Style: S.E. Hinton is trying to tell us something in this passage. Notice the repetition in Randy’s speech. A) Write down the phrases that keep getting repeated. B) What is the message that S.E. Hinton is sending to us?

This is a short-answer space but I can help you with one.

"Randy pulled out a cigarette and pressed in the car lighter. "I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. I would never have believed a greaser could pull something like that." ch 7

This represents Randy's disillusionment and confusion about life. He keeps saying that he doesn't know.

What you can do is type another answer for the next question. Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it.
