<p>Can anyone suggest a way to approach a response essay to a single quote? Is it supposed to be highly personal, supporting my opinion with anecdotes? Or am I trying to justify some profound truth. I really don’t know what to do, since I’ve never written a response essay on a single quote.</p>

<p>College people don’t expect you to reveal to them something profound about life. Just sound like yourself.</p>
