I used option 5, and wrote an essay on the following Salman Rushdie quote: “A poet’s work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it from going to sleep.” Then I wrote 6 paragraphs, one about each of those things: “starting arguments,” for example, was about my mother and how she wants me to be a lawyer, not a writer, and how that’s affected our relationship. So, you know. I don’t think it necessarily has to be a question; it’s just what you make of it.
