Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Though it is not mentioned in detail in LORD OF CHAOS, the readers are given enough information to learn that Rand A'Thor was, up until a short time ago, a shepherd in a small village in Two Rivers. Discuss the following:
How do you think Rand has changed from who he was before Aes Sedai Moiraine comes to his village to the Rand he is in LORD OF CHAOS?
Why do you think Jordan chooses a young, unknown man to be the hero of the series?
How would the book have been different if Rand had been a prince, as he learns in LORD OF CHAOS that he is in actuality?
How would the book have been different if the Dragon Reborn had been a female?
Essay Topic 2
In the last few chapters, Rand is kidnapped and shielded from using Saidin. Discuss one of the following:
Describe and then analyze the kidnapping and subsequent rescue.
What do you think are the motives behind Rand's kidnapping? Do you think they are sound? Do you think the kidnapping is wise? Ethical?
How do you think the kidnapping and Rand's subsequent almost complete mistrust of Aes Sedai will impact the next books in the series?
Essay Topic 3

Describe and analyze Tel'Aran'Rhiod and how it impacts the plot in LORD OF CHAOS.
Describe and analyze Egwene's use of the Dream World.
