    Analysis Of Poor Little Dead Girls By Lizzie Friend

    The cover for ‘Poor little Dead Girls’ by Lizzie Friend does not accurately show the major theme that sometimes you need to let people help you to be able to do things better. The theme isn't represented on the original cover because the words are the design of the most important parts book than what it's about. In the novel we see the theme communicated on page 216 “We happen to know a little about what's it like to not have complete control over your life, but we know a lot more how to handle it.” This shows my theme of sometimes you need to let people help to be able to do things better because since her friend has experienced this situation before it will be better planned than if she had done it herself. The idea of this theme isn't communicated well on the cover because the only thing that could possibly show is the design of the girls school uniform that shows friendship, you wouldn't understand until after reading the book.…
