<p>and this</p>

<p>*Prompt 2</p>

<p>Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.</p>

<p>People usually assume that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it. We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and then spending as much time as possible analyzing that information. But there are times when making a quick judgment is the best thing to do. Decisions made quickly can be as good as decisions made slowly and cautiously.</p>

<p>Adapted from Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking</p>

<p>Assignment:</p>

<p>Are decisions made quickly just as good as decisions made slowly and carefully? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.*</p>

<p>Hey timmy, what passages/SC’s were in 3? Do you remember?</p>

5

<p>I really don’t remember.
But I know it wasn’t the chinese girl or automobiles.</p>

<p>It was either the pipes or some other one I don’t remember.</p>

6

<p>These are the passages I had:</p>

<p>pipe/painting
automobile
girl and mother
arts and crafts movement
physics
mexican author
brain</p>

7

<p>I think the passage in 3 was the Louis May Alcott passage I got, which was probably the experimental, because nobody else seems to really have it.</p>

8

<p>I don’t remember a Louis May Alcott passage at all. Can you be more specific?</p>

9

<p>^Nope, it was specifically about Louis May Alcott and her two-faced writing style. I remember it pretty well, but if you don’t remember Alcott then you probably didn’t have that passage.</p>

10

<p>That was the pipe passage.
She painted two pipes.</p>

<p>I had it.</p>

11

<p>^What the eff???
It was NOT the pipe passage. Louis May Alcott is an author not an artist.
I remember the pipe passage and I know for a fact the painter painting the pipes was not Alcott.</p>

12

<p>The pipe painter was some guy although now that I think of it I think pipes and physics was the same passage.</p>

13

<p>^You’re probably right, cause I remember physicist mentioned in the italic blurb.</p>

14

<p>what did the equating section look like?</p>

15

<p>I know that there are different versions (ex. sections) of the SAT, but do you guys know if the international/east coast/west coast versions are all different from each other or are they all the same?</p>

<p>It doesn’t look like the Frida Kahlo passage is in there.</p>

18

<p>No? I remember something about a girl artist doing pipes…
maybe its just me hallucinating</p>

19

<p>You’re hallucinating. The girl artist was Frida Kahlo. She dressed up to mimic her inner feelings. The artist of the pipes was some guy. The pipes was just the intro paragraphs to the rest of the physics guy argument about how nothing is finite because we can’t possibly know everything in the universe.</p>

<p>I’m certain I didn’t see anything for Frida Kahlo…
I would know… I mean who in the right mind would have a unibrow?
