venomous-figurative (of a person or their behavior) full of malice or spite (125)
trustafarian- a rich, young person who adopts a bohemian lifestyle and lives in a non-affluent area. (108)
Figurative language
1) "He turned to look at Philip with a venomous expression and noticed me trying to hide off to the side"(125). This is an example of figurative language because a venomous expression is a metaphor.
2) One of the supporting characters in the novel is Philip Weston. I think that he represents a sour Skittle because he seems sweet and cute on the outside, but inside he is is sour and not who you think he may be.
3) Bungalow 8 is a very popular nightclub in the novel. I think that Bungalow 8 is a symbol for confusion because every time the coworkers leave the club, they never are sane.
Quote:
"'Was that your boyfriend?' Will asked, picking up his drink again and settling back into the chair. 'No,' I sighed, reaching for my own martini. 'It most definitely was not.'" This quote is significant in the book because Bette has to pretend that Philip is her boyfriend only for publicity and she is stuck between a rock and a hard place about what to do and how to react to the news.
Theme:
A theme I see emerging this week is not getting lost in the mix. Bette was once a free, independent women, but now she relies on others and is getting thrown into the hodgepodge of dependent people.
