The protagonist of the book a 17-year old named Gwen who is determined, talented, quiet, smart, and independent.
THE END
One example of figurative language in the text is when the author describes how Gwen looks. The description helps me build a better image of Gwen as the book continues. Another example is when the author describes Bobby's reaction to the invisible man. This description helps me get a good image of Bobby's reaction.
The theme of this book is to never give up on your dreams, because Gwen was distracted by her missing grandpa on the days leading up to her violin audition, but she still diligently practiced.
An example of imagery in the book is when Gwen sits down on the couch and starts crying, because the couch smells like her grandpa. The author describes how the couch smells so the sensation is conveyed to the reader.
