<p>After reading this thread <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/764514-sat-essay-prompt-archetypes.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/764514-sat-essay-prompt-archetypes.html</a> I have realized that it is kind of difficult to find examples for these essay categories. Can you please post up some quality examples to use in these categories.</p>
<p>--Following the Crowd</p>
<p>--Following Authority</p>
<p>--Following Creativity</p>
<p>--Hardship and Success</p>
<p>--Self-Determination and Success</p>
<p>--Self-Expectation and Success</p>
<p>--Collaboration and Success</p>
<p>--Ethics and Success</p>
<p>--Quality or Quantity and Success</p>
<p>Technological Progress</p>
<p>Loyalty</p>
<p>Loyalty:
Othello</p>
<p>Creativity:
Hayao Miyazaki
Spike Jones
Kid Cudi</p>
<p>For following the crowd, look up the murder of Kitty Genovese (sp?)
Basically in NY some 40+ years ago, 20 people all stood and watched her get murdered. Nobody did anything because they felt less responsible when more people were around. There are a lot of psych/social experiments done on this. You can also mention the bystander effect.</p>
<p>For following authority, the perfect example would be the Milgram experiment. You can relate it to the Nazis during WWII.</p>
<p>For hardship and success: …Barack Obama? lol</p>
<p>For self expectation and success, I found a really interesting example from a T.V. show (probably the only weakness to it) in which an illusionist basically fools people to think that they’re special and won lotteries when he actually had a large pool of people and made it so that someone had to win. Here’s the link to part one of the 4-5 part episode:
[YouTube</a> - Derren Brown - the System Part 1](<a href=“Derren Brown - the System Part 1 - YouTube”>Derren Brown - the System Part 1 - YouTube)</p>
<p>The others are too vague to really list any relevant examples imo. </p>
<p>And yes I do realize this reply is like 4 months late but I’m responding so that others can see & perhaps share their examples.</p>
<p>I think sometime in February I will post a comprehensive list of examples ranging from Cicero to Michael Jordan. The examples will included 10 - 15 details per example, themes, 5-10 relevant high level vocabulary, and of course which prompts they are applicable too. </p>
<p>As of now I think my comprehensive list of examples will probably be around from 25 - 35.</p>
<p>^ What?? Post it NOWW! NAO!!!
But seriously, you will make a lot of people happy if you do that. Can you please post the unfinished list and continually update it? I’m taking the Jan 22nd SAT and I really really suck when it comes to getting examples for essays. Is there anyway you can make it of benefit to the January test takers?</p>
<p>please?</p>
<p>I too am asking months after the post but PLEASE post that! I can come up with most examples, but I cant for stuff like Collaboration and Quality or Quantity and Success.</p>
