If you took the October 2007 SAT Reasoning Test, you would have been given one of the essay prompts below:
Prompt 1

A person does not simply receive his or her identity. Identity is much more than the name or features one is born with. True identity is something people must create for themselves by making choices that are significant and that require a courageous commitment in the face of challenges. Identity means having ideas and values that one lives by.
Adapted from Thomas Merton, Contemplation in a World of Action
Assignment:

Prompt 2

Everyone wants to create something new, but at best we can hope only to repeat or imitate what has already been done.

Can people ever be truly original? 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.
