So far I got: 1) Being superior to others cuz your not regular dust. 2) Relating to the movie "Stardust" 3) That when you die, you are a star, and what you leave behind, instead of ashes(which is kind of like dust) you leave "stardust" What does your imagination say? edit: changed big S to s.  | ||

There are billions of stars, and star dust is like trillions of small pieces of stars. So if were are stardust then were nothing compared to the universe. | ||

In addition I would say that even though we humans are always differentiating between eachother based on race, culture and beliefs, in the end we're all made of the same materia that came from the stars. | ||

if i give it a lower case s then i'd be interested in the "any atom more massive than hydrogen was created by nuclear fusion in the core of a star or planet" line. i think it's pretty mind boggling. | ||

"we are stardust" is a phrase about unity/harmony/equality. it's really really odd to me to take that phrase and talk about humans being set apart from the stars/planets/universe | ||

"we are stardust" is a phrase about unity/harmony/equality. it's really really odd to me to take that phrase and talk about humans being set apart from the stars/planets/universe "unity/harmony/equality" Hmm i didn't get that. I will try to explain it better. The first thing i thought about, when i read this was the fact that when i stare up at the stars at night, I sort of imagine myself zooming out on myself, like in Google Earth sort of and just keep zooming out and out. It just makes me feel so insignificant. Stardust is way way way smaller then humans and if we are Stardust, then that would mean were even more insignificant. Or you could think of this scientifically, which also explains my way of thinking pretty nicely. If a star were to blow up, and become stardust it would also create a black hole and suck that stardust into it. It has been theoriesed, that Black Holes are a portal to another universe, and if so that would mean if you are stardust, then you are completely seperate from the known universe. So i don't think it means Unity/Harmony/Equailty. | ||

Seeing as how this is my first AP English class, ya'll have better ideas than me. Somehow, ya'll make me feel like stardust.

This sounds more like an SATish essay, or maybe just a starter essay to kick off the year. This is just like a prep essay, somewhat laid back, no wrong answer. Darn AP exam is gonna kill me, and don't get me started with the SAT, I take like 5 hours to write a 2 page essay, no way i'm gonna get write something thats crazy deep in 25 minutes. According to this article, many colleges ignore SAT writing scores. http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/09/20/many_colleges_ignore_sat_writing_test/ | ||
