Allegory
It was cold a January night, the wind swept across the air and a pair of twins took their first breaths. The first born was named Molly her hair was golden, and eyes the color of honey. The second born was named Mary; her hair was dark as night, and her eyes were a deep dark brown. Molly was the more dominant twin. She was always in charge; her voice and presence was so distinct know person could compare. Mary over the years grew to be kind, always making sure others were taken care of before her.

Molly wanted to be a lawyer, and make a lot of money at lying…something she had perfected at this point in her life. As the SAT grew near, Molly knew her regular scores would not be good enough for Harvard or Yale. She quickly grew a plan on how she could cheat her way thru the SAT.
