Essay Topics

1.

By wearing Jordan’s clothes and switching to a vegan diet, Edward carries on parts of his older brother’s identity. How does he emulate the actions of other passengers after the crash? How does Edward’s new identity represent victims other than his brother?

2.

Why does Napolitano choose to write about the crash of Flight 2977 in flashbacks interspersed throughout the novel? Why would a purely linear storytelling approach be less effective?

3.

How does the revelation of Jordan’s secret relationship with Mahira propel Edward’s growth? How does it hinder his coping?
