Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Daisy and Steve both have very different ideas on how to live a life. Both are very goal oriented on a professional level but seem to have little else in common. Compare and contrast their personal and professional lives and goals and how they relate to the story.

Essay Topic 2

For a psychologist, Daisy seems to be mostly unaware what is going on with her own life and emotions. It is also obvious that Daisy does not understand what is going on with her own body, as seen in the discovery of the pregnancy. Do you feel that it is common for someone to be so well educated and intuitive toward others but not toward themselves? Give another example of how Daisy might have used her education to benefit her situation.

Essay Topic 3

Daisy's parents are extremely upset after seeing Daisy on the news. Kevin tries to calm them down but they are ranting over the phone about the media coverage.

Why were Daisy's parents upset? Were they bothered more by the incident at the fundraiser or the fact that Daisy was supposedly living with Steve? Explain.
