SAT essay
Ok this is the essay I wrote for my SAT. Bare with me it took 15 minutes to write. I did not edit it afterward and this is exactly how it appeared on the test.
Assignment: Does the success of a community--whether it is a class, a team, a family, a nation, or any other group--depend upon people's willingness to limit their personal interests? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
You can never be completly free. You will always have to make a sacrfice for greater good. Every person wants something different in life. I want to be a musician and you may want to retire, but the world has enough bad music and if you retired who would grade this test? Sometimes you can't have what you want so you give up your freedom and do what you have to do to make the world a better place.
Compromise is the very princible of Democracy. A government for the people controlled by the people, but because in america there are rich people and poor people, smart people and dumb people, blind people and deaf people and tall people and short people, we have to compromise to best suit everyone. Wither its tax cuts for the rich, cutting school funding, renigging on healthcare or making stilts we must accept the choices our goverenment makes blindly believing that they have our best interests in mind.
Anyone that has read Animal Farm by George Orwell (or Eric Blair if you like exposing secert identities) you would know the quote "All animals were created equal, some are more equal than others" I'm not sure but I think Orwell meant that as an allagory for people (he is rather clever like that). I digress the animals of the farm decided they want freedom from humans so they overthrew them. Well then the pigs, as smart as ther are,
take over and all is dandy. Untill they become the very thing the overthrew, no they didn't become real boys Gipedo, They became totalitarian megalomanacs and the other animals didn't realize their rights were still being impended. Obviously that Qu-da-tee (Spelling? the french stink.) didn't work and everything again went sour.
Your rights will always be impended, you will have your freedomt stripped from you and be forced to read really bad SAT essays just to pay the bills, but its worth it to live in a great country like America!...right?
