Re: Post Your Essays!
The paper I remember having the most fun writing (but not necessarily the best I've written) was in my senior year of high school. My English teacher asked the class, and I don't remember why, to write a letter to any fictional character we were inspired by, and explain to them why.
I thought it was a stupid assignment and so, as I typically did to stupid assignments my English teacher gave us, I just blew it off and threw something together with as little effort as possible, doing only the minimum required.
So I wrote my letter to "Red Fish" of "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" fame. I don't remember exactly what I wrote, but I made myself chuckle one or two times.
At the end of the year, my teacher told me I had "sarcastic genius," or something to that extent.
