Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Mrs. Creed's choice of suspects, Bo Richardson, is simply a grasping at straws due to the fact that Bo injured her son the year before. The only thing wrong with this is that Bo is not the only person to have seriously hurt Chris, a fact even Torey cannot escape. The fact is that Bo is the only boon to have seriously injured Chris. This touches on another theme of the novel, categorizing people or class distinction.

1. Do you think poor people are more apt to be accused of a crime than wealthy people? Why or why not?

2. Why do you think Mrs. Creed wants to suspect Bo Richardson of killing her son?

3. Do you think poor people are more likely to commit crimes than wealthy people? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 2

Torey is shocked to see his own name listed in the note and feels as though he should have known Chris was unhappy and should have done something about it. This creates tension between Torey and his friends.

1. Why do you think Torey was shocked to see his name in Creed's email? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

2. Why do you think Torey's feelings creates tension between him and his friends? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

3. Do you think it is reasonable for Torey to feel guilty about not knowing how unhappy Chris Creed was? Why?

Essay Topic 3

Torey has gained a greater knowledge of the reality behind the perception in this chapter, both through Chris and his mother's strict, unpleasant behaviors and through Bo's kind nature that has been hidden behind his poor background.

1. Do you think everyone has false perceptions about people they know? Explain your answer using examples.

2. Explain the cliche "you can't tell a book by its cover" in reference to the statement above.
