FINAL ROUND!!
Welcome to the final round! Top 4 congrats. This is your last assignment ever, for So_you_think_you_can. Also we may have a changeup in prizes, nothing bad but not exactly sure yet. You will learn more about that when the results come out. Alright so let’s get down to the assignments, the topic(s) for this week is Songs, Biographies and much more. It will be a whole bunch of little assignments with one big one at the end.
NOTE FROM NICOLE:
Haha this will be a surprise to everyone, including Sam. Good Luck, you all have it, you just have to prove it and show it. Take the advice we gave you last week and use it. If you need any help or don’t understand don’t be afraid to ask either of us.
Part one&&two:
Pick a song from the list. Listen to the song, feel the song, learn the song, and become the song. Then write about it, how you feel, but not the obvious. 1 page or less.
Pick another song. Listen to it, learn the lyrics and understand why the author wrote it. Then explain it to us. 1 page or less.
List:
We can’t stop- Miley Cyrus What Hurt’s The Most- Rascal Flatts
Wasting All These Tears- Cassadee Pope Wide Awake- Katy Perry
Wanted- Hunter Hayes Hero- Mariah Carey
Just Give Me A Reason-Pink Alyssa Lies- Jason Michael Carroll
Whatever She’s Got- David Nail I Belong To Me- Jessica Simpson
The Climb- Miley Cyrus Turning Tables- Adele
Part 3:
Say you write in a newspaper and you’re column is something about your opinions, no characters no plot nothing but your opinion. Well guess what that’s kind of what you will do for this assignment. You will be given each a topic, you don’t get to pick this one. We are looking for a good point, why you feel this way, thinking outside of the box, anything you find necessary include it just don’t go off topic.
Reading_Noodles62: How do you think the school system should be?
Zazenpoet: Do some of the famous people waste their money?
Snowghostbill: Does karma really exist, or is it made up?
Sketchesofpain3: Has technology changed society for the better or worse?
(All of these questions are from what I have seen in the US. You can base it from wherever though)
This sounds easy, trust me it’s not. If you don’t word it just right it will come out boring, dull or worse. You have to keep it entertaining. This one has to have a title and 2/15 will be taken off if there isn’t a title. Page limit is 3 pages.
Part 4:
Quotes! We see them everywhere. There used in writing all the time. They come from everywhere and everybody. There will be four quotes and you need to pick one. From there you will elaborate on it. Take it from a sentence to a story. This assignment seems so small but with the right wording and detail this could help you tremendously. Your page limit is at least 2 pages.
Quote one:
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quote two:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Quote three:
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quote four:
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde
The big assignment:
Biographies.
This one is a free one. Write about anyone ( we prefer famous, so we can check to see if it’s true). Key thing. I hate reading biographies so pick wise and make it entertaining so I don’t throw something, hehe. Page limit is 4 pages or less.

Last words from the judges:
OMGG. I just finished writing the last assignment. I can't believe it's almost over. Just think a couple of months ago you were just writers on wattpad, auditioning for the new competition. Wondering if you had it to make it to the next round and now you are the top 4. I want to thank you all for sticking through the crazy things that we went through. Each one of you had an impact on us and taught us new things, we hope you had fun and we also hope you learned a lot. Whatever you place just know you are an amazing writer and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. I have seen you all change your writing in some way, it amazes me, I know you will all go far. Don’t ever stop writing because once you do you fail. I can’t wait to work with some of you, you will make a great judge, and you all have something new to bring to the table. I guess I should end this with saying my favorite three words to you for the final time, Good Luck All!
