What about Aesop's fables. I think there are many morals that are in accordance with almost all essay topics. Are fables solid enough to use as examples in an SAT essay?

@Eternamisa I would use Aesop's fables because arent they a literary classic...I mean if we can use made up personal experiences we should be able to use fables...

I see that Celebrity and Heroism are quite popular prompt topics. If the question is something along "Should we admire celebrities" or "Should we admire heroes or celebrities", which examples do you suggest?

Macbeth: You should never listen to the advice of others especially your wife.

Louis Pasteur: A lot of his family died due to harmful bacteria so then he decided to try to never let anyone suffer a lose from disease again.

Is the Arab Spring too controversial to use as an example? What about Newtown and gun control/god in the classroom/mental health or is it still too fresh?

I suspect the graders like at least one personal example, not all literature of historical. JMO.
