Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1

On Pages 54 - 57, Jessie makes a proposal to Megan for starting a lemonade stand. At first, Megan is not interested, but in the end Jessie convinces her to join. How does Jessie convince Megan that a lemonade stand is a good idea? How do you specifically know that Jessie's methods work?
Essay Topic 3
On Pages 129 - 130, Jessie contemplates what her "true" earnings are, because she has Megan's earnings as well; they are supposed to donate them to a charity. How does Jessie feel about using Megan's money to win the war? How come it is such a difficult decision for her to make? What does that reveal about Jessie?
