Perhaps the gap between Josie's last date with Jacob and when he comes over to her to break up. There is some room there to discover Jacob's character.

Somewhere in the novel (I forget which the page, the book isn't with me) Josie explains that over the past couple months or so she has really developed a good relationship with her father, however we don't see this happen (only a few scenes), so that is a gap. Relationship building.

If you read the novel it isn't that hard to find gaps. You basically have to look for situations where Josie has talked about something that's happened but hasn't actually been put into the book. I'm assuming this is for class, ask some class mates and discuss if you need more. I would flick through the novel if I had it, but I don't, so I can't remember everything.

I hope this has helped.

yeah .. it's really for class.. we have to find a gap or a silence in the novel and we'll have to make a monologue out of it .. anyway, thank u for the idea. :)

I think creating a Monologue for Jacob about why he broke up with Josie would be a good one. I'd definitely do it. Or even how Josie's grandmother feels about Josie finding out about Christina's real father. However I don't know what gap could correlate to that.
