Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Now when the battle is about to begin and suspense and excitement need to be heightened, the author makes maximum use of separated lines of action, dividing the conflict into four parts. The chief advantage of this division of action is that at a high point in the action, the outcome of a critical conflict can be left unresolved in favor of a switch to a different line of action, thus continually escalating the suspense felt by a reader or an audience.

1. Do you think that separating the action does indeed escalate the tension? Why or why not?

2. Do you think it's confusing to divide the action into separate parts? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 2

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

2. Describe a time when you or someone you know of, has thought one thing about a person and then was proven wrong after getting to know the person.

Essay Topic 3
