<p>As the tittle says, I want examples to study and use on in the Essay section. I don't want books though, I'm not gonna read a whole boring book just to write 5 or 6 lines from it! I might use books that I have already read, but not going to force myself to read a whole book. Please post all the examples you can think of. I'm taking the SAT again JUST to improve my Essay's score, so please help! Also, how many words do you usually write? I know it is not about length, but I still wanna know. Thanks.</p>
<p>Read some of the other essay posts on this page. I don’t think you are going to improve your score until you improve your approach.</p>
<p>The examples I use are:
Susan B. Anthony and the passing of the 19th amendment (women’s rights)
Harriet Beecher Stowe and Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Bill Gates
Phoebe Prince and bullying
