Prompts needed!!

One of you brilliant members (i forgot who and am too lazy to check) asked if they could submit essay prompts for me to defile. What and AWESOME idea. So if you have any essay prompts laying around or feel like trying to make one up(The more obscure the better since I will be forced to make more stuff up) please submit them in the comments. I'll try and destroy all of them in due time or at least until I really offend someone and they make me stop.

Sorry.

Essay Q: Other than to bore the shit out of you, explain, in detail using the plot line(s), how reading this classic of Western literature is redeeming and applicable to your daily life.

Better?

My favorite assingment from last year:

If you were a wealthy land-owner in the South would you support slavery? Would you own slaves?

Also from this year- Should there be such a thing as prisons?

God, I love college

1. How did the book Star Girl change your life?

2. If you could make up a person to hang out with or be friends with forever, what would be the physical and mental characteristics of this person? Their good traits and bad traits?

3. Besides the standard methods of execution, describe in detail your preferred type of execution (make one up), the reasons why you like it, and why it’s better than the rest.

4. Write a story about the most absolutely perfect day but with a tragic ending.

Never forget Philo T. Farnsworth

Oh, here we go, an old classic (I made the prompt up):

Q: Summarize your feelings toward Atticus Finch’s character in To Kill A Mockingbird. Is he really trying to do well with the world, or is he simply another sleazeball lawyer that jumps at any opportunity to make himself look good, all the while trying to pocket more cash?

From my intro to philosophy final

Whose theory (Plato/Socrates, Aristotle, Empiricus, and Hume) of happiness do you like the best?

"Statistics mean nothing to the individual"
"You are what you eat and you clearly went out and devoured a big fat guy"

Q. Please describe in detail the moral and intellectual deficiencies of John Galt in the book Atlas Shrugged. Include in your essay your assessment of the corrupting influence of Dagny Taggart.

Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

Choose one of the following:

A. Please describe in detail your preference of whether to read any of the bullshit written by Ayn Rand or stabbing your eyeballs out with an ice pick?

B. If you have read anything by Ayn Rand, please describe the benefit of afterward stabbing your eyeballs out with an ice pick and whether you are disappointed that it didn’t stab deep enough to cause a brain hemorrage and kill you, thus removing that horrible Libertarian bullshit garbage from your head.

I feel unclean. It's a shame so deep it can only be erased by the ravages of time and the constant abuse of hard liquor. I rooted on the Red Wings and I am now less of a man for it.

Explain in your own words if Prison or the Ludovigo(sp?) treatment in A Clockwork Orange is better for the individual. Site examples from the text.

Barret Jackman is my hero.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
