what makes Eleanor & Park unique is that it features central characters that are disconnected from the people around them. Drawing on evidence from the novel, identify the factor that most contributes to this sense of alienation. Is it family life or parenting? Poverty or cultural difference? Bullying at school or elsewhere? 2. Explain how Rowell uses setting and meaningful objects to establish the socioeconomic status of the characters in Eleanor & Park. Some questions to consider as you construct your argument: How does Eleanor’s home differ from Park’s, even though they live in the same basic neighborhood? What things does Park have that Eleanor doesn’t? How do the living conditions of Park’s parents (and even grandparents’) influence his well being? You might also consider examining the spaces and things associated with minor characters such as Eleanor’s father, Steve, and Tina.3. Explain the importance of music and/or literature in Eleanor & Park by analyzing at least four specific works referenced in the novel. To help limit the scope of your paper, consider choosing one of the following options on which to focus: specific songs and books, which books foster relatioships between characters and why, or how certain texts relate to the plot of the novel. (Note: comic books/graphic novels do count as literature, so don’t feel limited to only the novels, poems, and stories mentioned in the book.)4
