When faced with questions of the future, it is vital to explore passions, if only to learn.

To clarify, the smallest interests can lead to opportunities and change, so it's important to expand on what seems special or unique to you.
DeleteThe overall theme of my essay is that family memories are something to be cherished and that they can be made at the strangest of times. My intention behind sharing this essay is simply to remind the reader that time spent with your family, all together, is something that is extremely valuable.
ReplyDeleteMy purpose is to show the power of a place to reproduce the intergenerational will.
ReplyDeleteI think the purpose of my essay is just to tell a story of a personal experience. However, for some portions the purpose is to show the reader how differently people live in small villages in India. For example I say, "The school was just one thing that was very different from big cities. The environment that they created was very friendly. Everyone knew each other's life stories and their names. People were also always ready to help." I think the over -arching theme is to show how "New places bring new outlooks to life." In other words, by visiting new and very different places you can experience another way of life.

DeleteThe key purpose and over-arching theme of my essay is to show how previous experiences can help pay dividends. This is executed through my story of my first time at CTD, where I give details about my struggles, dips, and failures that are later hidden by my success in recovering from them. I intend to achieve my thesis by then linking how my hard work of redirecting myself helped me later in life, not only in terms of academics but in my worth ethic as well.

The key purpose of my essay is to mainly tell a story about one of my experiences that changed the way I looked at things. It is also to entertain the readers with an interesting and strange encounter I had. The over-arching theme behind my narrative is to be aware that anything can occur at anytime and to always be aware and keep track of the things that are valuable to you.
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of my essay is to write about the life changing trip I took to the mountains of Sichuan. There, I experienced and saw so many new things, and it broadened my knowledge on our diverse world. The theme of my narrative is more universal, "A small event may have a significant impact on your worldview or perspective."
ReplyDeleteMy purpose is to show that embarrassing incidents happen and it's ok
ReplyDeleteThe key purpose and intention of my narrative is to show that the game is not over till it's over. It talks about how comebacks in any situation can happen easily with determination, motivation, and drive. My narrative also shows the different elements within my response that drove my team to comeback and win the championship.

The purpose of sharing this essay was simply to share it. If I have to identify my "moral of the story", it would most likely be that everybody gets embarrassed especially as children, but eventually we learn how to deal with it as we experience it more often. I chose to write something from when I was around eight just so people would know that they were not the only ones who suffered from embarrassment as a child, and you can learn from those experiences just like I think I have.

The over-arching theme of my essay is to show that I'm usually never prepared for anything and that I really need to work on fixing that.

ReplyDeleteMy purpose for writing this essay is to tell a story and get a grade. Nothing particularly inspiring ever happened in my life but this one stands out the most. The theme is that you reap what you sow since I fail because I failed to work.
ReplyDeleteMy purpose for writing this essay is to share the universal theme that objects and people may not last, but the memories connected to them are worth appreciating as they will never die out.
