Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Jeffrey blames himself for his brother's death and parents sadness. Jessica blames herself for her parents divorce. All the kids blame themselves for Mr. Terupt's accident. Why do they blame themselves instead of seeing the true? How do these characters get past self-blame and what comes after? Choose at least two characters to analyze closely.
Essay Topic 2
In the beginning, Luke says that Mr. Terupt should not have let them get away with so much, foreshadowing that we discussed in previous lessons. His line of thinking is that one thing leads to another. Choose one thing that happens in the beginning of the novel, and trace it to how it changes throughout. How does the novel show one thing leading to another? And does it lead for good, or bad, or both?
Essay Topic 3
Over the course of several chapters, we learn Jeffrey's story. In November, we learn he knows a lot about autistic students, in October that his brother died, and in November that he thinks it is his fault. In Part Two, Jeffrey reunites and starts healing his relationship with his parent. Choose one other character in the book, and write their journey from their initial problem to its resolution. Then answer the question: what is the novel showing with this structure about time, and how healing happens as a process?
