inkraven 3 / 4 Jan 5, 2012 #1This is easily the weirdest essay I've ever written. I have a secondary backup essay in case this one is too...odd. Please critique this, I beg you, I will return the favor. The script format is my own creative decision.Prompt: Much of the work that students do at Emerson College is a form of storytelling. If you were to write the story of your life until now, what would you title it and why? Please be briefEssay:FADE IN:INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHTThe room is almost pitch black except for the blue glow of a laptop reflectingon a young man's face in the corner of the room.NAME OMITTED (V.O.)The Significance of Insignificance.INT. OMITTED HIGH SCHOOL -- DAYWe see the same young man walking down the crowded hallways of a high school inslow motion.NAME OMITTED (V.O.)All my life I had been a slave to significant factors.The young man waves to another student passing by in the hallway. A bright lightshines through a nearby window.NAME OMITTED (V.O)What I saw on the surface was all that existed. But my years in high schoolwere an awakening rather than a transition.The intensity of the light drowns out the walls and the people so that only theyoung man is visible walking into a white nothingness.NAME OMITTED (V.O)Now, I can finally see the colors in the darkness. The angels in thearchitecture. I can finally embrace the insignificance of my own beingso that I can create something truly...significant.INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHTThe young man is typing quickly on his laptop. Finally, he stops. He eyes the golden"Submit" button at the button on his screen. He takes a deep breath, and clicks it.CUT TO BLACK.
