<p>Hey guys.
I just have problem coming up with good body paragraph examples for SAT essay.
I dont know what example to choose and write about.
Could you guys pls give me a list of examples that work well in many topics?
PLS????
THANKS</p>
<p>How about [url=<a href="http://economist.com%5DEconomist.com%5B/url">http://economist.com]Economist.com[/url</a>] articles? I think they'll help you sound sophisticated.</p>
<p>lol. i acutally want a concrete details like Eistein, Edison, some kind of events, etc
Any ideas?</p>
<p>Study in major depth and detail some part of history, and one good book. That should be sufficient, I think (because you can make up/invent other examples, use personal experience). You can draw all sorts of examples from these, even if you need to stretch it a bit.</p>
<p>For example, I usually use US History and The Count of Monte Cristo</p>

<p>Avoid refering to scientists. Like lolcats4 said, use a good book instead. According to Rocket Review, the essay graders are too stupid for science and get irritated when they see it. So, use history or literature examples. :)
And if you have to use science, don't get too technical about it.</p>
<p>I use Lord of the Flies by William Golding and The Scarlet Letter alot, it gets me essays 10+. I also like to use Pearl Harbor and the Alamo.</p>
<p>^ He's right. Lord of the Flies is awesome. I use it almost everytime, too.</p>
<p>I don't see how referring to figures in history, for example famous scientists like Edison, should be avoided. It's a perfectly good example to use.</p>
<p>Hmmm... so it's OK to make references from Dickens? How can you be sure the readers will comprehend whatever you're writing unless they've already read the book?</p>
<p>I'm not being sarcastic; this is an honest question.</p>
<p>The thing is that the essay graders are trained to be impressed by arguments, not content (a BIG mistake I made on my first SAT). The SAT essay is nothing like writing a research paper, where the quality of your examples really matters. Even if your readers aren't familiar with your example you can get a high score if it sounds like you are making a strong argument.</p>
<p>Besides, since most SAT graders are English teachers, I think they'd have some familiarity with Dickens lol</p>
<p>omg. hahaha. thank you guys for good advice! I really really appreciate it! :)</p>
