Essay Topic 1

Annabel and Bill have a significant conversation about money in Chapter 4. Write an essay that analyzes this conversation. What does Annabel, in the guise of her mother, ask her father? What is his reaction, what does he ask Annabel, and why? Be sure to consider two things. Who is asking the question and who does Bill think is asking the question. How does this interaction contribute to the story? Provide examples to support your assertions.

Essay Topic 2

It is a surprise for Annabel to learn that Ben has never liked Mrs. Schmauss because the housekeeper is partial to him while she exhibits apparent dislike of Annabel. Write an essay to explore the theme of sibling rivalry between Annabel and Ben. Be sure to include how Annabel feels about Ben at the beginning of the novel, how Annabel thinks Ben feels about her, and how Ben really feels about Annabel. How does she become aware of this? Does the concept of irony apply? Use examples from the novel to support your argument.

Essay Topic 3

The sibling rivalry between Annabel and Ben is a prominent theme in the novel. Compare and contrast when Annabel and Ben discuss their relationship without Ben being aware that it is his sister he is talking to. Ben adores his sister and will do anything to be more like her, a fact that constantly backfires for the poor kid. Annabel, for the first time, gets to see her brother's true feelings for her. It's ironic she had to be her mother to see it.
