Throughout The Lovely Bones, there are several situations where characters come to a realization about something, but not an acceptance about it. In a well-structured essay, discuss 1) the difference between realizing something and accepting it, 2) at least two situations/characters where this discrepancy is obvious, and 3) when, if ever, these characters come to accept something that they had earlier only realized.

Essay Topic 2

What do you think the name of the book means? Use at least three examples (or characters) from the text to support your hypothesis.

Essay Topic 3
