"Meeting Maung-Maung"

I believe the theme of Iyers Essay is to really enjoy your trip and keep an open mind. I believe that if you go in with doubts or notions that your trip isnt the best or that it will turn out bad you will have a hard time seeing all the good things that happen on your trip. I feel you can be blinded in life by fearing the worst and that can make you miss out on things in life that could have been amazing.

Final essay proposal

I think I am going to elaborate on the essay I wrote about my family going to Glacier National Park. The characters will be my mom, step dad, sisters and then a couple we met at one of our campsites that let us use their telescopes. Its going to be about all the troubles we had through out the trip, like the RV breaking, my sister and I getting sick and a thunderstorm that ruined our hike. I will add dialogue between my sisters and I, as well as the couple at our campsite.

The spicy spell of my grandmother’s favorite candle filled the air, along with the laughter of my family. We would all come together for Christmas, all my aunts and uncles and cousins. We would pile into the...

Final Essay Proposal

For my final travel essay I would like to continue writing about the trip I took to New York City (it was mentioned in my bad trip essay). I want to share the good parts of the trip, the experiences I had and the places I saw. I loved that trip and loved New York and I would like to further explain that in my essay. Characters in the essay would include myself, my mom, and a few of my friends that came on the trip. We all bonded together over the trip and we still have inside jokes from it to this day. The theme would be about doing things that are unexpected and ending up loving it. The best parts of that trip weren't at the big tourist destinations that we visited, it was the small places that we found and the memories we made there.
