they never mentioned that the book essay wasn’t a prompt to be attempted… it’s just a part of the other supplemental essays. i could probably include something like an intro and a conclusion to the book essay which shows hmmm. political consciousness? open mindedness, intellectual inquiry. there was a book fair at sch. that i contributed a lot to and a team of experts from the intl book fair seemed to be impressed by my thoughts on each of these books. this is in the context of reading being discouraged among my age group (at least non self-help, non strictly academic type) as it’s seen as “unproductive.” i’ve been the cause of many conversations about books in most of my social circles and have got a lot of people into reading. the selection of books also show further inquiry/my interests and personality, i think. i’ve included only a list from the past twelve months.
i’m a little against changing it because it’s so close to the deadline.
