Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Oftentimes, a book has more of a character-driven plot rather than action driven, and oftentimes the other way. Some books seem to balance the two. Discuss the following:
1. What do you think it means to say that a plot is character driven? Action driven?
2. How do you think a plot differs if it is character driven versus action driven?
3. Which type of plot do you find more interesting? Why?
4. Do you think it is possible to have a plot where action and character development share equal time? Why or why not.
5. What type of plot do you think Flipped is? Explain your response.
Essay Topic 2
Juli starts to bring eggs over to the Loski household partly in gratitude for Mrs. Loski's help and because of her attraction to Bryce Loski. Bryce and Garrett peek over the fence into the Loski's back yard and Bryce throws out Juli's eggs from then on because the back yard is so dirty. Discuss the following:
1. Should Bryce and Garrett have climbed the fence to look for a rooster rather than just asking Juli? Do you think this invades the Baker's privacy?
2. If the Bakers are presented throughout the book as the more psychologically healthy family, so you think having a filthy back yard would be at odds with a family that seems pretty highly functional? Why do you think the family allow their yard to become so bad?
3. What do you think Bryce should have done about the eggs at the very beginning? Were his motives good in not telling Juli they were afraid to eat the eggs? How could Bryce have not continued to accept the eggs and yet also not hurt Juli's feelings?
4. How would you have handled the situation with the eggs?
Essay Topic 3
Over the course of Flipped, Byrce grows as a person in both complexity and understanding. Flipped might be considered a slice of Bryce's larger story of his "coming of age." It might be said that Flipped is a "bildungsroman" of Bryce Loski. Discuss the following:
1. Define Bildungsroman, or "Coming of Age," and give several examples from literature you have read.
2. Trace and analyze the character of Bryce as he changes from a more carefree, innocent boy to a wiser, young man. What are the significant events that change Bryce?
3. After thoroughly analyzing Bryce's growth throughout Flipped, do you think Flipped could be considered Bryce's Coming of Age story? Why or why not?
4. Are there any other characters in Flipped who go through a Coming of Age experience? Who? Why do you think so?
