Unit 4: Someone You
Love
Choose one of the topics below, or suggest another topic to me that you
find more interesting.
- Write a
word-portrait of a person you love or have loved. Describe this
person, both in terms of physical appearance and personality.
Narrate how this person came into your life, and describe your
relationship, giving specific
examples of how this person has changed your life. What
have you learned from this relationship, and how can you apply this
knowledge in your life now and in the future?
- Describe a
person you have seen in a way other people haven't. This might
not be a person you love; in fact, this could be someone you have
reason to dislike even though others seem to love him or her. Or
it could be a person whom other people avoid, but you have found
lovable characteristics in. First describe how others see this
person, and then contrast that with how you see this person because
have seen him or her in a different way. Be sure to give specific examples of
qualities, behaviors, incidents, etc., that support your view of this
person. What have you learned from this relationship that you can
apply to your life now?
- Sometimes we
lose touch with a person who has been very important to us at a certain
time in our lives. Relationships change because of physical
distance, misunderstandings that are never cleared up, or new
relationships that come between us. Think of a person you have
cared deeply about who is no longer in your life. Describe your
relationship with that person, using specific examples so the
reader can relate to your feelings. What influence did this
person have on your life? Explain when, how, and why you lost
touch with this person. How has the loss of this relationship
affected you? Have you tried to re-establish this
relationship? Have your feelings toward this person changed over
time?
