I usually hate reading but this was not boring at all. I'm trying to go back and find important guotes but it's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be to find specific quotes.

You can see in the other comments below, I don't give test answers to students, but I will try and help. Do you know what a metaphor is? Let's start there. A metaphor is when you compare something to something else, without using the word "like" or "as." (That's a simile.)<a href="http://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/figures-metaphor.htm" rel="nofollow"> Here's a site</a> that might help explain it in more detail. Now that you understand what a metaphor is, it should be easy to find examples in The Good Thief. Just pick a character or a place in the story, and see what they are compared to. Good luck! Hannah Dear Jessica,

I am hard at work on the next novel, but until then I'd recommend reading some of the books that inspired <em>The Good Thief: </em><em>Great Expectations </em>and <em>Jane Eyre. </em>There is a complete list <a href="http://hannahtinti.com/school-visits/for-teachers/" rel="nofollow">here</a> (scroll down to the bottom). Also, you could try my short story collection, <em>Animal Crackers.</em> Happy Reading! cheers, Hannah Dear Ellie,

I hope that it is going very well, that inspiration is flowing freely, and that you're enjoying the process. I was hoping that while you're working --and I am anxiously awaiting-- that you might recommend some authors or novels (as I prefer long fiction) that you personally enjoy to get me through the meantime. Happy writing, -Ellie Hello Hannah-
