Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Goodbyes, endings, and new beginnings of college, adulthood, and life are themes in the novel. Simon says, "'I don't want to leave him or you or Abby or any of you guys.' His voice catches. 'I don't know anyone in Philly. I don't know how people do this'" (239). How do characters in the novel transition from not knowing how to do something to being able to do it? How do they cope with this change, and what allows them to accept the coming change? Choose three characters to write an analysis about what the novel is saying about endings, acceptance, and allowing change to take place.

Essay Topic 2

Leah throughout the novel has a special feeling towards Abby, but it takes her some time to embrace it. Similarly Abby likes Leah for a long time, but takes some time to come into accepting this. How does the novel reveal this slowly and structurally to let this romance develop? How do flashbacks, and reminders of memories throughout slowly build the romance? What allows both of these characters to face the truth, and how do they decide to push past any obstacles in their way?

Essay Topic 3

Leah is very close to her mother and tells her everything, but when her mom starts dating Wells she feels unhappy. Similarly, she feels unhappy being left out of Simon and Bram's relationships. How do relationships change other relationships and friendships? Is this true for all or just Leah's perception and response? How do these dynamics shift back, either through changes or realizations, so Leah no longer feels left out, and how is this a part of her growth in the novel?
