<p>for those of you who are familiar with the admission committee, tell me what they would think of this essay.</p>
<p>PROMPT: You are hosting a brunch for historical, literary, or other disreputable persons (think: Mad Hatter’s Tea Party). What is your menu? Who are your guests? In answering this question, imagine a scenario: We want some exposition, serious or silly, we would accept some dialogue, and we are willing to trust you to respond in such a way that your brain power, your imagination, your sense of taste, and your capacity to tell a story reveal something true about you.</p>
<p>IDEA: I assemble the most hated men in the history of the world: Satan sadaam, osama, hitler, and stalin. Stalin and hitler are mentors to sadaam. Sadaam brings his new boyfriend, osama to lunch. Satan shows up and trys to win back sadaam’s heart (southpark) This all occurs while feasting on a pregnant panda.</p>
<p>“[…] we are willing to trust you to respond in such a way that your brain power, your imagination, your sense of taste, and your capacity to tell a story reveal something true about you.”</p>
<p>Not sure it would reveal anything particularly good…</p>
<p>I enjoy offensive humor, but this really sounds more trite than satirical. Maybe what you have in mind doesn’t translate that well into essay format.</p>
<p>Plus, you’re ripping off South Park with the whole Saddam/Satan thing. So you’re not going to reveal much about yourself (most likely), and you’re not going to be original either. That’s not the essay for the upcoming app anyway.</p>
<p>Well that would certainly reveal something about your sense of taste. ummm… please don’t use that essay. Also, this year’s prompts are not even up yet.</p>
