“remember that intuition and imagination can often lead to
great insights” (pg.13). Reading this
topic, many of us can relate to the times when we were being imaginative lead
us to great projects and many successful doings. In “Be Imaginative” a student
athlete takes on a task in which he has interest in. From his interest he studies
about the mass media coverage on the Olympics. The student athlete than figures
that a magazine that has a huge role in promoting the Olympics is Sports
Illustrated. This would lead him to
gather information and write his topic on how Sports Illustrated is a promoter
for the Olympics. As described in the
reading, the student athlete researches older magazine and discovers that over
a period, the magazine cover seems to have a change that questioned his
thinking to create an argument for him to be creative and open minded to do
more research. The students discovery was that “over the decades of its
Olympics coverage, Sports Illustrated had slowly but surely moved from focusing
on teams to depicting only individual stars”. His creative thinking leads him
to write a much more interesting and a more persuasive essay. Writing this essay has allowed the student
athlete to capture the attention of his instructor, fellow students and local
sports magazine. If we be imaginative, it may just end us up in finding out
things we may have never done if we just kept our minds plain and simple.
