<p>i got a 12 essay pretty sure my essay kicked ass</p>
<p>Writing was sooooooooooo easy!</p>
<p>How many people used Hitler/Nazi Germany as an example?</p>
<p>thought about hitler but i used cortez and the aztecs and also america before the revolution. weird combo. but it works.</p>
<p>hitler? clearly i had a different essay. mine was roughly on decisions (notice this isn't specific. i don't want ets to sue my ass)</p>
<p>pretty good into
1st body paragraph on cold war/cuban missile crisis
2nd, literary source, angels and demons, not so great
3rd, personal experience, again not so great
conclusion of 1 sentence........... </p>
<p>vocab: no big words, merely average </p>
<p>it was only a page and a half, too. there was great potential in the topic but i couldn't think of things quick enough.</p>
<p>i'm thinking 8. guys think a 9 is possible?</p>
<p>^ Most likely an eight. A nine is also possible.</p>
<p>1st ph- intro (good one)
2nd ph- treaty of Versailles (well developed)
2nd page:
3rd ph- catcher in the rye (like 3-4 sentences, rushhed, badly developed)
4th ph- concluding (its ok)</p>
<p>So wut u think of it? A 7 or 8 is my guess
I had to rush cuz it took me like 10 mins to think of the examples... I'm not good at thinking under pressure >.></p>
<p>hahahaah i used Nazi HIitler</p>
<p>and...my family hahaha</p>
<p>thanks, Xcell (btw, your name is the same as an exhilarating ride at 6 flags magic mountain) </p>
<p>if i had only been able to add one more sentence that would've related back to an "old saying" that i mentioned and disagreed with in the into i'd be more confident about getting a 9.</p>
<p>meh. it's over no. nothing i can change.</p>
<p>i wrote about Nazi Germany which is funny because i didnt even read this thread. I also worte about the 3/5 compromise and its effects</p>
<p>did you underline the title of the book and mention the author? that's supposed to help. i didn't last year as a junior and got an 8, but i remember really getting into it. i think it was roughly about cheating and i talked about athletic enhancement and mentioned names of professional athletes and stuff. i just remember feeling that it was good. i underlined angels and demons by dan brown, maybe that'll boost my score lol</p>
<p>edit- wow i just realized i spelled Angels "Angeles" /facepalm</p>
<p>Intro: decent
1st paragraph: Am. Rev (well-developed)
2nd paragraph: Crime and Punishment (a bit rushed)
3rd paragraph: personal example (pretty well developed)
Conclusion: Solid conclusion: spent like 5 mins on it trying to use big words and ended with a punch.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Btw, I used up all 2 pages, underlined titles, used a semicolon and a colon, and wrote neatly. I think I still got a 10... I always get 10s</p>
<p>if that's the case then 10 for sure and with a stroke of luck, 11, and 12 if you're really lucky.</p>
<p>i used Civil War/Atticus Finch</p>
<p>I think:
Intro: Brilliant. I incorporated Adam Smith into it.
First example: Pretty good I think. I'm a little worried that I might have been able to elaborate more. Plus I made up the book.
Second example: gas prices (gas companies and consumers) i'm worried that I may not have developed this enough and that it may go beyond the scope of the essay
Conclusion: Weakest part. Ran out of time but at least managed to get a basic conclusion in.
Used a few big words, but am afraid that I made one grammar error in the conclusion.
Overall, I'm praying for a 10 or higher.
Got a 9 last time.</p>
<p>definitly sounds like 10 quality</p>
<p>Intro: very well developed
Example 1: Grapes of Wrath
Example 2: Civil War
Conclusion: very well</p>
<p>expected score: 11-12</p>
<p>solid. sfgsgsdfg</p>
<p>intro: Well developed, few good vocab words
first paragraph: very good transition and form, cuban missile crisis (gave historical facts/how it related to the prompt/effects/how it would be today without topic of the prompt)
second paragraph: Not as well developed but certainly high quality, aid given to north Korea in exchange for the disassembly of their nuclear plant
conclusion: two or three sentences, was kind of rushed but I think it tied it all in nicely</p>
<p>I used 1.5 pages, I'm not quite sure of my grade now after reading some of the self-graded essays on this thread, at the time I thought it was a rather good essay for the 25 minute time restraint</p>
<p>wow i hope i get a 8 on my essay.. if i dont get over a 670 on writing i will be mad.. really mad..</p>
