<p>Mine were Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein, and George Lucas.</p>
<p>I made a HORRIBLE one up about bullies and teenagers. Then I wrote about the Plessy vs. Ferguson segregation case.</p>
<p>how did you tie in those with creativity?....everyone had same essay right?</p>
<p>I took the prompt's Columbus for history, the Impressionists for art, The Crucible for literature.</p>
<p>Oh boy, we had different essays. Mine was about majority rule as a good or poor guide.</p>
<p>creativity:</p>
<p>frank lloyd wright
hemingway as a representative of the post world war one age</p>
<p>majority rule:</p>
<p>Harry Potter (I swear, the fifth book works really well haha)
World War II</p>
<p>Damn you, tickle. :(
I MISSED SUCH A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!1111ONE!!</p>
<p>lol, i thought of harry potter too. but alas, i used Copernicus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</p>
<p>Louis XIV and the Second French Revolution. Extending the vote in the US, Germany, and Russia during the 19th century.</p>
<p>i used...</p>
<ol>
<li>The scientific philosopher Thomas Kuhn who specialized in epistemology (the nature of truth) and proposed the idea of a "strong program" where the most influential members of society dictate what is truth and I tied this into the Roman Catholic Church and Galileo, saying that the most influential people, who influence the thoughts of the majority, are often wrong</li>
<li>Slavery in Southern Society in Huckleberry Finn and how the majority is often an ethically poor guide</li>
</ol>
<p>Creativity:</p>
<p>the modern world's attitude towards it in the arts as compared to the Renaissance in the past and Bradbury's in F451 in the possible future</p>
<p>bah hope it wasn't too specific</p>
<p>majority, I used nazi germany, alexander hamilton, and h.d.t.'s civil disobediance.</p>
<p>"Bradbury's in F451 in the possible future"</p>
<p>I can't believe I didn't think of that during the test! (I know you used it for the creativity essay, but it would've worked with the majority one too.) I used that in a bunch of practice ones, it fits so well, and I love the book.</p>
<p>majority rule - holocust, civil rights, darwin</p>
<p>Hey Fatcookie, wouldn't Darwin generally go against majority rule. His ideas regarding natural selection were at best accepted by only the elite when his Orgin of Species was published in 1849. Furthermore, when he attmepted to extrapolate his findings onto humans 20 years later, wasn't that regarded as unpopular until 20 years ago?</p>
<p>what was the question for that essay again? I don't remember.</p>
<p>If majority rule is good or bad, in more words</p>
<p>"Is creativity neccessary in the world today?"</p>
<ul>
<li>Without creativity, literature would be dull & repetive; after all, J.K. Rowling is different from William Shakespeare.</li>
<li>There would be no scientific theories without creativity, like Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</li>
<li>Without creativity, history repeats itself, like Hitler repeating Napoleon's mistake of invading USSR & Bush's war on Iraq emulating the war with Vietnam.</li>
</ul>
<p>no way...that one sounds way easier than the ghey a$$ creativity!</p>
