<p>Too many tests... need to weed out the goods</p>
<p>Mine was horrible. Couldn't think of examples of people being happy in bad situations, so I talked about people being unhappy in good situations ~ not a strong argument, I know!</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm expected a 9 or 10. It was a weak argument, but this time I almost filled up the entire second page.</p>
<p>I wrote about abe lincoln.</p>
<p>He grew up in a poor background but was optimistic and became successful. Hopefully a 12</p>
<p>i used romeo and juliet, frankenstein, and a personal example. Wasnt' the point to argue either for the we can choose to be happy or against the argument? sry, just curious, but how did u argue his being optimistic relate to the topic? I dont comprehend</p>
<p>The prompt asks what you should do. So you can relate to history or anything</p>
<p>I did Eisenhower. Hemetic in the face of European pressure to go to war... eventually VE Day... etc.
i never really thought that the ets cared about the subject. just ur ability to put it together and use language... so like arklogic can probably bend it around</p>
<p>I think you can write about anything as long as it relates to the prompt in some way.</p>
<p>what did u guys think about the writing stuff Qs</p>
<p>i guess so</p>
<p>I didn't take the SAT today, but when I read the topic, Anne Frank was the first thing that popped into my mind. Good luck to you guys, though:)</p>
<p>Same situation as rockermcr, but the first thing that popped into my mind was Voltaire's Candide..."this is the best of all possible worlds"...as the characters go through awful situations. It's kind of a satire, though, so I don't know if it would work.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Candide would work... I read it a long time ago, though, so I don't remember everything clearly...</p>
<p>When you used examples, how specific did you get? On the Sparknotes guide thing is says to mention dates and names - as if I can remember those! What did you guys include?</p>
