A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

Describe how A Walk to Remember epitomizes the characteristics of a coming-of-age novel. How do the characters experience a loss of childhood innocence in the novel? What characters are confronted with internal conflict and making good choices? How do people in the novel become more community-centered and less self-centered? In what way do the characters achieve maturity?

Teaching Suggestion: Depending on your class, it might be beneficial to introduce or review the concept of a bildungsroman and coming-of-age characteristics; students might be eager to name and discuss other notable coming-of-age works they recall. Because the topic covers many characters and details in the novel, students might benefit from review and notetaking before responding.

Differentiation Suggestion: For students who find whole-text prompts especially challenging, consider allowing students to work with a partner to discuss the characters and record details. A graphic organizer designed by the student (such as a simple table, graph, or chart) might be beneficial in categorizing traits by character and associating which traits contribute to the maturation process.
