Choose a novel, short-story, film, play, or poem, that greatly influenced your life. Clearly state how and why the piece you have chosen to write about influenced your life in the opening paragraph, preferably in a single sentence. In subsequent body paragraphs (probably 3-5 body paragraphs) discuss different elements of the piece you chose, and explain how they may have helped you connect to the piece. In a concise conclusion, explain why the piece remains important to you.
