Essay #1 
Too many English majors doubt their college major choice, and too many would-be English majors are choosing other majors because "you can't make any money with an English degree," "there aren't any jobs," "I don't want to teach," etc. The misconceptions and negative stereotypes that surround the degree itself and what an English degree can do for your future go on and on, but they can be changed! Do you agree?

In your experience, what is the most common misconception or stereotype about English majors? How do you defend English majors? What are some of the excellent reasons to ignore the pressure from parents and employers and go for the humanities? In an essay, a) discuss both the misconceptions and value of an English major/education in the humanities, b) choose your stance, c) state your argument with examples, then d) conclude.
Essay #2 
''Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage,music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we grect visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things," Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told LiveScience.

The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture. 'It shares its etymology with a number of other words related to actively fostering growth," De Rossi said.

What is your understanding/definition of "culture"? In an essay, explicate some key characteristics of culture with examples from a literary work, a song, a piece of art, or a social movement/event.
