<p>The AP English Language and Composition Test is tomorrow. I am pretty okay on the synthesis and rhetorical essay but have trouble thinking of examples for the persuasive essay. Usually, you can use the few prominent examples for almost everything.</p>
<p>I know..
MLK
Gandhi
Rosa Parks
1984
........... yeah...........</p>
<p>so I was wondering what other great examples there are that can be used for the persuasive essay. Thanks.</p>
<p>use books/ history</p>
<p>All the King's Men
Catch 22
The Great Gatsby
Walden</p>
<p>I am using Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card for whatever they throw at me (and Gandhi which was already mentioned)</p>
<p>I always use analogies and metaphors and elaborate on those, then use hypothetical situations; I almost always get 8's on my argumentatives.</p>
<p>I hear the graders dislike extended metaphors because there isn't enough time to make them persuasive enough, water-tight enough.
I usually stick to more prosaic arguments... but that's me.</p>
<p>i am taking the exam and i dont really have preset things i just use whatever comes to me at the time... but i have to say Enders Game... great book :)</p>
<p>The Count of Monte Cristo!!!!!!</p>
<p>I think this is the only ap test i'm not dead worried about studying.
i either know it or i don't, no point studying...
...are any of you studying besides going over the rhetorical strategies?</p>
<p>I TOOK the exam..</p>
<p>my fingers were about to break on my third essay. good luck with timing cause you have less time than you think you do. by the way.. i didnt use any of those examples i listed above. :/</p>
<p>good luck. : )</p>
<p>exam was surprisingly good..i did form b
MC was a bit dodgy as usual, not too worried about it though...essays were DELICIOUS, i flew right through them!</p>
<p>It was easy... the essays were not hard :cool:</p>
<p>okay, probably the worst testing experience ever. </p>
<p>As I start my test, in a room filled with almost 70 people, someone throws up all over their test, and makes a loud echoing noise. It was super gross, and their was a massive uproar, and in turn i lost my concentration. Everyone was laughing making jokes, including the proctor, it smelled bad as well. 10 minutes later a janitor comes in while we are taking the test to clean up the mess. Only he is super loud as he keeps throwing water on the ground. </p>
<p>So yea, i dont think i did everywhere, lost all my concentration from the beginning</p>
<p>Fountainhead works for many as well.</p>
