Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

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

Annabel is happy and excited when she awakens to find herself in her mother's body. Unexpected as it might seem at first to the reader, the opportunity to experience life in her mother's body is not disorienting or strange to her, but rather a gift from her mother. Write an essay that explains why Annabel considers the body switch a gift rather than a punishment, how Annabel communicates the mismatch between her teenage understanding of the world and the adult body she occupies, and how this contributes to the novel.

Essay Topic 3

Write a five-paragraph essay that explores the idea of body switching. For Annabel, how does the body-switching scenario serve her? Or, does it fail her? Why or why not? Will Annabel continue down the path of responsibility or will she relapse into her old habits? Why or why not?
