A: Memory vs. Imagination: A Past Infatuation from Childhood
This assignment delves into the concept of memory versus imagination. To do this, you are asked to write a description of your longest standing infatuation. Who or what did you love when you were younger? Were you transfixed by Garfield cartoons, Barney the Dinosaur, James Bond, or Britney Spears? Whatever it is, you are probably thinking of something terribly embarrassing. That’s your subject.
Please attempt to tackle this subject honestly. Don’t feign impartiality; don’t try to be cool. What did this person or trend mean to you? How did this transform your world as a young person?
Please write a free flowing description of this infatuation, attempting to spark your memory of that period in your life.
