Assignment #6- Liz Graves

Prompt 1: If you could do one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? It could be a job, hobby, anything really.

Prompt 2: For hundreds of years people have been thinking of creative ways to scare themselves. Haunted houses, horror movies, theme parks, outlandish games of truth-or-dare are all timeless examples of people trying to bring a little adventure into their lives. Why do you think some people like to be scared? Do you like to be scared? Why or why not?

Prompt 3: What was your favorite show growing up? Why? Do you think it influenced who you are today? Why or why not?

Prompt 1- My Answer: If I could choose to do one thing for the rest of my life, I would travel to conventions all over the world. Any kind of convention. Art conventions, car conventions, baseball conventions, book conventions, movie conventions. I would go around, meet new people, and ask them questions. I think you can learn the most listening to people that are passionate about what they're talking about. Have you ever watched someone when they're talking about something they love? Their face lights up, they wave their arms around, they smile. If you pay attention to any romantic comedy, the protagonist is always talking about something they love when the love interest "realizes" in an epiphany how much they've always loved him/her. To some degree I think that's realistic--not the falling in love all of the sudden part, but the fact that it's captivating to watch someone talk with such eagerness about something they believe in. Their excitement is contagious, and if they're good story-tellers, you feel like you're a part of what they're saying. If I spent the rest of my life listening to random strangers talk at random conventions I would certainly never be bored, and I'd always have something new to talk about. Truthfully, I don't think I could just pick one thing to do for the rest of my life, but if I really had to choose just one thing, this is the closest I can get to doing everything.
