By: Jamie Gough Eligible writers are students in elementary schools, middle schools and high schools within the United States. Students can choose from one of two essay questions: 1) In Dr. Mullen's Principal Park book, Fuji's father says to his son right before the big game, "Chance is sometimes all we're given in life." What do you believe Fuji's father is implying by this statement? In the body of your essay, describe what you hope will be your chance of a lifetime and what are you going to do to prepare yourself for this special moment? 2) In Cynthia Gustavson's 'Ballad of the Rag Man,' the Rag Man is different than everyone else around the town. The little girl suspects the worst, and at the end of the book, is surprised by the Rag Man's kindness. In the body of your essay, describe a person or a group of people that might be "different" in your community, and how you have come to know them. There are several criteria for the writing contest. Essays must: 1) be no more than two typed pages; 2) be original, emotionally- Language teachers at Elk Horn-Kimballton school will review the essays and determine the top ten finalists. Additionally, Dr. Paul Mullen and Cynthia Gustavson will review the ten finalists' essays and rank them accordingly.
