Essay Topic 1

Anakin has a unique relationship with Padmy. She is a mother figure, which is seen clearly when she holds him in her arms to soothe his deep sorrow at being parted from his mother. She is also a sister figure, and a potential romantic figure, as evidenced by the feelings he has for her that would rightly be described as "puppy love," but which, with his limited experience of life, he cannot identify.

1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

2. Describe a person in your life who seems to fill more than one "role."

3. Do you think a person can fulfill more than one "role" in a person's life, such as brother, friend, father, mentor, etc. Why or why not?

Essay Topic 2

Coincidence in life is one thing, but coincidence in literature and storytelling is another. The general rule that most writers learn is that it's safe to use coincidence in a story when the result is to get the hero into trouble, or into more trouble than he or she is already in. If the writer succumbs to the temptation to use coincidence to get the hero out of trouble, or to serve the necessities of the plot, the reader's enjoyment diminishes because the natural skeptic in the reader says, "this isn't plausible."

1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

2. Do you think this statement is true? Why or why not?

3. Why do you think something that happens in real life might not be believable in a novel? Support your answer with examples from both real life and fiction.

4. How do you think the cliche "the truth is stranger than fiction" corresponds to this statement?

Essay Topic 3

"In this life you're often born one thing and die another. You don't have to accept that what you're given when you come in is all you'll have when you leave."

1. What do you think is meant by this statement? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

2. What do you want to be though you were not born that person?

3. What do you think you have to overcome in your life in order to leave the legacy you want?
