This is a story of a 16 year old boy from New Hampshire who won the World's Shortest Essay competition. He was awarded a Scholarship at the University of Harvard for his incredible imagination and humour ....
Here's how he earned it:
An English university's creative writing class was asked to write a concise essay containing the following elements:
- Religion
- Royalty
- Sex
- Mystery
'My God,' said the Queen, 'I'm pregnant. I wonder who the father is.'
That's a really good essay.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I cant even write that using the 4 elements :)
yeah, I'd have never thot of writing an essay like that even if I sat there for hours thinking what to write ...
ReplyDeletehe forgot the question mark!

Howdy, thanx for the visit but correct me if I'm wrong. I think it was more of a statement than a question.
