Long Answer

1. The author uses similes and metaphors throughout the novel to reveal Janie’s anxiety and uncertainty as she learns more about the possibility of her kidnapping and the truth about her biological family. Student examples will vary but may include the following: “She had a sense that she must hold on to her sanity, the way in a crowd in the city you held on to your purse. That it would take both hands to stay sane” (Chapter 4); “‘I hate her. I hate that little girl.’ She began to cry. The tears made no noise and took no effort, but they burned fiercely, as if they were the acid remains of her horrible deeds.” (Chapter 16)

2. The driver’s license represents freedom and independence, as well as a rite of passage into normal teenage life.
