Question: After you have finished the novel, go back and reread the first few chapters. Do you discover new information or uses of literary elements (irony, symbolism, foreshadowing, etc.) that you missed on your first read? Identify 1-3 examples and discuss how a second read enhances the reader’s understanding. WARNING: If you find no new information, don’t answer this prompt.
Response: In the book Just Listen, by Sarah Dessen, the protagonist is Annabel while the antagonist is her sister. Her sister, the middle sister, has an eating disorder. She refuses to admit that she has an issue about eating regularly and gaining weight. In the past, the middle sister and Annabel had gotten along wonderfully; but in recent years, modeling got in the way and caused tension between the two and now they fight. Ever since her older sisters went to college Annabel does not have much relation with them. (Alternative 1)
