My son wrote this essay for the SAT two years ago. He got a score of 2 out of 12. I like the essay. I think he should have gotten a better score, but then they are not looking for original thinking in the SAT.
For those of you having a hard time making out the words, I have transcribed the text as best I could:
The only hero there ever was worth celebrating is Linarius, the greatest spellsword this world has ever known; he battled the great Warlock Norakamorth on top of the fiery mountain to save our people. For centuries he has watched over us.Update January 2017 replaced missing image.
These kind of heroes are worth having, for without their awesome powers, we would all be in the Warlock's hellish kingdom, serving as concubines to the great evil one. Heroes are glory-hogs, even Linarius only did what he did for fame. He honestly doesn't care if we live or not. But, enough pish-posh, I'd rather write amazing tales of drunk, dragonslaying womanizing bloodknights then go off and write a load of bullcrap about heroes.
