Essay Topic 1

Reverend Ambrose is worried that Jefferson is not saved when it's about 3 weeks before he is to be executed. What does Reverend Ambrose fear about Jefferson not being saved? Why isn't Grant worried about this? Why do you think Reverend Ambrose wants Grant to talk to Jefferson about his faith? Why does the Reverend want Grant to lie about what he believes?

Jefferson's execution date is set after a long series of discussions about how the Catholics would like their Lenten and Easter season interrupted. What do you think would have happened if the date had been shared with the other execution? Do you think it would have mattered if the execution date was too close to Easter? Why do you think the author made this an issue of the story?

Essay Topic 3

The relationship of Vivian and Grant is a complicated one, but perhaps that's only a matter of their current positions - she in her marriage, and Grant in his depression. Do you feel that their relationship is a strong one? A healthy one? Do you feel that these two will be together at some point? Do they seem like a couple that has a chance? What do they have to offer each other? How do they hurt each other?
