Answer/Quote: “Personal
essays are just that: personal. It is your job as a writer to illuminate your
experiences so that readers think about their lives in more meaningful ways. If
you learned a lesson from the event you’re writing about, your readers can
learn from you—the very point of personal essay writing.” p. 13.
