    I don't have a sample one but I can provide you with a few tips if you like?
    I am pretty adept at poetry, especially personal response.

    The golden rules of personal response essays are

    1. Read the question over and over again before and during your planning and actual writing to ensure you are answering the question asked.
    2. Use I statements as often as possible, without boring the examiner.
    3. The use of feelings and indirect emotions such as "horrifying" "horrified" etc can help to fill space :D (but stick to the point!)

    I hope this helps some what.

    Oh, and for it to be a good personal response you have to be highly opinionated. For example I despise Mahon, I think he is egoistic and self-pitying. I have done out essays about him and got A's and B's merely because they are very opinionated. :pac:
