Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Rebecca is a humorous character. Suze is as well. Without humor, Confessions of a Shopaholic would not be the same. Explain why humor is an important element to the story. Why is Rebecca a funny character? What makes her funny? Is it her actions, vocabulary, outlook on life, or something else? How does Rebecca's humor mesh with Suze's? Without each other, would the story be nearly as enjoyable? Use examples from the novel to make the point.
Essay Topic 2
Frugality is a topic touched upon in Confessions of a Shopaholic. In Chapter 5, Rebecca tries her hardest to begin a "Zen-like" lifestyle. Write an essay that explains the route Rebecca takes to begin a life of frugality. What changes does she make to her lifestyle to account for her restricted income usage? How does she change the way she eats? How does she change the way she shops? Be sure to provide examples to support your work.
Essay Topic 3
Rebecca often dreams of a fairytale ending. She frequently loses contact with reality, in favor of experiencing some imagined fantasy. By the end of Confessions of a Shopaholic, she has everything she could ever want. Write an essay that explores Rebecca's happy ending. Is her happiness likely to last? Does her relationship with Luke have a strong foundation? Will it endure the trials and tribulations to come? Is Rebecca likely to continue to have a successful career in finance? Why or why not? Provide examples from the novel to support your argument.
