What do you think is the objective(s) for college essays?

I think college essays exist to give the college you are applying to, something to single you out from the rest. They want to know what makes you so special and so unique that you should be accepted to their school out of the many applicants.

Anti-(Vietnam)War Speech (Martin Luther King)

-He speaks about how he is against the war and points out the Vietnam War as one of the wars he is against.

-It is found wrong to have an opinion against your country especially during a time of war.

-Many find the will to tell the truth about what they think of their country, an inner battle.

-"Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war."

-We (Americans) are in desperate need of guidance that will lead them to a righteous path.

-"Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movement well and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us."
