<p>ahh so someone told me that my SAT essay was completely off topic. can someone tell me if thats true? </p>
<p>..ok had the practicality essay. the quote talked about how people learn to get somewhere and dont learn for learning's sake. and the question was (dont remember EXACTLY) but, Do we put too much emphasis upon learning practical skills?</p>
<p>and i wrote about how a lot of people do put too much empasis on learning just practical skills and only have a superficial understanding because thats all they "need" to get somewhere in life. and i talked about how a lot of top students at my school (i made this up) cheat and they obviously dont really `care about learning for learings sake rather they just want to get somewhere. </p>
<p>i feel really dumb now but is that off topic?</p>
<p>No, that's not off-topic. That was one of the points the paragraph made, as you noted, so it's definitely not off-topic.</p>
<p>Oh definately not off topic. </p>
<p>Want to know whats off topic?</p>
<p>This is off topic</p>
<p>Prompt: Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today?</p>
<p>(West Coast essay. Actually unrefined essay)</p>
<p>It is without a doubt that humans have emphasized the importance of creativity. But what is questioned today by many experts is whether if the desire to chase creativity has declined during the years. Perhaps the people who do believe that creativity has declined have failed to see that it is not the demand of innovation which has being curtailed but it is the failure of humans to synthesize anything authentic that led to a period with insipid tastes!</p>
<p>Picasso is the watershed of modern art. To the common eye, Picasso's works may seem uncomprehensible but it is a facr that he is revered as one of the best painters of all time by an overwhelming number of people. The people who do like him may be like the rest of us; failing to ultimately 'understand' his peices. However, what people adore is the fact that Picasso is creative. It is not a common sight to see human legs on top of eyeballs or figures distorted beyond recognition. If another Picasso arises among the dull minds of today, people will perhaps not welcome him as much as the first because afterall, the fresh idea behind the works are gone. What humans do need badly today is a new idea but these 5000 yars seemed to have drained all of the talents away.</p>
<p>Another example are the cellphones. Not only are cellphones smaller and performs better but their designs have changed to suit the taste of the consumers. Why are teenagers changing cellphones every few monthes? It is because that among all of the banal items surrounding us, cellphones are one of the few that have evolved. The hunger of homosapiens to experience a change is greater than ever and they are willing to pay for it but sadly the so called experts failed to produce any.</p>
<p>Thus through the two examples shown, it is not that humans have lost their interest in creativity. The shocking truth is that creativity seemed to have departed from the world. New ideas are less common day by day. Maybe it has to do with limited resources but maybe the final line is that humans have finally ran out of ideas.</p>
<p>phhewww thank God.</p>
