Why do we need to mention literature in our essays? I didn't 12 both times.

1

<p>I don’t get what’s the importance of incorporating literature into one’s essay</p>

<p>both of my essays were answered with some BS personal experience/historical fact that I make up on the spot</p>

<p>and i support my ideas from that</p>

<p>I don’t really see a point of incorporating literature to the essay</p>

2

<p>You got 12s both times? Would you mind sending me an image of your essay just for reference?</p>

3

<p>me too. Can you please send your essay, I want to read how you presented your BS personal examples. I’m a bit weak on examples and I need to apply your method if I’m desperate at that moment.</p>

4

<p>Use punctuation please. Did you or did you not get 12’s?</p>

5

<p>If you didn’t and still got 12’s, stop complaining. It didn’t say you had to incorporate literature, only that it might be a good idea to.</p>

6

<p>How did you get 12s both times. I took the SAT and got a 2250, but I could never get a twelve for the sake of me. In the two times that took the SAT, I got 11s for the essays. Can you pm me your essays?</p>

7

<p>Is this a real question or a not-so-subtle way to brag about your scores? :|</p>

8

<p>Due to the way you wrote the title of this thread…I’m assuming you bombed the grammar section.</p>

<p>send me ur essays pls</p>

10

<p>lol</p>

<p>i made a mistake</p>

<p>i got a 12 both times</p>

<p>lol i got 700+ in writing both times</p>

<p>i got a 36 in ACT English too</p>

11

<p>I used Rousseau’s Discourse on the Arts and Sciences, Nietzsche in general, Marx’s Manuscripts of 1844, and Gramsci’s concept of cultural hegemony. I also had a pretty nifty conclusion and intro, so I’m hoping for at least an 8.</p>

12

<p>should you really listen to someone who is a Rastafarian?</p>

13

<p>You don’t NEED literature examples to get a 12. But because most graders are English teachers, they may have a subconsicious bias to up one’s score if they used a good literary example. That being said, it is probably safe to use at least one literature example. The other(s) can be historical/personal. I got an 11 using two historical but I got a 12 using one literary and two historical.</p>

<p>Lol, must have been an earth-shattering essay to get a 12 with that kind of grammar!</p>
