Recognizing Susie

          Author's Note: This piece is a character description of Susie from the book Lovely Bones . It is using different types of figurative  language. Can you spot them out?        

          Characters come in all different shapes and sizes. Susie, which is the main character of Lovely Bones is not one of those characters that pops out to you until the first fifty pages or so. She is just a regular, everyday teenager that doesn't use her head in the right situations. For Susie it's that she doesn't recognize that when a creepy neighbor brings you into a small underground room, nothing good is going to come out of it.

           Through her different situations in heaven, Susie becomes aware that her killer may never be found, like when a dog buried his bone and is never going to find it again.  Ruth who had Susie slowly passing through her body to heaven. Ruth who saw her ghost. And Ruth who will unbury who the murderer is sooner or later.  Susie knows that Ruth is so much closer than the police to finding who the killer is, it will just take more time than she wants for her family.
