Major Essay Assignment #1

Major Assignment #1--Narrative Essay

You may choose to write on 1 of the following 2 options:

1: If you have ever been involved in or witnessed a situation in which someone was in trouble, write a narrative essay about the incident. If people failed to help the person in trouble, explain why you think no one acted. If people did act, tell how. Be sure to account for your own actions. (This is most related to Martin Gansberg's essay "Thirty-Eight Who Saw The Murder Didn't Call the Police.")

2: Write a narrative essay about a time when you had to do something that went against your beliefs or convictions. (This is most related to George Orwell's essay, "Shooting an Elephant.")

We will go over the requirements in class.
