Think of a plant that symbolizes your spirit. Write a paragraph which develops that plant as a symbol. Don’t compare the plant to anything (Don’t say, for example, “I am like a willows, flexible, graceful, and strong.”). Instead, talk about the plant in such a way that the reader understands you are also talking about your spirit. (Of course, it’s hard!) Use Smith’s paragraph as a model.
