- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, then check whether the audition setback or the storm feels more compelling. This can help you decide whether to continue side by side or let the reader carry on independently.
- Themes
- Ambition and being oneself: After a poor audition, Amelia gets a trial period and vows to prove herself, even considering pretending to be someone she is not. The story places self-acceptance and the wish to succeed in tension, but the brief plot outline does not show how it judges Amelia's choice.
- Worth knowing
- A botched audition is described as humiliating, and the brewing storm brings a threat of destruction. These setbacks and peril may be worth bearing in mind for a sensitive reader.
