A. Instructions
Choose a topic that enables you to tell a short, interesting personal story. Your story can be funny, suspenseful, meaningful, or exciting, but it must focus on one event. For example, if you decide to write about traveling to Denmark, you should not write about the entire trip. Choose one event for example, an afternoon you spent bicycling on an island, or your first taste of smoked herring, or visiting the childhood home of Hans Christian Anderson and tell a detailed story that focuses on that event.

In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the touchstone.
Following are some ideas that can help you to select a topic for your story:

Firsts Think of a “first” in your life and describe that moment in detail.
Proud Moment Choose a moment when you felt proud about an accomplishment.
Adversity Describe a time when you had to think or act quickly to overcome a challenge.
Traveling Recall a memorable experience you had while traveling.

B. Think About Your Writing
Below your completed narrative, include answers to all of the following reflection questions:

1. Which narrative techniques did you use to bring your story to life? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Did you use vivid description, sensory details, and/or dialogue to engage readers? Provide two examples from your essay in which you show readers rather than tell them. EXAMPLE: A sentence such as “I glanced at the clock, grabbed my briefcase, and sprinted for the elevator” uses more descriptive language than simply saying “I was running late for the meeting.”

2. How did your purpose and audience shape the way in which you wrote your narrative? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Your hypothetical audience extends beyond the people who will evaluate your narrative. Which individuals or groups were you addressing when you wrote your narrative, and how did consideration of your audience and your purpose influence the way in which you wrote it?

3. Provide a concrete example from your narrative that shows how you have written specifically for this audience and purpose. (3-5 sentences) Sophia says: Consider including a quotation from your essay and explaining how it was written to appeal to your audience, and to accomplish your purpose. Alternatively, you might describe a theme, tone, or narrative technique that you used and explain how it was intended to appeal to your audience, and to achieve your purpose.

this is the essay topic:

A suspected terrorist is arrested in connection with an imminent terror threat.  A bomb has been discovered at a local shopping center.  The timer shows that the bomb will detonate in 2 hours.  The man in custody is believed to be the bomb maker and the only person who knows how to disable/detonate the bomb.  You and your partner are police officers assigned to this case.  You both have been brought in to interrogate the suspect.  An hour passes, and you havent made any progress.  Your partner unplugs all of the recording equipment and asks you to leave the room.  Twenty minutes later the officer exits the room with the code to deactivate the bomb.  You look inside the room to find the suspect unconscious and his face covered in blood.  Your partner asks you to back up his story that the suspect became aggressive during the interrogation and that he was simply defending himself.  There is no tape to challenge your version of the events.  It would be the terrorists word against yours.  With the deativation code received, the bomb was deactivated potentially saving thousands of lives. 
QUESTIONS: Would you follow your partners instructions?  Why or why not?  Is the use of police interrogation torture ever justified for a greater good?  You should present both sides to this argument and then indicate what you ultimately believe.  Be sure to include in your answer the ethical and legal consequences of your decision.
