<p>I sent in a hand-written 30 minute in class essay on the comparisons between two marriage proposals (one in a book by Jane Austen, the other by Charles Dickens).</p>
<p>It's very short. About a page.</p>
<p>after reading all these posts. i sent in another writing sample today. i just fedexed it! my crazy ap english teacher takes months before returning our papers, but i am sending a paper on Moby Dick. My best essay all year. 98/100 and it was well deserved oh man it was. late night by the lamp. i wrote about homosexuality. do you think that was to big of a controversial topic for an admissions analytical paper. oh well.</p>
<p>I sent in a 3/4 page analysis of Dickens's prose in A Tale of Two cities. After seeing what you guys wrote, I kinda regret it. I would've sent in my 7 page paper on Race Relations and Invisible man I wrote for my US History course at UVA last year, but I thought it was too long. We still haven't written an essay in AP English yet this year (aside from timed AP ones).</p>
<p>I was accepted ED1 as a feb starting in 07 and I sent in an essay that I wrote as part of the course Interpretations of Law and Literature. It was a court opinion based on a moot court held in class on the legality of abortion, written in the style of an official Supreme Court opinion. It was about 8 pages long and recieved a B/B+ with honors.
I don't know if that helps at all, but that's what I sent... and I got in :)</p>
<p>WOW. i must have really misinterpreted the instructions. i thought it said brief???!!!!? i didn't really have any "brief" assignments this year so i sent in a piece i wrote on my own about a piece of art from the vancouver gallery. it was less than a page. it's too late for me to do anything about it now, but im sort of worried... my teacher critiqued it for me and everything...but i figured that made much more sense than sending in a five part paper about wordsworth. i mean...my school doesn't have any "Interpretations of Law and Literature" classes...and i guess i've approached this whole application with a less complicated view than most??</p>
<p>I can;t even remember what I sent in, because I decided to apply the day applications were due, so I just sent whatever I found in my backpack. Haha, I literally have no idea what I sent. Oh well.</p>
<p>i used some essay from the beginning of junior year... it was on the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. not the most action-packed book, but my essay was okay</p>
<p>im gonna send in the 500 word IB commentary and its revision i think.</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>im sending in one about wwI british poets. it's like 7 pages, but all my papers are that long...i hope it's okay.</p>
<p>I'm sending a 5-page paper I wrote for AP Eng Lit in September about the main character's growth in A Room with a View. I thought it was not that great when I handed it in, but I got a really good grade and then I re-read it last week and I actually kinda liked it...so I was like, what the heck?</p>
<p>i am sending in a 4 page paper contrasting characterization in two different tales in canterbury tales</p>
<p>Oooh, excellent choice with A Room With A View, btlesgirl. Great book. </p>
<p>I'm probably going to submit my 60-minute timed essay comparing Vergil and Dante's depiction of the Elysian Fields and Hell, respectively. It's two and a half pages long, and I received an 8+/9- (on the AP essay scale) for it. Looking back, though, it's definitely not representative of my control of language, although the analysis is thorough.</p>
<p>So - honestly, I haven't decided yet.</p>
<p>hmm...I'm sending in one of the practice ap english lang. prompts that I did in class. It's not perfect, but I think it shows what I can do in 45 minutes and is pretty good. It's only like 3/4 of a page typed, though.</p>
<p>yeah, i sent in a ap lang prompt from last year based on a passage from The Crucible. 2 pages and obviously not edited or anything. </p>
<p>and i was deferred.</p>
<p>i sent an IB HL text production homework from the media unit; with its rationale and everything. it was written in a newspaper article style and it was roughly 800 words without a rationale, 1000 words with a rationale. it was based on how TV took our lives and it was based on the roger waters album, amused to death. my grade was 89% and i got in.</p>
<p>I'm sending an essay about the balance between art and politics using Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko (scathingly anti-Stalin) as an example. I <3 my essay!</p>
<p>I gave in a memoir about my childhood i did last year in AP Lang., and I just got in through EDI.</p>
<p>3pg gov essay on the extent of dual sovereignty and devolution in the united states.</p>
<p>its very generic in terms of the topic, but I got an A for what its worth.</p>
<p>I'm sending a three and a half page in-class commentary about the opening scene of A Streetcar Named Desire. It's hardly my most polished piece of writing, but I think it's a good analysis, and I got a 25/25 on the IB commentary scale. (There is also the fact that my English teacher, who isn't known for being easily impressed, scrawled "Superb!" in the margin next to one of my paragraphs. I was pretty excited. :p)</p>
