Click here for not-for-college essay examples.
The first two were written by AP EngLit students. The first of those two includes strong narration and reflection. (It was written in response to April Monroe's non-fiction narrative "The Potato Harvest".) The second one is short but delightful, effectively illustrating the not-for-college part of the assignment. It's about skipping school.
The next three come from an e-magazine called Brevity: A Journal of Concise Literary Nonfiction.
The final example is quite a bit longer. It's a personal narrative essay by David Gessner called "The Dreamer Did Not Exist". It's pretty darned great.
