How important is it to “answer the question”? You
can begin specifically by considering this issue in the context of college
essay prompts and the essays you are writing (or will write) in response to
them. But your answer may lead you to other contexts and bigger questions. What
is valuable about meeting people’s expectations, and to what extent do we want
to surprise and/or challenge those who measure our worth, or to exceed their
expectations (even, perhaps, when we run the risk of being penalized in some
way for “not answering the question”)?
