Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

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?
