I thought the prompt was vague, and could be interpreted in two ways:
1) the window is 'real' while the scene is imagined i.e. focus is on scene's significance
2) the scene is real, but you always feel as though you're behind a window i.e. focus is on why you always see a window i.e. the window is imagined
Does anyone know what I'm saying? Anyway, I did the latter and talked about how being an immigrant, sitting in my IB HL English Literature and History classes, it feels like I'm not one of 'them', the students who grew up with Milton and Dante and parents who could actually speak English and so I feel like there's a window between us. This led to a reflection on my aspirations, and since I'm a girl, there was a bit of a glass-ceiling/window undertone too.
I hope I didn't understand the prompt wrong and mess up and come off as a snob trying to be clever... O___O
