 * Personal Essay Assignment Relating to //The Ol’ Man//**

Please write a sincere personal essay on a topic of your choice. What in the text really grabs you so that you might say to yourself, "I can't wait to sit down and write about this!"? What do you connect to in the text? Is there something you love? Hate? Does something inspire you? Is there something you can very strongly relate to personally? Is there something that baffles you? Something that offends you? Something that fascinates you? Something that disturbs you? Something that amazes you or impresses you? Is there something that you think is tremendously important? Is there a connection to your own life?

Whatever the case may be, your topic should be something you sincerely want to write about, that you sincerely care about, something that you think can move you into a flow state when you're working on it. Follow the advice on the wiki called “Important Writing Advice,” which appears on the page called "Writing advice and principles." Write from //your// heart and //your// mind, not someone else’s. :) Write for yourself. :)
