<p>Hey lolcats,
I used Obama too!</p>
<p>what were your main arguments for the planning and creativity?
i’m so scared mine was off-topic!!</p>
<p>theReach, are you in APUSH?
Lol, because we’re right at Andrew Carnegie/Gilded Age/Early 20th century industrialism right now in that class.</p>
<p>Wait…how many prompts were there? Mine was “Do highly accomplished people achieve more due to higher expectations?”
Yea the one basically said "Most people underestimate their abilities etc etc"</p>
<p>There was only 1 prompt?! Because that's the one I got...?</p><p>If I filled the two pages but only said it could be disastrous and didn’t mention it impeding creativity, did I mess up bad?</p>
<p>I had the higher expectations and achievement one…</p>
<p>I used Dracula and the New Deal.</p>
<p>Don’t even ask. I think things went a lot better <em>after</em> the essay…</p>
<p>Yeah NEvitably, I’m in APUSH haha. We got past Carnegie a couple of chapters ago, we are on politics in the gilded age and the Progressive Era (my teacher is crazy, doesn’t give us breaks in our notes)</p>
<p>I used the essay itself (LOL You should know what topic this was), Jackson Pollock, the prompt given, and had a few allusions to I forget what.</p>
<p>lee iacocca, president of chryseler
Howard Schultz, founder of Starbucks
Atticus Finch from to kill a mockingbird</p>
<p>My own experience working in an ecology lab
An article I read from a travel magazine about travelers to Egypt
Jackson Pollock</p>
<p>
Lol, I was also planning to use it but couldn’t find a place to insert it. I did so-so on the essay but ran out of time before I could finish the conclusion. It was left as: “As my friends state,” " -_-</p>
<p>Wow the intl. prompt seemed easy!!! Damn it! </p>
<p>I’m scared I went off topic with the Planning & Creativity one…ugh.</p>
<p>How many different prompts were there?</p>
<p>i think mine might have been a bit off topic
i argued that planning diminished creativity</p>
<p>and used utopian communities as my example
i used the book Anthem, and some of the utopian communities that used to exist in the US</p>
<p>@gregb: phalansteries??</p>
<p>I used “Brave New World” Hauxily, “slapstick” Kurt vonnegut, and albert einstein as examples</p>
<p>no, not them.
i used the shakers.</p>
<p>i just mentioned them briefly though. i wish i developed it a bit though</p>
<p>Damn. That was my practice essay examples:P</p>
<p>I used Shawshank Redemption and personal experiences</p>
<p>@gregb:i just found out about fourier, the sea of lemonade, the anti-whale, and the little hordes. hilarious! </p>
<p>(speaking of off-topic. ahem)</p>
<p>hahaha very nice
i’m just glad the SAT is over</p>
<p>i didn’t prepare whatsoever</p>
<p>Topic here: Are people recognized as highly accomplished because of the goals they set on themselves or something along that line.</p>
<p>Started off with the Robert Frost “Two Roads…” poem stanza, exampled Barack Obama (since kindergarten, he always said that the job he wanted to be was President - I’m serious, look this up) and finished up with a conclusion. Not two examples as I would have wished it to be, but I think it should suffice since it filled up two pages.</p>
