The old adage "If it looks good it must fly good" was surely coined by a 757 pilot. There is no better looking airplane than a 757. As a teenager 20 years ago, I spent my allowance in parking at CVG to go look at all the DAL 757s. I can honestly say I've fulfilled a childhood dream flying it for Delta. As has been written, there is no finer plane than a 757. I've flown a couple of different models of the 737 and while the world's best selling airplane, it is no where near the worlds best commercial airplane. That honor rests with the 757 aka the Shredder.
The Pratts take about 55-65 seconds to start and stabilize at idle. It flies better than any plane I've ever flown and does exactly what you want it to. Just look at the lines on it and you will have enough inspiration for your paper. I could write pages on how good it is.
