3. Choose one specific incident in Flipped to discuss and compare one of the characters' response to how you think you would respond.
Essay Topic 2
Characters are an integral and important part of almost all novels. Discuss the following:
1. Compare/contrast the characters of Juli and Bryce. How are they similar? How are they different? Is there a flaw in each of their personalities? Be specific and give examples.
2. Compare/contrast the characters of Bryce's father and Juli's father. How do they seem different? Which do you like more? Why? Which one seems more of a well-rounded character?
3. Thoroughly analyze how three of the secondary characters in Flipped help drive the plot and what their contribution is to the storyline. Are any of the secondary characters unnecessary? Indispensable? Which of the secondary characters are likable? Which are either unlikable or even despicable? Be specific and give examples.
Essay Topic 3
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?
