Anyhow, for the document-based essay, the prompt was to argue for or against the abolishment of the penny. It seemed really silly for an essay topic, and a bunch of people started laughing after seeing it. What was really funny was the last document: some scanned images of pennies, heads and tails. I was just wondering how someone would even use that source to support their argument.
One of the sources was about some internet group that advocated for the “retirement of the penny”, and it was also pretty silly. There was some guy named Jeff Gore who was like “pennies waste valuable time,” yet spends his time creating a site and coming up with these calculations for how much time and money are wasted yearly by pennies, which apparently comes to $10 billion a year. The argument he makes can be found on the site (scroll all the way down), word-for-word as it was seen on the AP exam. It’s just really silly, and although pennies are annoying, I don’t like that guy’s reasoning. Anyway, I thought I wrote a pretty good essay for that prompt. I really liked it, despite how silly it was (I kinda made fun of that Jeff Gore guy a bit).
Oh well, AP exams are over for me now, which is nice. Next year, I have four AP exams to look forward to (statistics, calculus, physics, English literature). Greeeeat.
I guess I’ll update create.swf tomorrow. If you have any suggestions for new items, accessories, backgrounds, etc, and character, that’d be nice.
Edit: Oh yeah, and here’s a Touhou SRPG concept by Fawkes using characters from create.swf. Yay.
