Essay Topics

1.

Traveling to find Sybil with Finn, Emma thinks about her relationships with each throughout the novel. How do these platonic and romantic relationships each offer Emma something different? Are they equally important in her life?

2.

How does Finn grow as a character over the course of his road trip with Emma? What troubling memories and destructive habits does he need to confront as she wrestles with her own?

3.

Why do you think the author chose to weave in flashbacks as separate chapters rather than including them in Emma’s present-day narration? How might this have changed the story?
