Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

After Morgan's comment, Abby says she forgives, but is not sure if she trusts Morgan any more (257). Leah in the beginning of the novel does not want to forgive Martin, and later does not want to forgive Morgan. How is forgiveness shown to work in the novel across many levels? Consider how the conflict and resolution is spread over many chapters with the characters discussing it several times What does forgiveness mean, and what does it resolve? Is forgiveness an end or a process? Use both these characters and one other character for your argument.

Essay Topic 2

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? 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 3

At the end of the novel, Leah says, "This is not my perfect prom night, and it's not the happy ending I pictured. It's not an ending at all. But it's mine" (336). By what she says, and what happens in the novel, what does it mean to have a happy ending or a perfect night? How does the vision, such as Leah's mom discussed earlier, connect to reality? Think about the ending of the novel, and discuss how this ending, if not fully happy, is entirely Leah's, and how this could be better than happiness.
