What other facts, evidence, or quotes might help to make my point clearer and easier to understand? Your thoughts will help me to continue “unraveling the perplexity” surrounding creativity.

For example, in the first sentence, I ask “Are humans born with a creativity gene?” to show that there are scientific explanations to creativity. By quoting student remarks, such as “I can't draw,” I want to emphasize that people are socialized to believe they are not creative and that there are factors beyond genes at play. Finally, I strive to give readers the message that creativity is an ability that we can develop if we focus on it, rather than something we’re born with or not. Two key quotes in this passage are “Some people believe creative humans are just born that way and that genes and chromosomes are the determinants of creativity" and "I strive to give readers the message that creativity is an ability that we can develop if we focus on it, rather than something we’re born with or not.” The first quote introduces the idea that genes and chromosomes are not the only explanations for creativity, and the second quote suggests that we can improve our creativity with hard work, dedication, and focus. I hope these quotes show readers that creativity is something we can learn and develop. Overall, I wanted this passage to provide readers of all ages with encouragement and evidence that they possess the ability to be creative and that they can grow creative skills. I also want to push people to embrace creativity and to explore different forms of expression. How do you think this passage impacted your understanding of creativity? Sat, 08 Jul 2023 14:55:18 -0400
