However, Nita finds a new friendship with books. Nita is lonely because she does not have any friends. To signify the need for Nita to keep herself busy and preoccupied, the author metaphorically uses a bee's eye. Consequently, reading one book is not enough for her because it is like eating one potato chip, which is not satisfactory. Nita confirms that her true friends are books because they teach her something new daily. Lesser, for Nita, "reading one book is like eating one potato chip." The simile is interesting and significant because it reflects the life of Nita. The author introduces Nita as a nerdy and studious 13-year-old girl who cannot let any book pass her without perusing to see its contents.
