June SAT Essay Discussion

<p>Holy crap, I did not know we weren't supposed to skip lines. </p>

<p>I ended up running out of room after 1 example.</p>

<p>errr, aren't we not supposed to be talking about this? you people are going to get your scores canceled. no discussion until your essay is posted online!</p>

<p>lol, i couldnt think of anything
i talked about the founding fathers and habitat for humanity =/</p>

<p>i think my thesis was,its better to concentrate on goals that will make u happy..or something like that i forgot lol</p>

<p>waitt...is that even an ok thesis? somethign near there like how its better to focus on goals that will make u happy?</p>

<p>my first sentences was agreeing with the well known quote "money does not equal happiness". i built off that, and said that striving to meet one's goals does not always render happiness. im not sure if i answered the question 100% correctly now that i look back, but whatever.. im not going to worry about it, ill find out in a few weeks anyways.</p>

<p>"Holy crap, I did not know we weren't supposed to skip lines. </p>

<p>I ended up running out of room after 1 example."</p>

<p>LOL.....why in the world would you assume that??</p>

<p>Hey, could there have been two happiness essays? I thought the prompt was about considering other people's happiness over your own to achieve personal satisfaction. I might have been mistaken, but that's the essay that I wrote about. I just find it weird that College Board would give two different prompts on happiness...</p>

<p>did anyone do the testmaster "the question blah blah suggests,"</p>

<p>I wrote the best sentence by far ever thought by me.. Like honestly, i ended my essay with a rhetorical question and it was AMAZING.</p>

<p>I wrote "what if you owned happiness but you had nothing to be happy about?" </p>

<p>That should set me up man. Overall, i think the essay was actually not that bad.</p>

<p>Okay is it bad if you made a personal example, but didnt' explain it too carefully? Also what if u only had 2 supporting paragraphs, but explained in depth.</p>

<p>was the topic weather one is happier when one is focusing on his own happiness or one is happier when helping other ppl</p>

<p>The Topic Was Confusing Period!</p>

<p>yeah It was. I interpreted it as if setting goals give u more happiness than actually owning happiness but nothing to be happy about. That was my main idea.</p>

<p>It couldve beeen interpreted in so many ways.</p>

<p>i couldnt think of good examples</p>

<p>wow i totally misunderstood prompt, i thought it meant is one happier when focusing on his own happiness or when helping others</p>

<p>I dunno. It was so ambiguous. If you think mine is correct the way I interpreted it.. dont be so sure because Im not so sure if mine IS correct?..</p>

<p>Anyone who understood the essay want to tell me if i interpreted it or wrong? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I wrote about Social Psychology and why helping others brings happiness. I used the whole nature nurture thing. </p>

<p>I hated the prompt though..it could of been better.</p>

<p>Prompts</a> FYI</p>

<p>I had the happiness one as well... I used "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "A Million Little Pieces" I couldn't have asked for a better essay... soo easy lol</p>

<p>haha movies? i wanted to use spiderman so badly for heroes but decided against it :-(</p>

<p>I used Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Upton Sinclair.</p>
