<p>Well I had 1 and 1/2 pages, only 1 example (really unconventional) about how Liu Xiaobo gave in to the communist regime (roftlmao i hope I get democratic readers)</p>
<p>What about you guys? what did you write about?</p>
<p>I found this somewhere:
Dear ladies and GentleMen of the CollegeBoard founded in 1930 by Gaston Caperton to aid and promote high school students to provide standardized tests to promote intellectual aquitity, welcome, to my essay.</p>
<p>I bid you take a seat and enjoy my essays, [sic, added an extra s ]</p>
<p>First off, mistakes are bad. Imagine a world where people make mistakes. Imagine a world where the government is unable to not make mistakes. Imagine a world. Now stop imagining that world, because this world which exists is our world. Now, I ask of you, is this a good world? Is this a good world? “world is good?” as yoda would say. In the movie Star Wars. Yoda is a master who made mista [sic]</p>
<p>lol, someone was spamming that earlier. best essay ever, you get a 12</p>
<p>Did anyone argue against discipline leading to freedom?</p>
<p>I did, using Catcher in the Rye and Hammurabi’s code.</p>
<p>i talked about self discipline -> responsibility -> freedom</p>
<p>used 3 examples, 1 and 3/4 pages. conclusion and intro was each only 3sentences long though…</p>
<p>Fahrenheit 451, American Revolution, personal example</p>
<p>Hello all. I like the Articles of Confederations, test corrections, and repeating lab experiments. They make me happy 
also, my essay consisted of 3 examples. I ran out of time, so I was only able to write 1 and 1/3 pages and no conclusion -_-</p>
<p>I just talked about myself for the discipline prompt</p>
<p>Of Mice and Men by John Steinback</p>
<p>Britian’s colonial losses (as the converse) and Muhammad Yunus</p>
<p>thesis: those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it
support 1: Eurozone crisis, failure to learn from New Deal and keynesian economic policies
support 2: lack of willingness to analyze results suggests a lack of trying on an individual level (academics)
conclusion: either we look to the past for answers or commit the same atrocities</p>
<p>kind of lame on the micro support (I try to write my essays with one macro/historical level support and one micro/individual support)</p>
<p>thesis:
One has to pay attention to mistakes to improve (make progress) but one can’t be so anticipatory and cautious about mistake making to not make a mistake at all.
-said it more succinct on the test ofc
examples:</p>
<p>Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Room with a View by EM Forster
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien
The Great Gatsby</p>
<p>go lit!</p>
<p>Man, I should have stuck to history examples only. I had a whole list of them but didn’t want to seem to centered on history.</p>
<p>I used Steve Job’s exile and return to Apple and a personal experience. Took up the entire two pages, so really couldn’t support my personal experience as well as I would’ve truly liked to D:</p>
<p>I said it’s important to learn from mistakes…and talked about space rocket failures, wright brothers, and trial + error (pers. ex=reverse solving math mc ?'s). :|</p>
<p>If I didn’t use a specific example for one of my supports but rather a generality, how damaging is that?</p>
<p>One and a half pages using Thoreau and Renaissance humanists (Raphael, Petrarch specifically) to show that discipline may lead to freedom but the imposition of it by corrupt human institutions inherently prevents it</p>
<p>i had the one about discipline, and i used Frederick Douglass and The Odyssey as examples</p>
