I thought that Auden wearing a pink dress on the cover symbolized her change. It showed that she doesn't view that world through feminist eyes, as she did in the beginning of the book. It showed that her personality grew from really boring, and bottled up, to a little more outgoing, and effervescent. It showed that she blossomed as a person.Kelsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18149539539070038803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-64231751349223233572011-03-23T15:58:15.489-05:002011-03-23T15:58:15.489-05:00I thought that the cover symbolized Auden's change throughout the book. It showed that she didn't look at things through feminist eyes as much as she did in the beginning of the book. This showed that Auden's perspective changed, and her personality went from extremely boring, to, just slightly, effervescent.Kelsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18149539539070038803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-55018678249529605362011-03-15T20:36:26.567-05:002011-03-15T20:36:26.567-05:00Maybe the fact that she is wearing a pink dress, also alluded to by the fact that they are on a bicycle, is a reference to how she had changed in her few months in Colby. Just a thought.Anna Rossihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17069934889775925580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-43070831957345468072009-09-01T06:47:59.266-05:002009-09-01T06:47:59.266-05:00Yeah, the torso thing bothers me as well, but I think the idea is that they don't want to show the face (because readers have their own ideas of what the characters actually look like). Still, it gets a bit creepy.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769085264423503438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11257604.post-45772116134229937552009-08-31T23:51:36.671-05:002009-08-31T23:51:36.671-05:00I also had a huge problem with the cover! Auden would never wear pink and I'm pretty sure Eli wouldn't wear the pictured outfit either. (plus, can't we have a cover that doesn't have a girls torso on it for once).christiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15824889001663892369noreply@blogger.com
