Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 3
Note the following passage:
"The full weight of what she was saying slammed down on her midsentence like a heavy gate. Her insides boiled with disgust at her own weakness.
She’d let herself laugh. She’d spoken Kelsang’s name out loud without cursing Jianzhu’s in the same breath. And worst of all, she’d forgotten Yun. It didn’t matter how long the lapse was. To release her grip on him, even for a second, was unforgivable." (164)
What attitude toward revenge does the passage indicate? Does the novel as a whole support that attitude? How or how not?
