“The Birth-Mark” explores themes of perfection/imperfection, obsession, and acceptance of (or the failure to to accept) the inherent flaws of humanity. Write a paper that examines contemporary society’s obsession with perfection and the consequences of striving for an unattainable ideal. Discuss an experience when you noticed someone who became fixated on eradicating a perceived physical or psychological flaw. What was the outcome? Explain the moral and ethical dilemmas of pursuing an idea of perfection at any cost
Your response should (A) Answer the question(s) in ONE prompt completely; (C) Cite evidence that fulfills the requirements of the prompt (your experience should work for most of these); and (E) Explain your use of examples and your reasoning.
Be sure to conclude your response by answering “So what?” Even creative writing projects need conclusions!
Your paper should follow MLA formatting and style conventions (current edition).
This part of your project should total at least 500 words.
Next, write a reflection in which you explore the choices you made in your creative response paper. Explain your thinking process and discuss how the creative choices you made compare to the choices made in the original primary text mentioned in the question. Be sure to use pertinent details and quotes to support your exploration of how your creative response paper reflects or differs from the primary text. This part of your project should total at least 300 words.
