<p>mine was on fame and happiness?</p>
<p>I made up a book and talked about the character accumalating a large amount of money.</p>
<p>I couldn't think of Andrew Carnigie's name until I closed the book.</p>
<p>I had the fame one.</p>
<p>I wrote about a UPenn study, Lindsay Lohan, and Candide. haha</p>
<p>Mine was about individuals copying each other and it its good for society.</p>
<p>Mine:</p>
<ol>
<li>John F. Kennedy</li>
<li>The Beatles (John Lennon)</li>
<li>Julius Caesar</li>
</ol>
<p>Kaznack; to what topic? seems there were several...</p>
<p>If it's okay now...the fame/happiness one.</p>
<p>Can we make a list of the prompts? </p>
<ol>
<li>Not conforming to society</li>
</ol>
<p>I think there's usually 4</p>
<p>I had whether fame brought happiness, and I used The Great Gatsby, a fake quote from Shirley Temple, and modern tabloids.</p>
<p>Fame:
Puritans in early colonial America
Main character from Invisible Man</p>
<p>Only 2 examples but entire 2 pages; is that okay?</p>
<p>I had fame, and I used Great Gatsby about how he wasn't happy with his fame, and also To Kill a mockingbird about how Boo Radley was content with not being famous or something. Seems liek a bad example now.</p>
<p>used Galileo and Ronald Reagan(his economic strategy)</p>
<p>Heh, I wrote two pages and used these two examples:</p>
<p>1) Made up something about fame and unhappiness in "The Red Badge of Courage." (It was pretty well weaved).</p>
<p>2) Made up something about how Robin Williams having a interview on MTV and telling people how he sometimes hated fame and wanted privacy for happiness or something.</p>
<p>Lol, cheers! :)</p>
<p>I talked about Antony from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, and in the process referenced Plutarch's Lives, and Jung's theory of archetypes :]</p>
<p>Is the fact that I only used one very well-developed example going to be detrimental? (I also only wrote a page and a half, but I took a while to write it because I selected the words that I used very carefully)</p>
<p>I used Marquis De Sade/120 Days of Sodom, Dostoevsky/Raskolnikov, and Ernest Hemingway....</p>
<p>Fame does not lead to happiness
1. Great Gatsby
2. Invisible Man...Ralph Ellison</p>
<p>I had fame. I made up a book about how a man tries to become famous, but ends up a drug addict. Then I talked about Anne Boleyn and how her fame ultimately caused her death. And then I made up a personal ex. about a friend who after becoming a well known musician in my city loses all his friends because of his excessive pride.</p>
<p>My question was about the conforming w/ society.
I used Lord of the Flies and 1960s American CounterRevolution</p>
<p>my essay started out neat and got really messy towards the end.. haha</p>
<p>Macbeth- needed to kill to stay famous
King Lear- daughter's became jealous of his fame
Personal example- how peers became overly critical once i won an election</p>
<p>Are these on topic?</p>
<p>Celebrity Rehab (the TV show), Heath Ledger's death, and Greta Garbo (or as I spelled it, "Garboe". She was a famous French actress who left society and became a hermit).</p>
