Figureative language:
1. The t-shirts, silk screened with the designers photoshopped and markedly slimmer than life silhoutte, would be given away for free. (8) This is imagery because it explains every little detail about the shirt and paints a picture for the reader.

2. "a 2 dollar schmatte, an eyesore of epic proportions, an insult to the name of couture" (8) This is imagery as well because it describes the object very well.

3. Her eyes were as tired as though she hadn't slept in a year. This is a metaphor because it compares her eyes to not sleeping.

Quote:
"I got an email from NYU," Jacqui said flatly (42)
This is significant in the book because she had been waiting all summer to find out if she was going to be accepted into NYU for the fall.

Theme:
I think the theme of the book is mostly how to survive once your done with highschool and all the hardwork it takes to fufill your dreams to make it. Another theme is also trying to find out who you really are.
