The Almighty Essay

           This article from the New York Times discusses and goes over the importance personal narritive writting for high schoolers that are applying for college.the article is from the point of view of a parent of a high schooler.

          I think that this paper makes some good points, but some of the paragraphs left me a little confused about what the author was trying to say. I enjoyed some of the lovely and descriptive sentences. I thought that this article has a good balance of thought, description, dialouge, and action. My onl problem is, from the article, the impression i got, was that colleges use the personal narrotive to judge character. But what if people lie? I think that letters of recomendation are a much better choice.
