Writing Samples

1. Version 1 : superficial version : a story without much thought : a story written within 3 minutes (this writer doesn’t know what ‘deep’ means)

Snow white teaches us a valuable lesson that we should not eat any fruit from a stranger. I learned that I should be careful about eating fruits. And also I feel bad because Snow white was so poor.

2. Version 2 : a little better version : a story with only first level digging (no deep thinking)

Snow white tells about jealousy. Why did the queen try to kill Snow white? Why was she obsessed about her beauty? Jealousy is the source of hate.

Everyone easily knows this. Better than version 1, but not deep enough.

3. Version 3 : a little twist or fresh perspective or a view from a different angle

This approach should be well supported with evidence. The freshness itself is not the point. From the fresh point, you have to make a strong argument.

4. Version 4 : Highest level. Connect the deep things from lessons/contents of the story to the real world.
