Whose Reality was really restricting. I thought the prompts were suppose to be general but I felt a couldn't use a really strong paragraph I had on repression. Hopefully I adapted my the rest of my piece well enough.

Some like "The ability to compromise is important when responding to conflict"

I did paragraphs like this:
1. On compromise
2. Not only compromise, but peace and understanding
3. Not only compromise, tolerance and respect
4. Above all, search for truth and justice is most important

The Identity & Belonging prompt was so vague... and different to what I'd prepared for.
I interpreted in (what I think) an obscure way.
Wrote about how other people see you sometimes mattering more than how you see yourself, with comical reflections on conversations and observations of people I'd had at house parties :/

Yeh I wrote about how we define ourselves through others, we lose friends i.e. we break connections with others then we redefine ourselves with new connections. related it to witness but I also tried to say that not everyone is like that, there are a few who don't need others to define them which lead me to write about Sheldon Cooper. He defines himself, he doesn't need connections so he will never change.

This year's  "Whose Reality" was a topic that I was least expecting. It was clearly served to help those who had creative, and thus escape the defining aspect of Experience. Like for those doing expository, like myself, got to fucking define Experience. Anyways, I had 45 mins left to do it, rushed it like a boss.

Am I the only one who like "Whose reality?" prompt? I thought it was exceptional for an imaginative piece (which is what I did)

related it to witness

Is it weird that I only said that talking to someone at a party is like raising a barn to shelter your awkwardness together? (in a much more eloquent way xD )

You're bonding over a situation so it works I think. S*** I forgot about the whole barn raising thing, it would have worked well!
