Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
David makes several escape attempts, but none of them are successful. Why do you think he fails in all of them? Do you think he really wants to escape, or do you think his subconscious enables his capture? Why? Choose one escape attempt and outline what David does to try to escape, how he gets caught, and why you think he gets caught. Be as detailed as possible, using examples from the book to illustrate your point.
Essay Topic 2
David's character begins as an innocent, privileged boy excited about his opportunity to go to camp. By the end, he reminds one of a jaded, confused adult with too much on his shoulders. Outline David's changes step by step throughout the novel, culminating in the role reversal where David is taking care of Katsuk. Be sure to cite examples from the novel.
Essay Topic 3
The hallucination Charles has at the end of Section 2 is a foreshadowing of things to come. What is the hallucination? What event does it foreshadow? Do you think that this is the beginning of his insanity, or do you think that happens at another point? Why? If you think it happened at another point, when do you think it happened, and what evidence can you give to support your theory?
