Personal Essays

1).  The most helpful thing there for starting topic ideas is when he said, "Give them the opportunity to say, 'Ah! Yes.  I've never been there or done that, but I can relate to what the author's talking about.'"

2).  "Make the emotions real and specific by noting specifics and details that draw the reader into the experience, rather than just setting them aside as observers.

3).  Three I'll probably use as a write are:  Letting the reader walk away from the article with a good idea of why I felt the way I did about my opinion;  Write as evocatively as possible;  Avoid philosophical rants which make no connection to your reader's experience.
