison is made between Josie's scent and other smells that Peter associates with the autumn season, such as apple cider.
3. "Alex remembered finding the girls in the kitchen, eating raw cookie dough instead of baking it, their bodies fluid as waves as they moved around each other" (245). This is another wonderful example of a simile in the novel. Picoult utilizes the word "as" to describe the comparison between the girls and waves because they are so graceful.
QUOTE:
"Josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'I'm glad I wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath...He started to smile so wide that it hurt. It wasn't that he didn't like girls; it was that there was only one right one" (240). This quote reveals Peter's true feelings for Josie. For a long time Peter believed himself to be gay because he was constantly teased and called "homo". Now, however, he realizes he's never had feelings for other girls only because he is in love with Josie.
THEME:
The theme of this novel seems to focus on the emphasis put on popularity in high school and the extreme struggle one goes through to remain at the "top".
