Well, turns out that Irene tells them to get revenge on people. The first revenge was on Peter and they beat him up badly in a dark ally. When Tammy realized that they were going to do this more than once, she quit. If she had trusted her instincts from the beginning she wouldn t have hurt anybody. Lois Duncan has many strength in the story Daughters of Eve. One of them is her great use of metaphors and similes. Holly Underwood sat with her eyes closed, listening to her mother at the piano building Debussy s castle note by silver note to the height of the stars. The room was filled with the ocean, with foam and froth and circling gulls and salt winds whipping icy spray against palace walls... then with one great roar, the sea came crashing in upon her, and the palace sank forever beneath the waves.(117-118) A reader can actually hear her mother playing the piano. Another is her fabulous imagery.Show MoreRelatedStephen P. Robbins Timothy A.
