DIRECTIONS: Choose any type of media (a novel, play, short story, poem, song, movie, tv series, video game, social media account, or other) that you have recently consumed and found interesting.

In a single paragraph (500 words or less), please discuss how and why the work you selected captured your attention and what it was about the author’s/director's/artist's message that drew your attention.

While you may have to recount details from the work to explain why you liked it, please avoid merely retelling the plot or summary. Instead, take a position on how and why the work was appealing.
