first thing that comes to mind after reading "the essay," is the movie "a beautiful mind." this is so because in the movie the main character john nash speaks about how going to class rots your mind, he believes that class will take your imagination away and just make you think the way they want you to. it's almost the same when compared to this essay. the idea that teacher dictates what we should or should not write about so the level of creativity for the piece of writing we have is gone. all we have is directions and or orders to follow. all of which goes against what the meaning of an "essay" should be.
