Write an essay in which you explore a “space” important to who you are using deep, specific detail. This essay asks you to discover the language you need to describe your experiences through the writing process.
“Space” is in quotation marks because space isn’t a literal physical location—though it can be. Space is conceptual and can be used to describe events, experiences, identities, states of mind, and so on.
We are most likely to experience these sorts of spaces have to do with our identities and relationships—familial, religious, professional, gender, sex, and sexuality, race and ethnicity, lingual, social class, financial, ability, morals and values, hopes and dreams, reputation, places lived, intellect, creativity, personal psychology, social psychology, ritual, age, and the list goes on.
