FAQs on Conceptual Essay - Maturity -

Q: What is the main concept in your essay?

A: My essay is about maturity, specifically how maturity is always the same, no matter the situation. In other words, everyone and everything matures the same.

Q: What was the most challenging aspect of writing your essay?

A: The most challenging aspect of writing my essay was taking all of the disjointed rants I had writing and conjoining parts of them into a cohesive whole. There were many passages that I really liked that simply didn't fit with the main theme of my essay. I hope that I have a chance to use some of these passages in future writing assignments.

Q: If you could go back and make changes or additions, what would you do and why?

A: Looking back, I would like to change my title to something that hooked the reader a little more. Also I would like to go back to my conclusion and revise it to flow more with the rest of the essay. Having an intriguing title is always a good thing because it serves to engage the reader in your essay. My title is also severely lacking in any kind of intriguing qualities. I would like to revise my conclusion because it seemed to be out of place in the rest of my essay, almost as if it was plopped in.

Q: What was the most unexpectedly fun thing about writing this essay?

A: The most unexpectedly fun part of my essay was the preliminary stage where I was simply throwing things onto the page. I ended up with a bunch of random tangents that all seemed to flow from one to another, creating a very interesting thought-process-like rhythm. This is definitely something I would like to do more of in the future.
