Analysis Of The Adoration Of Jenna Fox By Mary E. Pearson

80 Words1 Page

The book I read was “The Adoration of Jenna Fox” by Mary E. Pearson.The signpost I identified is Aha moment, the part is when jenna figures out what happened in the accident. “I stare at the screen absorbing word by word a sliver of my life that changed everything” (Pearson 177).This is an example of Aha moment because it is right when Jenna figures out what happened in “the accident.” this revealed how little Jenna actually knew about “the accident.”
