Argument: Ellen Hopkins uses a free-verse form of poetry to portray a more passionate connection between the character and reader. Claim: Hopkins is able to describe every detail, clearly and precise without being as formal. Evidence: "masterfully used verse to re-create the yearnings and emotions of a teenage girl trapped in tragic circumstances" "The free-verse form seems to resonate with readers, and Hopkins continues to employ the devices in her young adult fiction." http://bna.galegroup.com.lib.chandleraz.gov/bna/about_the_book/GALE%7CM1300157206#writings
