<p>Haha. So I took this prompt off the internet and decided to write a SAT essay. Can anyone tell me what I would get if I wrote this on the SAT && tell me how I can improve?</p>
<p>(p.s. it took me about 30 minutes to write the essay, so I'll try to cut the time down next time i write)</p>
<p>But here it is!</p>
<p>(also, I'm not a really good writer, so any advice is helpful.
And I BSed some of the facts. Like Pablo Picasso. I'm not sure if it was true or not.)</p>
<p>Does planning contribute to or interfere with creativity?</p>
<p>Planning definitely interferes with creativity. With planning, you don't have the stress and the ideas that let your creativity tell the story. Most artists don't plan their artworks. Whatever comes to mind, they use it and the artwork is made. They also don't plan on where their artwork might land someday. In science, we would never accomplish anything if we didn't let our creativity go wild. Surely if Darwin's parents wanted him to become a pastor, would we understand evolution? Similar to life, when one plans out a strategy, a goal, or even just a road trip, we move on in life and we try to make the best of it.</p>
<p>Pablo Picasso never planned his artwork. Whatever fly into his mind, he painted. Similar to the movie "The Red Violin", the violin-maker didn't plan to have his wife die nor did he plan on creating the -hence the title- the red violin with his deceased wife's blood. The Red Violin also plays a role as a unplanned lifestyle. The violin didn't decide whether it will go to England during the Renaissance Era or to China during the Cultural Revolution. But all of these adventures made the instrument even more special and valuable. At the end of the movie, it mentions about how the Red Violin is still out there experiencing with more trouble, problems, and journeys unplanned. </p>
<p>Victor Frankenstein, from the novel Frankenstein, is what society calls a Mad Scientist. But without mad scientists -or scientists in general-, how would we know about anything? If we followed the planned routes of our lives, would we still be sitting in this room writing this essay? Will we be as technological advance as we are today? Darwin's parents thought the appropriate job for their son (Charles Darwin) to be a pastor. However, the unplanned events caused their son to go on the H.M.S Beagle and study the bird's beaks at the Galapagos Islands. Archimedes took a bath in oil that led us to understand geometry. If we planned all of our life out, technology won't be as advance as we currently are today. </p>
<p>Impromptu leads to some of the best times in my life. One summer, my friends and I decided that sitting in the same park everyday was insanely boring. So we decided to embark on an adventure around the city. We didn't know where we were going, where we were going to eat, or really where were we? But this adventure allowed me taste some of the tastiest pizza, traveled in the oddest fashion, and meet some of the most talented street artists out there. If my friends and I planned all of this, none of this adventure would have happened. In fact, we would probably be still sitting at the same park for the next 20 years.</p>
<p>When someone plans something, they know what is going to happen and nothing creative or odd will happen. But when you take a journey around the city or just betray your parents wishes and not what is ahead of you.Well, you may have some of the best experiences you ever wished for.</p>
