<p>The Sat classes that i’m taking in right now says that it is more likely that a person will get a good grade on the essay if one writes a five paragraph.
Well, for me it takes much more longer to think of three examples to support my stance thus 25 minutes is way too short to make a 5 paragraph essay. What do you think about 4 paragraph essays? </p>
<p>Also, can anyone please grade my essay, because i’m starting to doubt my Sat class’s essay grading. It seems like their just giving out nines when one writes a five paragraph essay and an eight if one writes a four paragraph essay…</p>
<p>: prompt: Does true learning only occur when we experience difficulties? </p>
<p>True learning only occurs when we face adversities because by facing such wall of hardship, one can have an oppurtunity to look back on one’s life and fix any foremr misconceptions. Such aspects of true learning are conveyed in various examples in our lives as in Muhammad Ali and Marguarite of “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings”.
Initially, Muhammad Ali serves as a firm example of how true learning can only be achieved by adversities by finding his purpose and a new view of his religion through Parkinson’s disease. Muhammad Ali had a rather successful life before he faced his adversity. He won a gold medal in the olympics and also was a heavy weight boxing champion. However, blinded by such secular success, Ali became to neglect his purpose of life, in which he set at the age of 12. His purpose was to help and serve the inferior such as racially discriminated people and the poor. In fact, it was Parkinson’s disease that allowed Ali to be away from his only passion, what became his life, boxing. After being seperated from boxing, Ali was able to view the world in a more genuine view, the view he had when he was 12. Also, by having a genuine view of the world, Ali was able to seek his religious pursuits more profoundly, another thing he became to neglect throughout life. Therefore, Ali demonsstrates how difficulties lead to one’s true learning b y allowing one to fix one’s former misconceptions.
In literature, Marguarite of “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” also manifests for that true learning occurs only by experiencing hardships that taught her true love and the reality of the world through the adversity of sexual assault. The young Marguarite dressed up in front of the mirror and acted as if she were a white girl. She was that immature. She knew nothing of the world. To this genuine girl, the superficial love shown by Mr. Freemen, her stepfather, was obviously confounding. Thus, when she was sexually assaulted by Mr. Freemen, her perception of the world being all easy and full of love was shattered. Now looking back upon herself with her new perception, Marguarite was able to realize what the reality of the world is and was able to differentiate between calculated love and genuine love. She now learend that the world is cruel and unyielding and that ture love only comes from people that truely care about her.
In essence, true learning can only be acheived by experiencing difficulties because it gives one an opportunity to look back upon one’s misconceptiosn and fix it as Ali did by finding his purpsoe of life and as Marguarite learned of ture love and the reality of life.</p>
