LITERATURE ANALYSIS #2

1.       Plot-

The novel starts of by Nicolette Antonovich getting asked by "Rascal" to attend his prom. She paid her best friend's older brother to drive her around to find the perfect dress. Yet two days before the big date, Rascal cancelled saying he’s going with his off-and-on girlfriend who just moved back from Arizona. That was just the great way for Nic to end her sophomore year *I'm being sarcastic*. But she had the whole summer to cool down and plan out how her junior year is going to start off as. She still loves Rascal even for what he did to her. She loved the wrong guy throughout the whole novel until she realizes that the right boy for her life is her friend’s older brother, Jared.

2.       Theme-

The theme of the book is to never let anything bring you down no matter how bad the situation was, even if the only easy thing you can do is to give up. The theme is seen in the novel when Rascal doesn’t take Nic to his prom because his girlfriend decides to come back. Nic experiences the theme of the novel in many parts of the novel. The bank is trying to foreclose on her home from which she has lived in since she was a child. Her father doesn’t help her nor her mother with that situation because he’s too busy with his “replacement daughter” like Nic says for him to care about what they’re going through. She might get kicked off the volleyball team just because of a false rumor that’s going around team. If she gets kicked off the volleyball team which will ruins all her chances of getting a college scholarship.

3.       The Author’s Morning Routine-

I feel like the author gets up early in the morning every day to get her day started just right. She seems like a person who would go to sleep early to get the right amount of hours of sleep. I imagine her doing yoga after eating a light breakfast, maybe like some fruit or something plain like a bagel, along with some coffee or an orange juice. I imagine her doing this due to the way she writes and how she expresses herself with the protagonist which is “Nic” in the novel.

4.       Diction

Diction- The diction of this book is probably informal. Informal because it's written in a way how you would communicate with your friends or something like that. The book is written mostly for teens.
