<p>Do an intro, MAKE UP 3 examples, do a conclusion.</p>
<p>Example: Topic= Is freedom always the best for everyone.</p>
<p>Intro- use up space repeating the question, say no</p>
<p>ex 1- My sister at Brown was given too much freedom and she felt stressed out because she didn't know what classes to take because of the open curriculum</p>
<p>ex 2-In the book Jacky Brown, a girl Jacky Brown likes being a servant because she feels being in the real world and having to make her own choices is too much pressure</p>
<p>ex 3- My brother was forced to take science class, which he wouldn't have done on his own (he wanted to do football instead), but he ended up loving it and discovering a cure for a deadly disease that saved many lives.</p>
<p>It’s only easy if you know how to make up relevant examples and tie them together in an essay that flows from your thesis to a conclusion. In other words, if you show the skills needed to receive a good essay grade.</p>
<p>Well, that seems like a pretty good essay. I think I’ll give you a 10.</p>
<p>Oh, wait a minute! Your first example was from personal experience, and those are frowned upon.</p>
<p>You get a 9.</p>
<p>Oh, shizzle! So is your third! </p>
<p>You get an 8.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>. . . For real? I mean, you can embellish your examples, but let’s be serious here.</p>
<p>You get a 7.</p>
<p>Although, it’s no secret that the introduction is going to be the most scrutinized paragraph, and I don’t know if your “repeating the question” idea is such a good one. </p>
<p>You get a 4.</p>
<p>Oh, and your conclusion is bad, too. You need to connect it to a larger idea.</p>
<p>3.</p>
<p>I was going to leave example 2 alone, but nowhere there does it say that her shying away from choices was the best move. It just says she’s now blissfully ignorant.</p>
<p>2.</p>
<p>You posted this twenty freaking million times.</p>
<p>You get a -1.</p>
<p>Happy?</p>
<p>(Yes, I copied this from your other thread, but at least I have the COURTESY to say that I posted the same crap twice.)</p>
<p>Its not supposed to be hard…but I honestly don’t buy into the whole “making up examples” deal…I find it much more difficult to create fiction than to just recall a random historical or literary example…less thinking involved in just reciting facts…</p>
<p>its true…I had an SAT tutor who said all they look for is structure.
or as my english teacher likes to call the it the “three pronger thesis” structure. HAHA
but ya…as long as you can write a coherent sentence and put it into that format it is a guaranteed</p>
<p>Totally useles…you do NOT need 3 examples to get a 12…you can use 1 if you’re a really good writert-that is if you develop it really well…the SAT people love to see description and details and its much easier to do that if its, at least for the most part, based on an actual experience or event.</p>
