Vocab:
Jovial-endowed with or characterized by a hearty, joyous humor or a spirit of good-fellowship

Malicious-full of, characterized by, or showing malice; malevolent; spiteful

Figurative Language:
Imagery- "She eased out of her heels, pulling down the straps and massaged the balls of her feet" (66). This is an example of Imgery because it creates a mental image for the reader to imagine.

Metaphor-"The room was as dark as the nights sky. Not to mention it also smelled like mildew." (63). This is an exmaple of a Metaphor because it compares an object to another.

Irony- "Here!" Paige said throwing it down causing Eliza to cut into the fabric with her scissors." (61). This is an example of Irony because it is the oppisite of what she meant literally to do.

Quote:
"She'd never worked so hard and felt so good in her life! The collection was amazing." (69).
This quote signifies that Eliza's job was going well and her boss liked her work.

Theme-
I think a theme emerging throughout the book is cherishing what you have. The girls in the book are learning to accept reality and learn that if they want something, they have to fight to get it.
