I had the same topics as you and answered in the same way. with the first question I talked about set design and then characterisation based on the dialogue and experience performing. Unfortunately I got most of the way through my essay and realised I had only made one reference to personal...
I was lucky enough to have done Kyi as my "might cover this if the question allows" third speech so it wasn't so bad but I can understand the hate if you hadn't prepared for it.
I'll be completely honest, it was incredibly complex for a short story. But as a narrative it worked. The main issue is whether you were able to fit it to the question though, because the remembered place should have been a central focus and not merely a passing reference as it appears it may...

this question displeased me greatly. I had to reconfigure a majority of my story to be about a place rather than about the coexistence of societies values against one's own and all this other cool stuff. rage.
I have heard a lot of complaints about that question from my classmates and apparently there was a local media story about it (though that is unconfirmed at this point). In all truth though I didn't think it was as difficult as everyone made it out to be.
The question was essentially asking for...
