<p>The topic sucked. I want to see a 12 essay on that topic! Does collegeboard post top rated essays after the test? It did have a fill-in bubble which said that we don't want our essay to be published blah blah but I didn't fill it in because I don't care who sees my "creation". At least they'll have a great laugh.</p>
<p>no one fills it in.. why would you</p>
<p>It was a matter of choice,wasn't it? Maybe someone wouldn't like his thingy to be read. Don't know. Don't really care.</p>
<p>nothing in common? umm...i remember the prompt said something about how "people felt secure with those who have something in common....but then they never learn anything new..." does anyone recall this? i can't believe i read it wrong...</p>
<p>Maybe you didn't. The prompt(not the question) was very weird and I couldn't get much of it. How much do you think you'll get on your essay? I think I'll have 7 to 9.</p>
<p>@blue_sky,
tht is how I remember the prompt too. But the essay question now I am getting confused remembering was it in common/ or not in common. I had written the drawbacks of being in a common group. Did I slip up? I am worried.</p>
<p>great! i am not the only one.</p>
<p>i wrote about fahrenheit 451 and the "Persons case" where people joined groups with those whom they had something in common. it was a pretty good essay...lots of detail and argument...i hope i can get a 10 </p>
<p>btw, if it's of topic (i.e. reading the prompt wrong), do you automatically get 0?</p>
<p>No. Even if the prompt was "something" it doesn't matter if you stated the topic in your thesis sentence word by word. Your arguments would be the same (wheather or not to join these and these groups and bla bla bla).</p>
<p>^so... is it something, or nothing in common? Because if its nothing in common, I might even consider cancelling my scores (has the deadline passed..?), since my essay would've been WAAAAAAAAY off topic. If the topic was "Something" in common, then I'm expecting a 10-12</p>
<p>@blue_sky. Hey, I also considered using Farenheit 451, but my brain was foggy, and just decided to use personal anectodes, which I could pull off more easily.</p>
<p>I wrote about nationalism and how it provides us with an identity, despite creating stereotypical groups. I wrote in my 2nd body paragraph that people that have something in common are more psychologically appealing to each other, thus a relationship would be much easier to establish, and thus, more beneficial and valuable.</p>
