Essay Topic 2

When Abby speaks of college, she says excitedly that real life is starting (171). What lessons from the novel do you think the characters have learned that will carry over to the real life? How do you think they still need to evolve or grow? Choose three characters to say what you think they will learned and how this will help them.

Abby and Nick's breakup resonates throughout the novel, making room for new possibilities of romance, while both Abby and Nick, as well as their friends, cope with the fallout. 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?
