Essay Topics

1.

How might the narrative read differently if it were told with a linear structure, beginning with Earhart’s early life and ending with her death?

2.

Write a short piece (about 1,000 words) where you imagine what might have happened to Earhart. Did she disappear or invent a new identity? When writing, you are not bound by fact or the rules of reality. You can write from Earhart’s first-person perspective or in third person.

3.

Choose another biography about Earhart and compare it to Fleming’s. Compare and contrast how they portray Earhart, as well as their themes, tone, and key messages.
