Play-Doh to Plato

<p>I was considering writing my essay to be like a "chain of thought"</p>

<p>I would start out with something about Play-Doh (maybe as part of a story, memory, or observation) and eventually end up talking about Plato.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>How could I write this essay successfully without sounding like I'm rambling?</p>
