Essay Topic 1
The mood of a novel is the general atmosphere or the overall emotional tone the reader gets from reading the book. How would you describe the mood of Howards End? Does the mood change in different parts of the story? If so, what are the differences? What does mood do for a story? Why do we notice it as we read the story? Write an essay discussing the mood of Howards End and how this affected you as a reader. Provide specific examples from the text that support your discussion.
Essay Topic 2
Discuss how the different characters in Howards End approach the ideas of love and marriage. Each character has a different approach to the topic, so in your essay choose at least three characters to compare and contrast. Cite specific examples from the book for each one.
Essay Topic 3
