<p>Essay</p>

<p>Work as group goals better than individual goals</p>

<p>i put example of basketball TEAM (cicago bulls work together at getting national champs)</p>

<p>Huck finn and jim- work together to achieve freedom, better than if they worked together to realiz individual goals.</p>

<p>WWII- hitler kills, alies work together to defend peace, work togethr for one common goal. forget individual rpoblems such as economy and stuff, and focused on removing hitler.</p>

<p>is that good essay material</p>

<p>wut did everyone else use as examples?</p>

2

<p>Wow...now I'm worried that my examples were way too universal. I used WWII, pro football teams and English abolition of slavery.</p>

3

<p>i tried to twist specific examples so i used MLK and Lincoln. i said MLK was part of the civil rights movement but held by his own ideals of non-violence and i said lincoln didn't give into radical ideas of the emancipation movement (like suffrage for blacks) cause if he had, then more northerners would've opposed him. i dunno how much they'll like those but thats what i thought of on the spot</p>

4

<p>Are you serious? Lmao I've seen that same prompt in a sat prep book</p>

5

<p>I thought my essay was pretty decent. I used the United Nations, The Iliad, and real-life fake example.</p>

6

<p>i said that individual freedom was important in helping groups</p>

<p>examples: </p>

<p>alexander the great being like a tyrant and having his army mutiny, thus ruining the entire macedonian empire</p>

<p>capitalism itself (lol, i thought that was obvious), and the fact that america has the best economy in the world b/c people have individual choice</p>

<p>personal example from a club lol</p>

7

<p>soccer experience
jimmy neutron episode lmao</p>

8

<p>I talked about the American Federation of Labor, French Philosophes and community council</p>

9

<p>what exactly was the question? I'm afraid that I read it too fast and interpreted wrong.</p>

10

<p>crispsoph u obviously didnt take the test and want the essay topic.</p>

<p>Anyways,
I said groups having one idea is better
I used Westward Expansion, and World War II.</p>

11

<p>Walden Two + personal anecdote</p>

12

<p>political parties and member of sports team (personal anecdote)</p>

13

<p>political parties and unions work better together, ie. radical republicans of reconstruction/women's suffrage</p>

14

<p>sportsfreak, I used almost exactly the same examples!</p>

15

<p>I used two examples - 1984 and The Grapes of Wrath. My paragraphs were really long; I filled up the whole two pages. Can you still get a 11 or 12 without three examples? I know the SAT is essay is just graded, essentially, by a formula, so I may be out of 11-12 range. My essay was insightful, but it just didn't have the formulaic three examples.</p>

16

<p>ha thats really not a big deal. you don't need 3 examples to get an 11 or 12, at all. if your essay is insightful you shouldn't worry about it.</p>

17

<p>Well, that's good. The prep book I read (Sparknotes Critical Reading and Writing Workbook) seriously emphasized the formula. ;)</p>

18

<p>I used MLK, and V for Vendetta, thats a book too right..</p>

19

<p>asc3nd - I definitely took the test, i know everything that's on it
i don't know why you drew that conclusion but I was just afraid that I didn't read the question correctly and digressed from the topic.</p>

20

<p>I used Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens as my main example and personal anecdote... I hope the Pettite/Clemens thing works???</p>
