<p>I'm taking the SAT for the first time on March 10th. That being said, I have some questions regarding the essay section.</p>
<p>1) Is it ok to use two historical examples for the essay?</p>
<p>For example, one of my practice essays asked whether life should be sacrificed for liberty. I thought that two relevant, strong examples were William Wallace's fight for Scottish freedom from English rule, and the feudal insurrection triggered by Japan's 19th century Meiji Restoration.</p>
<p>Is it ok to use two historical examples? I would have liked to include a piece of literature in my essay, but I couldn't think of any books concerning liberty at the moment. Can anyone suggest some books about liberty?</p>
<p>2) Are examples from movies, tv shows, and comics acceptable, given that they are pertinent to the topic?</p>
<p>I would think so, if they can tie in to your argument flawlessly. I'm not fully sure if they would be treated with mild disdain by the readers, though.</p>
<p>Any answers would be appreciated!</p>
