a narrative essay, similar to those readings. As part of this narrative, discuss personal history as it relates to the prompt while also trying to connect experiences to at least of readings from the Your Mind Textslist, at least one of which must be from the "Reading Options" list. This means it needs to incorporate quotes/paraphrase from at least two sources in analysis of mind.

Be mindful that analysis should strive to highlight more than just narrative similarities. For example, maybe we aren't on the Autism spectrum, but that doesn't mean we can relate to Naoki Higashida's frustrations over his inability to communicate effectively and effeciently. And, more to the point, that doesn't mean we can apply the lesson from Higashida's experience to our own. So, when composing this essay, think about how it might apply the lessons, or morals, from the articles reading to its own experiences.
