Essay Topic 1

The story has come to a good ending, fulfilling the moral that being honest is the only way to get everything that a person might want.

2. Do you think the above moral is true? Do all honest people get everything a person might want? Why or why not?

3. If one said that hard work is the only way to get everything a person might want how would that statement conflict with the above statement?

Essay Topic 2

While Ranofer is strong and moral, Gebu is weak and immoral, preying on Ranofer's good qualities to force him to be quiet about Gebu's own illegal schemes. It is clear to the reader at this point that Ranofer's situation is a dangerous one and that he will have to fight Gebu in order to make his dreams come true.

1. Compare Ranofer's character with Gebu's. Use examples from the book to support your answer.

2. Do you think Ranofer is wrong for remaining silent about Gebu's activities? Why or why not? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

3. Why do you think Ranofer's situation is a dangerous one? Use examples from the book to support your answer.

Essay Topic 3

The more Ranofer thinks about it, though, the more he realizes that a tomb is the only place Gebu could have gotten a goblet such as the one he has. Ranofer is frightened because he knows the punishment is death, but he also knows that Gebu must be punished. This is a moral dilemma that Ranofer must handle alone because he does not want to cause trouble for his friends.

1. Why do you think Ranofer believes Gebu is stealing from tombs because of the goblet? Where else might Gebu have gotten the goblet?

2. Why do you think Ranofer is frightened because of the punishment for tomb robbing? Do you think he is concerned his half brother could be hung? Why or why not?

3. Discuss why Ranofer's decision is a moral dilemma? How could his friends get in trouble based on his decision?
