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
When Oscar opens up to Jude, she thinks, “I understand the quicksand of shame” (234). How is shame a quicksand for these two characters? And what pulls them out of the quicksand? Write three pages with at least four examples from the text.
Essay Topic 3
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.
