the most memorable paper i wrote was in the beginning of 11th grade. the topic of the essay was symbolism, so i wrote about symbolism in the movie "the lion king". i was inspired by a class discussion that i had in my 9th grade year. i will never forget that day in class because it taught me to see the bigger picture in the simplest things. that day helped to develop my thinking and expand my creativity.
during the next class, my teacher read some of the papers out loud. my teacher read my paper as an example to the other students. the teacher was so impressed and the enthusiasm she showed while reading my paper made me feel on top of the world.
on the closed-open continuum, my paper falls on the open form end. the assignment was freestyle writing. the teacher did not want a specific structure, or even a thesis. that assignment was a way for the teacher to see how well developed our writing was. it was me, expressing my thoughts and opinions in the form that i chose.
evaluating my past in writing, i feel that i am better at open form writing because i am free to do as i choose, and i like having that power. just give me a topic and i will take it from there. i do my best work when i can express myself with no limits.
