<p>OK the biggest problem I have with the SAT Writing is brainstorming for proofs. What are your favorite evidence (from literature, history, current events) to use for the SAT Writing essay? I’ll start</p>
<p>Literature: 1984</p>
<p>Literature: 1984 & Shakespeare & Shaw
Society and Sociology: Surverys made by Royal Societies (Real & Fictional) :)</p>
<p>thanks bump :)</p>
<p>I use 1984 too!</p>
<p>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</p>
<p>For literature, All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren is a great one. I’ve been able to find an example from it for every SAT essay prompt I’ve ever looked at(which is about 7-8 now).</p>
<p>wat kind of ideas do u draw from 1984? Honesty?</p>
<p>Literature : 1984, Great Gatsby, or just random authors I know about like Joyce, Shakespeare, Etc… You can make bio’s up so thats usually something I incorporate.</p>
<p>Any history ones? :)</p>
<p>One flew over a Cuckoo’s Nest works for me. Still, I can’t remember the main charecters name (lol) I always refer to him as the protagonist. I suppose I should figure it out before the actual Sat lol.</p>
<p>sharkbite: I’m guessing your talking about Mcmurphy…RP MCmurcphy that is. lol, that is one awesome book</p>
<p>The Scarlet Letter, Cyrano
WWI/II</p>
<p>Esp. WWII …Hitler, Stalin etc etc amlost always works. For postitive things, Mahatma Gandhi or Helen Keller works. I usually use historical evidences not from literature</p>
<p>oedipus rex and the odyssey sometimes</p>
<p>“Grape of Wrath” and “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”</p>
