<p>I was just wondering, when quoting examples and elaborating on them in the essay, will an example which has greater relation to USA/internationally known give a better impression than smaller ones? I am an international student, and I don’t know much about U.S. history. But I’m quite comfortable with small historical events that happened elsewhere in the world. But I’m afraid they may be too specific and obscure that the marker won’t know them at all, but would that affect the marker’s impression (and therefore, marks) in any way?</p>

<p>Good question. I was curious about that as well.</p>
