<p>What was your essay about?</p>
<p>-list your examples.</p>
<p>my examples were both personal examples.... team + family. </p>
<p>Does it really matter what kind of examples we gave? I am a relatively strong writer, so my essay was well written and what not.</p>
<p>yeah i couldnt think of any hist or lit examples, so i gave 2 personal..turns out i thought of a decent hist example right after i finished..didnt want to erase</p>
<p>I had a intro. and 3 supporting examples:
-Civil Rights
-THe Assualt (book)
-Marching Band</p>
<p>I ran out of room for a conclusion. Am I screwed?</p>
<p>i did taxes... i.e finacal freedom</p>
<p>william wallace , i just watched the movie yesterday.
WW II fighters in China and Taiwan
Michael Jordan</p>
<p>we are all talking about the truth change topic, right?</p>
<p>i used frederick douglass (it was weird) and religion. :( i was going to go further with mathematical concepts, but didnt get to finish.</p>
<p>Mine was about choice and whether people are truly free or are influenced by circumstances</p>
<p>I used two feminist examples lol</p>
<p>One was the women's suffrage movement of the early 20th century, how women wanted to vote but couldn't</p>
<p>the other was on the book "So long a letter" where the narrator lives in another male dominated society and disagreed with several aspects of it yet couldn't do anything about it.</p>
<p>so history and literature... I only managed to finish 3 paragraphs within the time limit though argh!
I'm praying for a 10 or 11 (if one of the readers is in a very good mood)</p>
<p>I was talking about the community/willingness one</p>
<p>oh. that's good because i thought 'oh my god my examples are so different!!!' :p</p>
<p>my topic was 'does the truth change depending on how people look at things?' word-to-word.</p>
<p>I was talking about the community/willingness one... DITTO</p>
<p>i wrote about a girl football player who sprained their ankle in a championship & me going to germany.</p>
<p>I got the community/ willingness essay. I wrote about the armed servicemen who give up thier dreasm and aspirations to go overseas to fight for our rights. "They are giving up thier agenda in order to provide for the greatest good for our nation".</p>
<p>My last two body paragraphs, as well as the conclusion, were so rushed. Like only covered 4 lines each.</p>
<p>How long was everyone's essay? Mine barely covered 1.5 :(</p>
<p>i didn't have a full conclusion. I just wrapped things up, mentioned my examples ( which by the way had to with sacrifice for a team and for a child... that would actually benefit their personal intrest anyway).. and was done.
but it was almost 2 pgs... i was suprised how fast i wrote it, because i sat there before hand wondering what the people who "pre -wrote " did and if i should've too.</p>
<p>I talked about ants, Czeslav Milosz, and Frankenstein.</p>
<p>Now, how close I stayed on topic, on the other hand, is a different matter :)</p>
<p>i had the truth changes topic: my essay was so bs... i had:</p>
<p>civil war (lincoln)
gatsby
and abortion</p>
<p>I had the personal interest/group interest one... I managed to get two full pages (I finished at the exact last second), but I know my examples were really bad.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the exact question for the team/willingness question? I forgot it word to word...but I said that a team is more successful than people's willingness for..personal interest?</p>
<p>I used the example of Michael Jordan, although on the contrary, to us he was a superstar of the Chicago Bulls, I said how was always looked as just one of the team members on the team. Without his teammates help together as one, they wouldn't be able to go to the championship games. Then I made up a book which was bad, because it was kind of weak haha. Then I used the movie Miracle where Coach Herb trained the U.S. hockey team as one team, not individual because without the team, the individual doesn't have someone to share the happiness with or something along those lines, it would be more successful as a team than an invidiual.</p>
