Second Year Hon. Mention: The Mission Before the Escape

WRIT 2710, Grammar & Proofreading. CD: Dunja Baus. TA: Frances Maranger.

Abstract

“The Mission Before the Escape” recounts an arduous and marginalized life in a labyrinth of cruelty and prejudice. On the verge of escape, the author is tempted to celebrate the growth experienced in meeting the challenges of the labyrinth but warns that feelings of imminent success can well be the source of a complacency that would undermine any chance of becoming an active agent against the world’s treachery. All of this and more in a single 200-word sentence composed to meet a multitude of grammatical and lexical constraints.
