"Ugh, it's so damp in here," Pippa says, sitting gingerly on the cave floor. Felecity has managed to talk her into coming and all she's done so far is complain about everything. " Did anyone think to bring food? I'm famished"
Her gaze falls on Ann, who has pulled an apple from her cape pocket. It sits in Ann's hand while she debates which will win, her hunger or her need to belong. After an excruciating minute she offers it to Pippa. " You could have my apple."
"I suppose it will have to do," Pippa says with a sigh. She reaches for it, but Felicity grabs it first.
(PAGE 138)
The tone used to describes this seems demanding. Felicity seems to be the ring leader of the group of girls. Although the apple was offered to Pippa, Felicity snatches it out of Ann's hand and does not offer to give it to Pippa. How would you feel if this had happened to you?
Felicity really is the leader of the group. She intimidates almost everyone around her. She is too controlling of the other girls. I think that Felicity's character is relatable because everyone encounters someone like Felicity in their lives. Tone allows the reader to see Felicity's control over everyone and need to be ahead of them all. This is especially shown in the passage through the quote, "I suppose it will have to do," Pippa says with a sigh. She reaches for it, but Felicity grabs it first."
