Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

The author uses point of view as an important literary element to allow the reader to experience the story a certain way. Point of view may stay the same or change within a novel, or even within a chapter. Write an essay that defines all the the point-of-view characters, and how point of view is used. How does this type of point of view contribute to the novel? Is this a good or bad choice for this novel, or is the point of view that this story is told in optional? Why or why not? Provide examples to support your argument.

Essay Topic 2

As Annabel starts the laundry, Boris Harris turns up at the apartment door. In this way the two characters begin an interaction that is important to their relationship throughout the rest of the book. Write an essay that traces the relationship between Annabel and Boris as it develops and changes throughout the novel. How does their interaction and the growth in their relationship reveal characterization, theme or other literary element? Provide concrete examples to back up your assertions.

Essay Topic 3

From the scene on the street with her crying brother to the encounter with the runaway washing machine to a school conference on her grades -- and more -- Annabel finds herself challenged as she lives as and must interact with others as an adult. Select one scene from the book that you feel most prominently demonstrates growth in Annabel's character. Describe how and why she has grown, and explain why. Provide evidence from the novel to back up your assertions.
