Essay Topic 1
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?
Essay Topic 2

1. Fully explain why you think Flipped is titled as such. Do you think it is the best title for the book? Why or why not? Can you think of a better title? Why would you choose it?
2. How important is a title in influencing you to consider reading a book? Explain your answer.
3. Do you think a title needs to have direct relevance to a book's content? Explain your answer.
4. Have you ever read a book that when you finished, you do not understand the relevance of the title? Does it discourage you from "trusting" that particular author again?

3. Which type of plot do you find more interesting? Why?
