ESSAY PROMPT
The main purpose of the personal essay is to mine your own life, your own observations of real life, for a non-fiction narrative of 400+ words, that explores an event that had a meaningful impact in your life. The event can be very specific (learning to water ski for the first time or getting in a hang-gliding accident) or more drawn out (making it through the pandemic or your 7th grade year at middle school). The impact the event/experience has had on your life is the through-line, the theme, your essay’s “thesis.”
The format and style of your essay should be approximately similar to The Chase Download The Chaseand Total Eclipse Download Total Eclipse(essays by Annie Dillard), i.e. an essay that focuses on one event as told in an in-scene recollection. (The Chase is assigned to read for this Thursday, April 13th.) The topic can be humorous, tragic, insightful. It’s up to you. This essay is meant to be about your life, so have fun with it, let your own writing style shine. Imagine a future literature class reading your essay in an anthology book of great essays.
