Lily Johns
Hello! My name is Lily and I worked on this project over my semester in the Writing Capstone course. I'm not really sure what to say here, but I hope that you find my project as informative and inconclusive as I did! I suppose this is the nature of inquiry.
​
Please refer to the image to the right for my inspiration for this essay. As it was probably pretty evident, I think this college essay is one of the coolest things ever. I hope that you now share the admiration for this essay and my sister's writing that I do. I honestly wish it could be published and referenced somewhere other than my (although quite detailed) summary. Maybe this will be my next project!
