Those moving on, a hearty congratulations to you. You guys are brilliant and deserve everything great!

Now, it is the time to move onwards, onto Round II.




Round II is a test of merging ideas. I am going to give you story of a person, and you must use that story and describe it through poetic form using creativity, originality, imagery and most of all -- metaphors.


Aya Uchida

A person is faced with two different challenges. He is a religious man, but immigrated to some place where his religion was trashed. He wants to fit in desperately with other people, but how will he do so. Will he put his trust in society? Or in faith?

~


The Baron VVV

A prostitute reflects on how she was forced to use her diginity, and to sell her modesty in order to live. What does she think of the society, the men and the women all around and how is she going to spend her future?

~

Delfishie

A student that wanted a to be doctor, but couldn't pass the medical examinations. Now she's forced to withdraw from her dreams and live her life as an ordinary teacher. But she's restless! What's going on in her mind? How is she to deal with stress, broken dreams and this uncaring world?

~


The Celtic Bard

A general that faces two options: help wage a war on Iraq or resign with the label of traitor.

~


Black Dragon14

The world through the eyes of small girl. Her father is a crook, her mother is a run-away slave and she is caught between this tug-of-war for life itself!

~

KiNNky Angel

A baby sees the world for the first time. What does he think, what does he sense? Truth and love and honesty, or the faint trace of hatred, cold and snide people.

~

elflower1989

A child dies - but does not know so. He is on earth as a ghost. He stays with his family, shaking their hands and clothes to get some attention, but to no avail. What does he think?
