wasn’t breathing. He was dead. That is when the 

climax occurs in the book.

The main character Evyn, in the book Bounce, is brought to 

life in many ways through characterization. First she 

expresses her feelings very well. She is honest to people and 

she changes towards the end of the book. Last she becomes 

closer with her brother and her new family. In conclusion, the 

main character Evyn, in the book Bounce, shows who she is in 

many ways through characterization.

The theme of the book is to be grateful for what you have 

and for what you get. One reason is she wants her dad to be 

happy, but doesn’t want to change her life. She should be 

grateful that she has a dad and now a mom. She also has a 

big family and she can get to know them.

In the book Bounce, there are many examples of figurative 

language. One example is at the part where Evyn says the 

squeals are ear-piercing. Another example is where 

someone asks, It really wasn’t a bear was it? In conclusion 

those are some examples of figurative language.
