Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Jude says to Guillermo, “I’ve been thinking that you might be, I don’t know, maybe a little magical or something because in my sculpture textbook it talked all about those angels you used to carve as a kid, and it said you were believed to be enchanted, or possessed even” (160). How is this passage connected to the novel’s ideas of where art comes from? Write three pages with four supporting details.
Essay Topic 2
In the end of the novel, Guillermo suggests to Jude that perhaps her mother broke her clay creations in the beginning so they could meet one another (369). Jude had initially told Guillermo that her mother was breaking her bowls because her mother was mad at her (190). What does this reinterpretation say about assumptions? Connect your answer to this question to one other character’s journey in the novel. Provide at least three examples from the text.
Essay Topic 3
I’ll Give You the Sun is narrated in two highly metaphorical voices with figurative language. Think back to previous lessons about the narration. How does the novel say what is thought becomes a reality? Choose one of the narrators and show how their narration and interpretation of the world shapes a world within a world. Write four pages with at least four example details.
