Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

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.

Essay Topic 2

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 3

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.
