Essay Topic 1
Bryce's father (in the situation with the eggs) is trying to get Bryce to be direct but he's taking the wrong approach by ridiculing him. Rick is advising his son to communicate but he has very poor communication skills himself. Discuss the following:
1. What is irony?
2. How do you think the situation of Bryce's father in this instance is ironic?
3. Discuss several other ironic situations in Flipped. Give examples to illustrate your ideas.
4. Why do you think irony is often included in a work of fiction?
5. People often confuse irony with sarcasm. What do you think is the difference between irony and sarcasm? Which is more sophisticated?
Essay Topic 2
Juli starts to bring eggs over to the Loski household partly in gratitude for Mrs. Loski's help and because of her attraction to Bryce Loski. Bryce and Garrett peek over the fence into the Loski's back yard and Bryce throws out Juli's eggs from then on because the back yard is so dirty. Discuss the following:
1. Should Bryce and Garrett have climbed the fence to look for a rooster rather than just asking Juli? Do you think this invades the Baker's privacy?
2. If the Bakers are presented throughout the book as the more psychologically healthy family, so you think having a filthy back yard would be at odds with a family that seems pretty highly functional? Why do you think the family allow their yard to become so bad?
3. What do you think Bryce should have done about the eggs at the very beginning? Were his motives good in not telling Juli they were afraid to eat the eggs? How could Bryce have not continued to accept the eggs and yet also not hurt Juli's feelings?
4. How would you have handled the situation with the eggs?
Essay Topic 3
Discuss the following:
1. What do you think are the characteristics of a successful novel?
2. Analyze and discuss Flipped based upon the criteria you decide upon in #1 and judge if Flipped is a successful novel.
3. Do you think the criteria for a successful novel should be different if it is written for adults versus young adults? Why or why not? Would most adults consider Flipped a successful novel? What about young teens?
