Johanna ReissA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
The novel is told from Annie’s first-person point of view, not as an adult looking back but as a child in the moment. Consider how the story would differ if the adult Annie were narrating. Then, examine how her childlike perspective influences the novel, using textual evidence to illustrate this.
Though a minor character, Annie’s mother plays a vital role in the novel. Explore her presence in the story and evaluate her purpose. For example, is she symbolic or does she contribute to a theme? Be specific.
Characterize the tone of the novel, whether it shifts or changes, and why or why not. Use details from the text to support this assessment.
