Undergraduate Essays:

"When I read undergraduate essays, what I see very frequently is, especially the first essay is just nothing but cliches, it's awful, it's dull, you can hardly stand reading it, because there is  nothing in it that is gripping or alive. And then maybe the second essay you can see there is a layer of cliche and now and then the person will be brave enough to poke up a thought of their own. ... it's like this little green shoot that is barely alive and the person is brave enough to pop it up in the hope that maybe it won't get ... down with a sledge hammer. One of the things I try to do is to point that out. Look ... there is a real thought here. ..."
