Post A

Vocab-
quarreled-an angry dispute or altercation

debauchery-excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures;

Figurative lang-
"Eliza took a seat on the suede couch and removed her Clergerie sandals and clasped her hands in antisipation." (231) This is an example of imagery because it gives specific details of the way the shoes looked etc.

"-gold with silve flecks in the heel- a super sexy Rochas with a Lucrite stilleto." (231) This is an example of imagery also, becauase it gives the reader a picture to see when reading because of the details.

"Yeah, i'm fine." she said with a monotone answer, Eliza and Mara knew she wasn't." (244) This is an example of irony because she was sarcastic, and you can tell from reading it that it is the oppisite of what she really meant.

Quote-
"Well, we'll just have to make sure they have no choice but to be there. How hard can it be?" (241) This quote is significant in the novel because it shows how the girls are working hard to fight for something that happens at the end.

Theme-
The theme created at this point in the book is that you should cherish what you have, rather than complain about what you don't have. All of the girls are learning this.
