<p>Ethan Frome and a personal anecdote.</p>
<p>Anthem (Ayn Rand), Brave New World, and Holden Caulfield (though this one was underdeveloped b/c of lack of space). Hoping for 11</p>
<p>i supported opposites attract and used:</p>
<p>civil rights movement (mlk jr and malcolm x alike and didnt get along)
Cuban Missile Crisis (JFK and Kruchev coming to compromise with each other aside from their differences)
Camp David Accords (jimmy carter brought egyptian and israeli leaders (very different) together and they formed a friendly bond)</p>
<p>Henry David Thoreau, The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, Math/Science Olympiads (USAMO, etc.)</p>
<p>coollege - no kidding!!!</p>
<p>Holden from Catcher, Science Olympiad, Henry DAvid thoreau</p>
<p>can someone whose gotten 10+ on an essay before validate my examples please? lol</p>
<p>Again took position of opposites attract. (i used solid intro with strong thesis and 3 sentence conclusion touching last line) i just want 10+ on it
civil rights movement (mlk jr and malcolm x alike and didnt get along)
Cuban Missile Crisis (JFK and Kruchev coming to compromise with each other aside from their differences)
Camp David Accords (jimmy carter brought egyptian and israeli leaders (very different) together and they formed a friendly bond)</p>
<p>I said cliques in society and school for my anecdote, political parties for historical, and literary movements (i.e. realism) for literature. I think I did okay but I wish I had time to do a refutation paragraph :/</p>
<p>Similars attract => Passage to India and Korean Homogeneity. Haha =]</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No way! I used that for my thesis as well!!! hahahaha</p>
<p>Slavery in the American South
Hester Prynne in the Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>Went into detail on both, but only had a one sentence conclusion.</p>
<p>I talked about my personal experience and invented an author named Wilhelm Kurtz and a novel named “The Raven”… I hope they don’t look that up on the internet or something… I had that question about courageousness on the international SAT.</p>
<p>^lol, that amuses me.</p>
<p>i talked about how during Washington administration he surrounded himself w/ people of various beliefs and then i talked about Holden’s relationship with phoebe from catcher in the rye</p>
<p>i used a lot of specific names for the history example, do you guys think that will add extra “value” to my essay?</p>
<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I think I made a major mistake. </p>
<p>Okay, I took the position that people get along best with those with whom commonality is shared, citing clubs and organizations, and the stereotypical high school hierarchy as evidence. Looking back, however, the formation of clubs doesn’t necessarily mean people cooperate best with those who are “like” them. </p>
<p>Further, I fear I may have focused too much on how people gravitate towards people in whom they see a certain part of themselves… The question wasn’t really asking “are people attracted towards people they have things in common with?”, but rather “do people get along best with others who are similar or different?” </p>
<p>Any thoughts? </p>
<p>Automatic zero?</p>
<p>dude, i think I made a mistake. the question was:
do people tend to get along better with people who are different than themselves or similar?
i wrote: “People do not tend to get along better with people who are different than themselves”.
man i am so scared…
my essay was about how ralph and jack didn’t get along because of their different views and ****. and how in “1984”, winston smith and the Party had different views and how Winston didn’t think the Party was going the right thing so there was a conflict there.
and then the North versus the South in the american civil war over the views of slavery.</p>
<p>oh ****, i am so scared and nervous now…but in a way, my essay did answer the question…albeit in a different way…</p>
