Essay Topic 2

Drina is using Haven to get close to Ever, a fact that becomes clear soon. Haven is exactly the kind of person who would fall into this trap. Haven goes to all kinds of addictive-behavior meetings. She attends meetings aimed at helping co-dependents and others, but not because she has those behaviors. Haven is actually desperate for acceptance and seems to find it in those meetings. Drina only has to pay Haven a little attention to have her full-fledged loyalty. Ever knows quite a bit about Haven's family, including that his father is not involved in business when he's away on trips and that her mother is having an affair with her personal trainer. The result is that Haven is often left alone. Later in the book, Haven is very ill but neither of her parents come home to take care of her.

1. Discuss why going to the meetings Haven goes to might actually be a pretty smart solution for a teenager in Haven's position. Use examples from your own life and the book to support your reasoning.

2. Discuss ways in which you think a bad marriage between parents affect children. Use examples from your own life and the book to support your reasoning.

3. Do you think Haven's parents not taking care of her when she was very ill is a form of child abuse? Why or why not? Use examples from your own life and the book to support your reasoning.
