Sustainability and Freedom
The prompt for our essay was very vague as always, but this year I found a more indirect way to address it. I based my paper on saying that the prompt was incorrect by saying that freedom and sustainability were not compatible, so i said that the choice to be sustainable comes from freedom, but to succed one most sacrifice some luxeries from their freedom. I like this prompt, but a prompt with some detail would help to make a more concrete argument.

I know; we really do like to give you prompts that can open up to almost anything. So long as you can sort of keep to the point about relating the two terms, you are okay. Sounds like you learned a secret with this year's assignment: you CAN do almost anything so long as you twist your writing to illustrate some aspect of the prompt. --- By the way, it is not as easy as you might think to write a prompt that gives some definition of the 'playing field' while allowing writers to take off into what they know.
