Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
The Fat Man teaches his interns that most of the time doing nothing to their patients is better than trying to save their lives. Often when a doctor does tests and gives medication, other ailments result and the patients are worse off then when they arrived. Jo and Dr. Leggo disagree with this mentality and believe that everything should be done to try to save someone's life. Explore both viewpoints and pinpoint what morals each one exemplifies.
Essay Topic 2
One moment Roy believes the Fat Man to be right about everything, and then he questions him the next moment. For a good amount of time, he believes Pinkus had the right idea about medicine, until he snapped out of it. Why do you believe that Roy had such confusion regarding the different perspectives of the doctors? Was it because he was devoid of an opinion of his own, or was he just susceptible to others' viewpoints?
Essay Topic 3
After Potts' death, Roy shuts down completely and according to Berry was acting like a "machine". Why is this specific simile used? What machine-like qualities did Roy possess?
