<p>I have a lot of experience with SAT type essays where you basically take a side and support it with literature examples or even historical, etc…but I dont have much experience with ACT essays besides reading sample essays, yet i still find it hard to conjure up my own ideas without aid from peeking at the actual.</p>
<ol>
<li> Does being ethical make it hard to be successful? [from march 2009, SAT]</li>
</ol>
<p>For this, I’d probably use Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman and All My Sons as an example and say Yes, being ethical makes it hard to be successful and give a bunch of reasons why non-ethical people are successful.</p>
<p>Now, an ACT essay:</p>
<p>In your opinion, should high schools start later in the morning? [Paraphrased version of April 201-]</p>
<p>How would one approach this and support it with examples from literature, history, etc.? or is there another way?</p>
