Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

At the meeting with Annabel, Miss McGuirk, Mr. Dilk and Dr. Artunian think they are talking to Annabel's mother. In reality, they are talking to Annabel, and their words have an unexpected effect on her. Write an essay that focuses on the negative feelings that their words engender in Annabel and the positive, negative or neutral effect it has on Annabel's character development. Compare and contrast her feelings after the meeting with the feelings she has for school and her teachers at the beginning of"Freaky Friday." Be sure to clearly label the emotions involved. Provide evidence from the novel to support your assertions.

Essay Topic 2

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 3

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.
