Re-Purposing Assignment

Our second assignment for the class was referred to as a “re-purposing” assignment.  Why re-purposing?  Well, we were supposed to take an old piece of writing (from one of our other college classes) and change it to address a different audience.

For this assignment, I chose to take a very personal essay from my English 125 (IE, intro college writing) class and turn it into something that addresses tough decisions and death in general.  The original source (which felt too personal to be just a sub-tab) was a personal narrative that told the story of my sister passing away.  The re-purposed version shifts the focus from strictly personal to broad-spectrum with only the occasional personal anecdotes.
