Patterns: There is a pattern of the introduction of each characters' powers. First, Percy shows his water powers, then Frank shows his powers with his spear, and then HAzel shows how she can use her jewelry powers in this scene.
              "The entire pallot fo jewelry exploded with ta sound like a thousand slot machines hitting the jackpot. A tidal wave of silver friendship bracelets poured across the catwalk, washing Doris and Lulu right over the railing. They would've fallen to their deaths, but Hazel wasn't that mean. She summoned a few hundred bracelets, which leaped at the guards and lashed around their ankles, leaving them hanging upside down from the bottom of the catwalk, screaming like little girls."
               This is an example of how the author expresses Hazel's power. Frnak and Percy alkso has special powers, and are portrayed in a similar way as this.
