My mad dream of an essay

Remember that time you ate that spicy [taco] just before you went to bed on the night before the big [essay test]?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the [important] details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a [buffet] waiting to be sent to [get locked up].  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect [Donald Trump ], looking like a crazy [dog] who could eat a whole [chicken].   

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "[ To be great is to be misunderstood ]."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to [give a speech].  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy [suit] and [ability microphone ] and then you had make a [time machine] to go back in time to the [park] so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the [racism going on].

But right there in the [park] there was a giant [man] and it started [yell] ing at everyone.  People started to [fight back].  You grabbed a [stick] from a nearby [the tree] and yelled [stop and listen].  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
