Undergraduate / Common App essay on swearing (Prompt #1) A Funking Piece of Ship [4]
Hey Rutwik ! You certainly developed an imaginative essay that hooks the reviewer simply from the title that you created. It is informative and really introduces an aspect of your personality that could be perceived as unique and meaningful. The only problem is, the essay isn't about a personal background, identity, interest, or talent. It is more like an essay that you wrote on the fly for the sake of wanting to create an interesting essay. So why not try doing this, change the prompt to suit the essay rather than writing a totally new essay to suit the prompt? You can use the following in place of the first prompt:
Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
This prompt instruction suits the essay you wrote to a T. I don't want you to waste the time and imagination that it took for you to create an extremely well developed open prompt essay. You should definitely use this essay, but change the prompt to suit your written presentation. You can even use your parenthetical explanation as the creative prompt instruction itself. Excellent work. I can tell you have writing potential within you. To paraphrase Star Wars: The writing force is strong in this one...
