Totally within the parameters of the assignment. When I've used this assignment in writing workshops, the responses are usually about life-changing, identity-defining actions; however (mk, note semi-colon!), the knowing-what-I-had-to-do events that most quickly come to mind for me are more of the dog-bait variety. When it comes to life-changing actions, I usually know what I have to do long, long before I actually do it. I feel like Brutus before murdering Caesar where he said:
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
(Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 1, 65-67)
Thx, tng, for giving the snowball a push.
