<p>Are photographs straightforward representations of real life, or are they artistic creations reflecting the photographer's point of view?</p>
<p>I don't know how to answer that tough question
Could you help me please? :)</p>
<p>Yeah that one was a toughie. Anyone get this essay and get a good score? My mind went completely blank when I got this topic and I panicked bc I’m not an arts person at ALL.</p>
<p>Me either. It looks very difficult to handle. Thank God I didn’t take the March SAT but I will take it on June</p>
<p>When the ETS throws a curveball at you like this – take a deep breath, sit back for a minute, and think. On this essay prompt, you simply have to think about photos you have seen that have had an impact on you, then embellish! For this prompt, the Japanese earthquake had just taken place. Pick the side that they are a reflection of real life, and talk about “how intense, horrifying, and mind-blowing the photos of the Japanese earthquake that appeared in this week’s paper are…” Then explain how this realistic portrayal of real-life has had a global impact, etc. etc. For another example, pick photos of Hurricane Katrina, or perhaps of 9/11? If you take a minute to think about it, you’ll always come up with appropriate examples. Just be sure to think of them BEFORE you begin to write.</p>
<p>tutormonster is correct. the sat is designed to make you panic. the instruction is to plan and write an essay…</p>
<p>so take a minute out of the 25 you have to plan your essay…this has nothing to do with being artistic, this has to do with YOUR OPINION…same as always.</p>
