you have to write about change in the context of your study for the creative writing part also, ie. changing self, changing worlds, changing perspectives. Not JUST change

yeah, but dont forget you cant plan it, so you have to sit there and think about what you're going to write, you cant just memorise something and spew it out like you can with an essay...altho, i admit, 400 words in 40 minutes is nothing considering most people write around 1000 words in 40 minutes for their essays..

whatever you wanted... they gave you one sentence that you had to finish off..no choice, they gave one and you had to use it to commence the piece.. i guess they expected a story style thing or a train of thought or something along those lines....but it had to be about and event/place that has changed or something liek that
