<p>First of all, anyone can PM me to trade essays.</p>
<p>Critical Analysis - A Clockwork Orange. Not too original, I know, but I talk for like a third of it about how his decision to use words of Russian origin for his made-up jargon was cheap and played off of people’s fears of the Red Scare.</p>
<p>Conflict - My favorite. It turned out really well, I think. I wrote about how I told my family and friends and community that I’m agnostic (I live in a very very Christian town in MS) and all of the… conflicts haha that it’s caused.</p>
<p>Programs - Nothing special. Cornell II, UTexas, Cornell I, UMich</p>
<p>Problem - The Muslim self-segregation in the Netherlands. I got into cultural relativism vs moral absolutism. Thanks to illuminar for the topic.</p>
<p>Future plans - My second favorite. I talked about being torn between being a professor of philosophy or anthropology or being an engineer.</p>
<p>books: i had ~40 books and 5 periodicals
future plans: teacher
programs: UTexas, UMich, Cornell I, Cornell II
other essays: too identifying - PM me if you want, i’m willing to exchange! :)</p>
<p>Panic: Haha, well, I didn’t really want my essay to follow my general style analysis format or stray off topic. I argued that Vonnegut wanted people to reevaluate their lives/mindsets/beliefs by presenting radical ideas.</p>
<p>St Hudson and Panic. I think the 3 of us where meant to be together.</p>
<p>We are (atleast it appears to be) the only ones who ranked Cornell 1 first.</p>
<p>And St. Hudson you definitely mentioned Thoreau and Civil Disobedience WHICH I wrote my critnal on. Brilliant.</p>
<p>And Panic, lol we go way back. (I just thought of your jesus sandals… the ones you were wearing on the bus when there was that “accident” after canoing… Today at work I managed to knock over an entire case of 20$-a-bottle olive oil, and I cut myself while cleaning up the glass… It follows I thought of that moment last summer.)</p>
<p>TPC: That sounds so sketchy. “pm me if you want, i’m willing to exchange!” But so brilliant.</p>
<p>Perhaps I will. I love sketchy situations. </p>
<p>omg giant you totally made me think three stooges. glass and canoing is dangerous to a person’s health. : P and olive oil is bad for the wallet. : (</p>
<p>hope your ok.</p>
<p>and lol sketchy, are we bringing that back this summer?</p>
<p>ateam: sounds like a really good paper</p>
<p>and i love that one of the cornell programs is unpopular-ish makes me feel better about my chances. and it should be a hardcore little group.</p>
<p>I don’t get it, Cornell I sounded awesome when I first read it. I mean I don’t know anything about the Caribbean or anything, but the whole culture of aspect of the seminar seems fun to me. Unless, of course, I got the two Cornells screwed up, which would suck for my seminar preference essay.</p>
<p>Giantredlobster, I thought I read someone’s post mentioning Walden a few pages back! By the way, I mainly applied after reading your and Tako’s posts, so thanks!</p>
<p>yeah in my “essay” when I talked about Cornell I I said that although I was concerned that I knew nothing of Caribbean culture, I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between art and social/political history, so I would still love to do the seminar.</p>
<p>My essays:
Critnal: I analyzed P.D. Eastman’s “Are You My Mother?” (You may have read it when you were four). Specifically, the author’s message about identity, Christianity and mankind’s search for solace and comfort throughout the ages. This was my favorite essay.</p>
<p>Issue: I wrote about trusted computing and the possible effects it could have on privacy and censorship in the near future. Kind of Orwellian.</p>
<p>Conflict: My conflict with writing my conflict essay, more of a biography up to this point in my life and my relationship with books and words and other forms of creative expression.</p>
<p>Futures: This essay sucked. I basically said that my future is not my career; my future is my life and everything I want in it, and my career is just part of that. I don’t want my job to rule my life and kill me slowly like I see happening to my father. I did talk a little about my careers and education and stuff, but it wasn’t really the focus… Ugh. It was all over the place. I wrote it way late at night and didn’t have enough time to review it the next day.</p>
<p>Seminars:Cornell II (Globalization is so important! Plus it sounds like a good social studies class, so that’s good.)
UT Austin (This one just sounded great. I love movies!)
UMich (I’m not sold on global warming, but I think the other aspects of the environment and its effects on life are interesting)
Cornell I (Eh, it sounded alright. I’m sure I’d like it if I went, they just didn’t sell me on the description.)</p>
<p>I’d trade my critnal, issue or conflict essay readily.</p>
<p>ahhh. although the application process is over, i STILL find myself stalking this thread!! i can’t help procrastinating… u_u</p>
<p>Critnal: wrote about the inseparability/gravitational pull of good and evil, strength and weakness, etc. in steinbeck’s east of eden… </p>
<p>Issue: how indifference is the ultimate “destructive force” and how it affected child soldiers and other historical events. definitely the LAMEST essay ever! i wish i could take this one back from the admittance committee! </p>
<p>Conflict: my conflict with my anti-Japanese (Korean) grandmother and my pro-Japanese stance. kind of hard to understand unless you read the essay?</p>
<p>Future: basically outlined my mindset and how i had come to the decision that teaching was my future. </p>
<p>Seminars: UT Austin, Cornell 1, Cornell 2, UMich (i think i was too harsh on the UMich one… AHHH! i wrote about how it appealed the least to me.)</p>
<p>====</p>
<p>wooooow. tasp is totally taking over my mind!
during apush, i found myself dreaming of a TASP acceptance instead of paying attention to DBQ drilling… </p>
<p>haha. this was my doodle on the back of my DBQ worksheet… (:</p>
<p>nice.
again, if anybody wants to exchange essays, PM me. There is nothing else to do now that the apps are in… other than wait… and wait… and wait…
… haha</p>
I just dont want to post what i wrote about on this forum out here :P</p>
