Anyone notice the second person in the third stimulus for creative writing? I heard they were looking for something creative like that?

Yeah what do you mean!? Don't all three sections count!?
They are trolling... all three sections count, hence why it's out of 45, with modules out of 60 for a total out of 105

I found it okay but my creative writing was terrible. Short answers were good but I wasted too much time. For the essay I pretty much only focused on how the attitudes of others influenced individuals, I don't know if that was wrong :(
They asked for you to suggest the extent to which your texts agreed with the question ("How accurately does this statement reflect the ideas presented...") Your response should be fine as long as you said that your texts didn't reflect the choice part of the question significantly.

That's right, the attitudes of others can influence one's connective state. This fit well with skrzynecki (feliks/ancestors) although for ancestors, I said that it moderately reflected the premise (the question we had to answer was about reflecting how accurate that statement was), but for ancestors, the persona did have a desire/choice to belong, but was hindered by his cultural uncertainty (which is of course because of the generational barrier), so although there's not another person directly mentioned in the text that influenced that attitude, It's his familial bond (or lack thereof) that's greatly inferred (hence the moderate authentication of the question).
