There's a school-wide essay contest going on and the winner gets $100. I plan to make an entry about bags and holes. So, what do you think?

If you make a suggestion on the content, it won't take effect, because I'm supposed to finish it without help. I could be advised to do something else, however...

I left my vote as null, because I really can't say. If they can manage to take it seriously, maybe...

I'm rather hoping they don't have to take it seriously. The contest information doesn't say what kind of essay it should be.

Did it have any specific rules involving the essay layout? Because I know you can't write personal pronouns, and there's also that whole shpiel with topics and subtopics.

This essay really got my interest though. I'm not sure if you'll win or not, but it was entertaining.

I don't think there are any rules at all, besides having a word count of between 500 and 600. I guess I should ask about that tomorrow.

And thanks for the feedback. It was smart enough, considering how smart the rest of us here are. smile.gif

I think it shoudl win the $100. It's a fine essay. It brings it all home, you know? It makes people think outside the bag.

but suppose that theres a bag in a hole, that is the hole in another bag, that has two holes with two bags in each, each of which have one empty hole, and one hole with a bag inside it with a pet rock inside.

That would be really clever. Say you were trying to hide the pet rock from evil villians who want to destroy the world and stop Christmas and steal candy from babies. You could hide the rock in a bag and tell the villians you put it in a bag, and it would take them days to guess the right bag. And by the time they did, you would have found a frying pan or a can of bug spray or something to smack them over the head with. Problem solved!

They delayed announcing the results until January. Either they honestly didn't think they got enough submissions, or they didn't get any submissions that are good enough. I find this threatening.
