<p>@lilliann, my teacher thought us the same, “Everything’s an argument” . She was the BEST Euro teacher I could have ever had for that class. If I didn’t get a 5, it was all me XP</p>
<p>you did restate the prompt, though. </p>
<p>prompt: analyze various arguments that emerged over the course of the nineteenth century about how to improve the lives of european workers</p>
<p>your thesis: Revolting/revolution, balance/equality, and strong governments were the various arguments that were discussed during 19th c. that would help improve european workers’ lives.</p>
<p>you expanded the prompt’s “various arguments” and essentially said the same thing. a thesis IS “a statement that answers the prompt”, but you answered the prompt as if it said “what were the various arguments discussed?” rather than “analyze the various arguments discussed.”</p>
<p>i’m sure it’s not that big of a deal yo</p>
<p>Holy crap! Ahhh I’m so screwed… Is it that big of a deal? </p>
<p>Can you tell me your thesis?</p>
<p>it’s also good to use a quote in your thesis to elevate your thesis Smartly</p>
<p>omg i shouldn’t have said anything. don’t worry! at least you have <em>a</em> thesis; most people won’t have one at all. if your essay is good, it’s fine. my thesis was something to the tune of “contentious discussions over europeans’ quality of working life in the 19th century precipitated marxian ideals which manifested in bourgeoise revolutions in the 20th century”</p>
<p>I don’t understand your sarcasm @ misterMIT </p>
<p>& WOAH -____- what are you? A college student? That thesis was so good 
</p>
<p>So you think that thesis is acceptable? Or no? Cause I looked at ap central & their examples of a 9 had a thesis like yours…</p>
<p>what? i used no sarcasm? all i said was that quoting a document in your thesis elevates your thesis. that’s all. no sarcasm.</p>
<p>and i don’t think i would have described the revolution in the 20th century as being “bourgeois” revolutions</p>
<p>Oh sorry XD </p>
<p>I always think people are against me…hahaha </p>
<p>But that IS a thesis because I stated the arguments that were stated during 19th cen. tht would help their lives? I’m so lost with the whole theise now…</p>
<p>i meant to say proletariat revolution 
oh well, at least i wrote the right thing on my essay haha</p>
<p>^^ it’s okay. You will probably won’t get a 9 on your DBQ but you still have HIGH hopes for a 5 on the exam overall :D</p>
<p>a 9 still allows a minor mistake though
i said something along the lines of " The movement of Chartism in the 1800’s initially emerged as genuine approach to better the conditions of industrial workers, but ultimately gave rise to the radical notion of socialist ideology and principles, and inadvertently led to a call for a “necessary” proletariat revolution(Marx)</p>
<p>did anyone do #2 FRQ?
Analyze various ways in which technological developments contributed to the expansion of state power in the period 1450 to 1600.</p>
<p>thesis? facts? what did you guys use?</p>
<p>i didn’t make a minor mistake in my thesis but whatever</p>
<p>Wait! You guys haven’t told me anything about my thesis? Is it an acceptable thesis?</p>
<p>@ misterMIT I looked at that one and was about to write it… But I couldn’t pass up French Rev. & napoleon. </p>
<p>But If I was I’d write about gunpowder & printing press :)</p>
<p>awesome that’s exactly what i used. i sued gunpowder, embedded siege cannons in naval armies, and the printing press XD
the french rev would have been my second option, but i felt like that would be the most targeted nationally, meaning there would be kids who would have written amazing essays( too amazing), and the curve for a 7-9 would have been harder to reach.</p>
<p>oh, and on your thesis, i would have judged the overall paper a 5-6 something like that. but idk! don’t take my word! i only read your thesis, not your entire essay</p>
<p>GREAT! I aim pretty low lol. But the thesis is ACCEPTABLE, right? XD sorry im so annoying, I know >.<</p>
<p>Also… How many paragraphs did you guys have for you DBQ & FRQ? </p>
<p>My DBQ was about 6/7 paragraphs </p>
<p>And my FRQ’s were 4 paragraphs >.< (like I said… I aim low)</p>
