"Although it displays a solid vocabulary, Mr. Hemingway's essay lacks specific examples and clear topic sentences." -- How would Shakespeare, Gertrude Stein, and other literary giants do on the SAT essay section? (If you, like me, matriculated college before the mid-90's, you were mercifully exempt from this, heh heh.) Probably not too well -- more proof that genius is essentially anti-authoritarian, or that Americans are slavishly teaching to the test?
