Passion Essay

In a well-developed personal informal essay of 3-5 pages, consider what are your passions. You can draw on anecdotal experience, readings, famous quotes from others, music lyrics, etc.

Consider this quote from Like Water for Chocolate as your "starting point" or inspiration:


"Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches.” (115)
