Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Mine was about inconsitent ideas...i talked about John Kerry, used and example of a lawyer and used example of relationship with others</p>

2

<p>I put that changes in behavior equals adaptations to environment and how that's obviously important to survival (had an algae and a human example). </p>

<p>And also how this guy (Victor Frankl) who wrote this pretty famous book about life in a concentration camp said that his changed views on suffering and meaning of life and whatnot helped him live or whatever. </p>

<p>what was ur essay about</p>

4

<p>my essay is =it is best not to change our ideas, thoughts, behaviors</p>

<p>i disagreed and said that change is for the best, i used a personal experience and herbert hoover during the Great depression</p>

5

<p>Example 1: USFG slavery (change=good)
Example 2: USFG internment camps in WWII (hypocrisy=bad)
Example 3: Workplace--other religions (flexibility/openness=good)
Example 4: Workplace--boss' hypocrisy (hypocrisy=bad)</p>

<p>I believe if it's about change, then you need a balance. There is bad, sudden, hypocritical change, and there is good, flexible, liberal change.</p>

6

<p>4 examples?! I only used 2! One personal, one literature.</p>

7

<p>Well, I think it was basically two examples, but both examples reflected the good and bad sides of changing ideas etc.</p>

8

<p>Mine was about what motivates people. I used Macbeth, J.P. Morgan and Tateh from Ragtime.</p>

9

<p>Inconsistency/Change essay.</p>

<p>Examples were both instances where change should have been used:
- Napoleon's march to Moscow
- The Bundren's insistence on fording the river in As I Lay Dying.</p>

<p>I'd rate it as one of the easier to support prompts.</p>

10

<p>anyone got the essay that is about limit on ability to change life?</p>

11

<p>^ I did. I said it was unlimited.</p>

<p>Example 1: Esther Greenwood of The Bell Jar<a href="suicidal%20person">/u</a>
Example 2: WWII and the SS leaders
Example 3: FDR's New Plan</p>

12

<p>Mine was about changing behaviors/opinons.
I said you should change, because of the changes that occurr to ourselves and society over time. And that sometimes it is imperitive to change/compromise our beliefs in order to attain our goals.</p>

<p>Example 1: Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations. How he failed to compromise and be more flexible, resulting in loss of his dream</p>

<p>Example 2: How growing up I always accepted my parents ideals and opinions as my own but once i became more mature and learned things for myself, i began to develop my own views on life.</p>

13

<p>is it best not to change our ideas, opinions, or behaviors?</p>

<p>no, it is best to change our ideas, opinions, or behaviors</p>

<ol>
<li><p>example 1: WWI and Treaty of Versailles, how Germany had to change its behaviors and such...also with League of Nations how the countries had to talk out differences instead of starting a war</p></li>
<li><p>example 2: MLK Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" Speech that urged America to change its ideas, opinions, and behaviors concerning African Americans and other minority groups</p></li>
