Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Write an essay that discusses how successfully Annabel plays the "mother role" in the novel. What is Annabel's conduct and interaction with family members appropriate to her new role? Do they seem to notice a change in her? If they do, does this matter? Answer these questions and then explain what this contributes to the novel. Does it reveal character, theme, or something else? Why?

Essay Topic 2

From the scene on the street with her crying brother to the encounter with the runaway washing machine to a school conference on her grades -- and more -- Annabel finds herself challenged as she lives as and must interact with others as an adult. Select one scene from the book that you feel most prominently demonstrates growth in Annabel's character. Describe how and why she has grown, and explain why. Provide evidence from the novel to back up your assertions.

Essay Topic 3

At the beginning of the novel, Annabel thinks that her mother's life is a lot easier than her own, but is it? Write an essay that compares and contrasts Annabel's perception and the reality of her mother's life. How does this contribute to the novel? Is her mother's life as easy as Annabel thinks it is? Why or why not? Be sure to tie in the concept of irony, if appropriate.
