<p>Are essays that contain generic examples (MLK, Ghandi, and Hitler) subject to lower grades??? Those were my 3 examples, the format was perfect though. Thesis at the begining of the first paragraph and reiterated at the begining of the last paragraph… the essay was slightly longer than a page and 1/2.</p>
<p>They don’t take off for generic examples necessarily. However, you should be concerned you used three examples, yet only wrote a page and a half.</p>
<p>Each example is supposed to be a paragraph and be well developed. It might feel a little contrived if you shove in three examples that don’t relate well.</p>
<p>For example, why is Hitler an example next to Ghandi?</p>
<p>****, first of all I spelt it incorrectly on the exam (as well as here). Its Gandhi. how bad is THAT? The international essay was "should people be judged by what they do (occupation) or who they are? sooo yeah…</p>
<p>That’s honestly fine - they judge more about content and substance than a little mistake like that.</p>
