<p>I USED 1984 AS AN EXAMPLE TOO!!! yes. i’m not the only one. i was so worried when people started talking about how they used jersey shore as their example lol</p>
<p>neutral is fine as long as you have good support.</p>
<p>@SGil - It is not as important as number of paragraphs, and writing a coherent readable essay with minimal grammatical errors. I only filled a page and a half (I write small), but I am confident I was 10+.</p>
<p>i had reality TV and used 2 main examples. </p>
<p>Jersey Shore and The Biggest Loser, and both as harmful.
Jersey Shore is clear but i put a different spin with the whole Biggest Loser thing. I said that people that watch the show and witness others lose weight will often try to repeat the same process. Many times people will fail and will feel even worse especially compounded with the fact that people are succeeding on the so called “reality” tv show. I then compared it to girls who look at models and are depressed that they dont look like them, similarly overweight people will feel similar emotions if they fail to lose weight as those on the show. I then added in some BS that the biggest loser over simplifies the challenge to lose weight and dramatizes it… (even though thats not really true at all). But whatever</p>
<p>Fat people SHOULD feel bad, we’re all subsidizing their terrible eating habits through medicaid.</p>
<p>…wait, this isn’t the place for that. :D</p>
<p>I got the Reality TV prompt. I wrote about jersey shore and learning from other mistakes. I also wrote about how TV shows like biggest looser can be motivational.</p>
<p>I also have never seen these shows. It is kind of hard to use specific examples and logically talk about them without knowing what you are trying to talk about. This prompt had almost no potential to connect to literature or history like you are generally supposed to.</p>
<p>Oh, and if I wanted a more personal and directed prompt, I would have taken the ACT instead.</p>
