English/writing question

Question

Hello,

For an assignment, I am asked to choose a word from the dictionary and explain how it represents me. I choose the word "brain;" however, I am not sure what connection could I use to represent myself and the word "brain." Would you be able to provide me with some examples of how one could embody the word "brain?"

Thanks!

Answer 1

Dear Samantha,

I think it's important to ask yourself why you chose the word "brain." The answer should provide the connection you are looking for. If, on the other hand, you are drawing a blank, I think it would be best to choose another word.

Best of luck with your assignment,

PJ

Answer 2

I would suggest that if you don't have any ideas on how to use this word, you reflect some more on a word that does represent you in a way that is immediately clear to you. Who are you as a person? What is your personality like? What is important to you? Some words should surface when you do this self-reflection, and then the answer will be obvious.

The old adage of "write what you know" is a good one!

Answer 3

Hey there! Hopefully your brain juices are starting to flow a bit, ha! One idea I have is to think about all the concepts of the brain you know and see how you might relate to them! For instance, the brain is separated into three different sections which have distinct purposes. If you feel that you, as a person, have three goals or three personality traits you think (white) matter most, you can definitely play into that realm a bit! Or, since the brain is all about connections, it might be fun to play around with the connections in your own life. Obviously, don't take these as your only two options, especially since these ideas are just a tad uninspired, but please use these to jumpstart your thinking if you find them helpful!

Hopefully this helps (and the brain puns weren't too bad)! :D
