Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

1. Do you think one of the values of literature is to serve as a reflection of oneself? Why or why not?

3. Choose one specific incident in "Wicked Lovely" to discuss and compare one of the characters' response to how you think you would respond.

Essay Topic 2

Aislinn is in some ways a larger-than-life heroine. Despite incredible odds, she usually comes out on top, in "Wicked Lovely" and in the other books in the series. Discuss the following:

1. Does having a larger-than-life hero make that person less of a hero? In other words, which is more admirable--a hero who ultimately always "lands on her feet," or one who strives against impossible odds and doesn't succeed?

2. Does a character have to be successful in order to be a hero? Explain your answer.

3. Choose one other character besides Aislinn who you might call a hero/heroine and explain why you choose that person.

4. Does every work of fiction have to have a hero? Explain your answer.

Essay Topic 3

Titles often play a vital role in making a person decide to read a particular book. Discuss the following:

1. Fully explain why you think "Wicked Lovely" is titled as such. Do you think it is the best title for the book? Why or why not? Can you think of a better title? Why would you choose it?

2. How important is a title in influencing you to consider reading a book? Explain your answer.

3. Do you think a title needs to have direct relevance to a book's content? Explain your answer.

4. Have you ever read a book that when you finished, you do not understand the relevance of the title? Does it discourage you from "trusting" that particular author again?
