I have always done very well with writing essays, especially narratives. As long as I can organize the subject of my thoughts into different paragraphs, I can write a fairly good essay. Using creative writing to write essays, I think, is actually quite fun.
I really enjoyed the essay Lenses. Although the author talked mostly about binoculars and microscopes, the essay made me think of glasses; how some people have rose colored lenses while others have black lenses and how your lenses on how you view the world can change on a minute to minute basis.
The author talks in great detail about the microscope and how she liked to look at pond water. She mentions how the little bulb would heat the surface she put the slide on, and how the pond water would dry up and the little organisms would swim in what was left of the pond water. For some reason she enjoyed this part, which seems a little dark to me. That would be like a giant setting the corners of her house on fire and watching as she and her family scrambled towards the middle of their home to escape the flames and stay alive.
