Essay prompts for Persuasion

Your essay is not due until the 20/21, but I wanted you to have the prompts as you finish the reading.

Write a 500-600 word essay on Persuasion using one of the following prompts: (Please include examples from the book and some outside research).

1. Discuss the title for the book. Is it fitting? Jane Austen probably did not title the book. It was probably named after her death. Include any research for possible titles before Persuasion.


2. Discuss the examples of behavior of parents to their children in the novel. Give specific examples from the text.

3. Discuss the irony and sarcasm that Jane Austin uses in the text. Give specifics from research and your own reading.
