Andrew Reese Assignment 20

Has Mr. Logsdon asked a bunch of children to define good and evil? Does the prompt ask about something you have no experience with? Do you just not care about the subject enough to have formed an opinion? Well, thanks to me, you can finally have a slightly easier time doing an already pretty easy assignment.

1. Interpret the prompt as loosely as needed. Do you think I consider writing blog posts a talent? If so, well, no. But it is something I can do, which means it's good enough. Some of us just don't have enough life experience to answer the question the way it was meant to, so just do what you need to. If you try to answer a prompt about your favorite pirate when you didn't even think pirates were real until reading the prompt ten minutes ago, you can't write all that much. So just stretch the definition of "pirate", "favorite" or "your" until you can!

2. Don't let the fear of making a mediocre post paralyze you. If you can't make a thoughtful yet engaging remark on the nature of morality, don't worry. Almost nobody can. You need to look inside yourself and ask "What am I capable of?" Sometimes the answer is "not very much, but I need to do something."

3. When all else fails, make something up. You probably don't want to do this, but what's the alternative? Just take a zero? I think all of us would prefer not to live in that timeline. Besides, worst case scenario, Mr. Logsdon thinks something about you that is not actually true.
