Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

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.

Essay Topic 2

In Chapter 11, Annabel explains everything that her mother goes through in the past day. Write an essay that discusses the following:

Part 1: How does Annabel's mother spends her day as Annabel? What are Ellen's motives? Why does she not let Annabel in on the secret earlier?

Part 2: What are the revelations that her mother makes to her? What changes does Ellen initiate for Annabel? How does Annabel react to the revelations and changes?

Part 3: Was Ellen right to make the choices she did? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 3

The author uses point of view as an important literary element to allow the reader to experience the story a certain way. Point of view may stay the same or change within a novel, or even within a chapter. Write an essay that defines all the the point-of-view characters, and how point of view is used. How does this type of point of view contribute to the novel? Is this a good or bad choice for this novel, or is the point of view that this story is told in optional? Why or why not? Provide examples to support your argument.
