Written with the same flair you’ve brought to your daily writing and questions.

Possibilities abound.Look back over your questions and commentaries for suggestions.Below are a few possibilities, but note that they’re very general: they’d need to be made quite specific to succeed in so short an essay.For example “Symbols of Self in Trifles and SND” might concentrate on the birdcage and the trunk or on the canary and the Chinese lantern, probing them for their subtleties, their nuances, their meaning.
