you will write a personal narrative about an experience you have had with another culture that involved personal conflict that changed you.

Four types of personal conflict you might consider are:

• Human vs. Human
• Human vs. Nature
• Human vs. Society
• Human vs. Self

Change is an essential aspect of the prompt. You can choose a positive or negative experience, but make sure this event, or series of events, is meaningful and relevant to you. Did it change your worldview? Did it make you re-evaluate your opinions of a certain group or groups of people?

You should also make sure your narrative has sufficient conflict that was brought about by a clash with culture. While this could be a conflict within yourself, it is often easier to depict a conflict with another person or group of people.

Your essay should be as long as it takes to suitably tell your story - however, your essay must be at least 850 words.  Also, just because you reach 850 words does not mean your story is over - use the content of a narrative and the structure of an essay.

Your grade will be based on the ideas mentioned above:

• Vivid, expressive language usage
• Change in your personal beliefs
• Conflict between cultures
