Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Morgan makes a racist comment about Abby, and Leah calls her out on it to the detriment of their friendship for some time. Look at this situation from two angles. First, how does Morgan's response and defensiveness show an ally's reaction gone wrong? How does forgiveness and reconciliation take place after these kinds of racist comments for the characters involved? And how does the handling and response to the situation on many levels show ways, good or bad, that these kinds of comments can be dealt with? Which characters do you think acted right in this situation, and how do you think they could have improved?

Essay Topic 2

Abby and Nick's breakup resonates throughout the novel, making room for new possibilities of romance, while both Abby and Nick, as well as their friends, cope with the fallout. How does this breakup impact different characters? Choose at least four characters to write about their feelings about the breakup. Use this to discuss, how does a breakup have to do with more than just the characters in a relationship? And how do the way characters feel or think show a complex picture of relationships and breakups, and why people stay in relationships? Consider also how appearance factors into these choices.

Essay Topic 3

Leah is bisexual, but not out, but also is white. How do you think Abby's understanding of her sexuality, and her confusion about it and decision to date Nick even when she is looking for a reason to break up, may have to do with her concern with appearances? How does racism and appearance factor into who gets to experiment with their sexuality versus who does not?
