<p>Hey guys, i thought i'd make this thread to gather up some good examples for tommorow's SAT Essay. Let's think of Broad examples that can possibly be used in any situation. Heres a few:</p>
<ul>
<li>World War II</li>
<li>Nazi Germany</li>
</ul>
<p>good idea!</p>
<p>but it's October 2008?</p>
<p>is history event better to use than literary?</p>
<p>1 history/person, 1 literary, and 1 personal example is ideal, right?</p>
<p>There is no "ideal." It really doesnt matter. I used 2 examples from history and got a 12.</p>
<p>i usually can barely finish my second example! how do u guys do 3??? i read some sample essays (i think on CB) with only one example and got 12's...but they'r personal and show personal growth and expansion of knowledge...i guess that gave 'em the edge</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby can be used a lot.</p>
<p>The great depression can be a good example, as can be WWII</p>
<p>as for books, mine is usually the grapes of wrath.</p>
<p>1984 can be used sometimes. I find the civil rights movement can be used a lot too.</p>
<p>Almost anything can be used...I think? Veracity (truthfulness.. know it!) isn't necessary I thought?</p>
<p>how about making up a book lol</p>
<p>Patrick Bateman from bb.com?</p>
<p>can someone give me the jest of how the great depression, WWI-WWII, vietnam war can be used? lol i'm rusty</p>
<p>patrick bateman is from americn psycho...</p>
<p>ahh. thank you for that.</p>
<p>I like using one literary and one historical... well let's be about it then. Good night.</p>
<p>It seems as thought when you are given a prompt under time constraints, you can't think but when you're driving back home after the test you get all these ideas in your head and you tell yourself, "DANG why didn't I think of that when I was writing the essay?"</p>
<p>A history and personal worked ine for me today. :D</p>
<p>I used a history and a current event... a slight deviation from the plan, but hopefully it turns out alright.</p>
<p>One literary and one history. :]
At least a 10 essay.</p>
