<p>I'm not sure if there's already a thread for this, but is there any well-known list of examples from literature/history that could help with essay prompts?</p>
<p>I know some such as:</p>
<p>1984
American Revolution
The Great Gatsby
Women's Suffrage
Steve Jobs
French Revolution
Hitler / World War II</p>
<p>But I'm sure that these are not enough to cover all essay prompts, so does anyone have some really good ones that could be used in multiple prompts?</p>
<p>Here are some more:</p>
<p>-Lord of the Flies
-Fahrenheit 451 (though it tends to be overused)
-Julius Caesar
-Their Eyes Were Watching God
-To Kill a Mockingbird
-The Picture of Dorian Gray
-The atomic bomb/Manhattan Project
-Slavery, the Civil War
-Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin (WAY overused)
-Civil Right’s Era (Rosa Parks, MLK)</p>
<p>Try to refrain from using Hitler, for it tends to be controversial and overused as well.</p>
<p>Well, I think I have some more for you :)</p>
