How does this breakup impact different characters? Choose at least four characters to write about their feelings about the breakup. Use this to discuss, how does a breakup have to do with more than just the characters in a relationship? And how do the way characters feel or think show a complex picture of relationships and breakups, and why people stay in relationships? Consider also how appearance factors into these choices.

Essay Topic 2

First, how does Morgan's response and defensiveness show an ally's reaction gone wrong? How does forgiveness and reconciliation take place after these kinds of racist comments for the characters involved? And how does the handling and response to the situation on many levels show ways, good or bad, that these kinds of comments can be dealt with? Which characters do you think acted right in this situation, and how do you think they could have improved?

Essay Topic 3

When Nick and Abby break up, Simon worries about having a long distance relationship for NYU with Bram. How does this worry and fear show how friend groups model what is possible? How is Simon finally able to free himself of his fear to embrace his truth? Choose one other character in addition to Simon to see how they act based on what they see in others, and how they finally decide to act and think for themselves.
