Think about what it is, at this point in your life, that concerns you most. What is it that you most think about when you are alone with your own thoughts? Your concerns might be very “local,” like what if your kids don’t get into Campus School, or you may be concerned about something much more global, like whether ISIS is going to take over the world. Your concern might be “small,” like what if Santa doesn’t bring me that Tory Burch purse that I NEED, or something much bigger–a health issue of your own or with a parent. After you’ve settled on a topic, choose two or three of the texts that we’ve read this
semester and find passages in them that speak to what you’re getting at in your paper.
So, your paper will be at least two and not more than three pages long. It must be done in MLA format, and
it must incorporate quotations from your sources.
