3 possible essays (I'll give all 3 as an option) -- remember, when you write your essay, err on the site of presenting more information than you think you might need -- show me that you know what you are talking about, not just simply answering the basic premise of the question. This could come down to giving examples, defining terms, or giving historical context.
