<p>The PROMPT was :
“does progress or improvement usually involve setbacks or a significant problem?”</p>
<p>My THESIS:
Improvement does involve problems in that from major setbacks and problems, one is able to re-assess and execute properly to adapt and improve for the better of a future.
(setbacks->improvement)</p>
<p>Examples:
I talked about how setbacks Russia sustained during WW1 turned the society into a poverty stricken land with destroyed economy, WHICH allowed Lenin to gain popularity and form Marxist regime, bringing relief and economic equality with his NEP and disintegration of social stratification. (setback->improvement for society)</p>
<p>AND: I talked about how despite Pip in Great Expectations advanced through the social hierarchy, he faced a personal crisis of wealthiness (setback), which enabled him to adapt and IMPROVE his identity for the future. (setback-> improvement for personal growth)</p>
<p>HOWEVER few people have been criticizing me saying that I WROTE OFF TOPIC, and should have been talking about how (improvement->setback). People review the original prompt and my examples and update me on your opinions whether this essay is valid. (I used up all 2 pages of the essay)</p>
<p>THIS IS A TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE BECAUSE IF MAJORITY BELIEVES MY ESSAY IS NOT VALID AND TOO OFF-TOPIC I HAVE TO CANCEL IT IN 2 DAYS. </p>
<p>PLEASE HELP! I"VE BEEN DYING THESE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS :(</p>
