<p>Martin Luther King Jr.
Abraham Lincoln

Ghandi

<p>Post some more.</p>

<p>American Revolution, WWII, any book that you particularly like, etc.</p>

<p>Don’t use Hitler. Way overused. I used the movie Requiem for a Dream, The Gambler (by Fyodor Dostoevsky) and a personal example from a political campaign I worked on.</p>

6

<p>Don’t use the cliched ones. They leave a stale taste in your readers’ mouths. Find some more obscure, “hidden under the surface” examples to pre-learn in that thread Jayxbx linked.</p>

<p>I used Hitler and got an 11. Just make sure your essay is well-written and takes up 2 pages.</p>
