Essay Topics

1.

Stand Tall is written in the third-person limited point-of-view, focusing on Tree’s perspective. Consider how the narrative would be altered if told from a different character’s perspective.

2.

The tone of the novel shifts dramatically from start to finish. Carefully examine the diction used to explain how and why the tone changes.

3.

Other than Bradley, there are many animals in the narrative. Consider Conan the dog, Nuts the squirrel, Fred the parrot, or Lassie the iguana. What do the different animals symbolize and why? Explain your thinking.
