<p>What work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature has surprised, unsettled, or challenged you, and in what way?</p>

<p>when they ask for a work of art, music, science, mathematics, or literature; are they asking for a SPECIFIC one? Like say song #23 by Mozart or something like the Mona Lisa! Just examples! (haha)</p>

<p>OR do you all think it would be acceptable to state a genre as my topic? Like say for example, rock. I would talk about how rock has influenced me, how i perceive the world because of it, etc. (Note: this is not what i'm doing, i haven't chosen a topic yet, just putting out ideas).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Any thing is acceptable college4three, if your searching to hard for the idea then your lying to yourself. Write about something that has truly had an influence on you.</p>
