Pre-AP English II: Timed Expository Writing (Tienanmen Square)

Read the information in the box below.

In 1989, when the Chinese government declared a protest in Tienanmen Square illegal, one man chose to stand in front of a column of tanks to stop them from advancing on the protesters.

Although many people obey all laws, some people choose to disobey those they feel are unjust. Think carefully about this statement.

Write an essay explaining whether people should follow the law regardless of whether they feel the law is right or wrong.

Be sure to —
  • clearly state your thesis
  • organize and develop your ideas effectively
  • choose your words carefully
  • edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling

Maximum length: 26 lines
