<p>I did BOTH topics 1 and 4 in one essay for UChicago, but I have no idea which radio button to click. (Should I say I did both in the header for my essay?) </p>
<p>On top of that, can anyone proofread it before Baker Island time?</p>
<p>Do the "what do picture want" option</p>
<p>From the quirky phrases and whatnot of topic 4, I'm guessing they'll see that you did both</p>
<p>Good job, I'm still working on that modest proposal haha</p>
<p>Oh and I dont think I can read it before whatever time cause I have to do my own, but I'd love to read it later cause it sounds interesting :)</p>
<p>Hahaha, I just realised that one of the lines near at the end had a double-meaning I didn't even notice originally. I love the power of the subconscious. I just wrote this today too!</p>
<p>"And yes, what does it want? Why are we all here?” [An audience member is questioning what the lecturer actually brought them in for, but "Why are we all here?" is such a sweet line."]</p>
<p>For those reading it, can anyone tell me how to make best use of this? If I made the double meaning more apparent (like repeating the line later on), would it be worse or better?</p>
<p>(I actually did 3 of the required items in one paragraph ... I could have even additionally included pointillism, the paper airplane and the invisible hand and tie them easily to my topic, but that would have required writing additional dialogue.) </p>
<p>Re-reading again after the fury of my draft-writing, I realised that it gets really philosophical near the middle-end. It's like half a page of abstract discussion that contrasts with the light-hearted approach of the rest of the essay. For those reading it, can anyone tell me if this is a strength or weakness of an essay? (I realise that just like a serious treatment needs "comic relief," a comedy needs "serious relief.")</p>
<p>If you send it or them really fast I might look over them (I'm not home and I'm not sure when I'm leaving).
I can't say if it's a good thing or a bad one, b/c it depends on the context.</p>
<p>Is it sad that I considered applying to the University of Chicago just so I could write their essays?</p>
<p>Because I seriously almost did, just for that.</p>
