First Time Didn't Work

My three prompts are:

1) Do you believe that arts (art, music, drama) should be incorporated into school?

2) Do you think people should have hobbies? Why or why not? What kind of hobbies do you have?

3) If you could travel back to any time period in history, what would it be?

I choose to write about Prompt #1.

All of us, at one point in our life, has most likely played an instrument, taken an art class, or acted in a play; and, chances are, they have had a profoundly good impact on our lives. But more and more school systems are taking the arts out of their curriculum, so the big question in all of this is: "Should the arts remain in schools?".

I, personally, think that arts are a vital part of the school system. Just think about it: who wants to be completely academic? If one were to be completely academic, consider how boring they would be. For an example, imagine a cake. And imagine that this cake is very, very delicious, but lacks one important thing: icing. A cake without icing still tastes good, but what sets it apart? What makes it taste better than other cakes?

This "icing" in our lives is the arts. Without the arts, we too would be a dry, boring, tasteless cake, without any distinction from the others. But with the arts, that gives us a distinguishing mark. And, hopefully, they will continue to do that for a long time.
