Universal Examples for the Essay?

<p>I'm having difficulties in writing the essay within the allotted time mainly because I cannot think of any strong examples for the topic. Perhaps you guys can share 5 or 6 examples that can be plugged in for any kind of topics? :D</p>

<p>Go find some books on your bookshelf or open up your history textbook</p>

<p>I think 1984 is a novel that can fit almost any prompt…</p>

<p>duckBlase: The thing is, my country’s history is not as complicated as yours. My attempt to find any significant event in it remains futile. Still, thanks for the advice. :)</p>

<p>Literature:
1984
Fahrenheit 451
Crime and Punishment
Julius Caesar
Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
Hamlet
Bible
Greek/Roman Mythology
Animal Farm
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Giver
The Hobbit
The Outsiders
Treasure Island
Moby Dick</p>

<p>People & History:
Hitler/WWI + II/Holocaust
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Cold War/Soviet Russia
Communist China
Great Depression in U.S.
Economic recession today
Republicans vs. Democrats
War in Iraq/Afghanistan
Iran/North Korea
Presidents of the U.S.; leaders from any country
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Civil War/Abraham Lincoln
Atom bombing of Hiroshima/Pearl Harbor</p>

<p>basically if you know two stories very well (novels, plays, short stories), you can apply them to almost any SAT topic. the only exception are questions that force you to write about the present day. even then, you can sometimes use the stories as contrasts to argue your point.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comprehensive list, TRUFFLIEPUFF. And thanks for the advice, truthdude. :)</p>
