1. Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou grew up in a slum and had a very low starting point in life. She was at the bottom of society when she was young. She worked as a cook, a tram conductor, a waitress and Dancer. Through hard work, she became a successful singer, actor, playwright and director. She has published 10 best-selling books and been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award many times. In 2011, she was awarded the " Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It works well when writing essay topics such as "hard work (struggle)", "success" and "the impact of changing the environment".

2. Akhmatova

During the great purges of the Soviet Union, the poet Akhmatova’s home was constantly searched. In order to preserve her works, she had no choice but to live like she was living in the Homer era. After writing certain fragments, he recited them to his most reliable friend, who then recited them and 'saved' them in his mind. In this way, relying on the human brain to save them, he finally left behind the collection of poems "Requiem"! When writing about themes such as "cultural inheritance", "trust" and "friendship", this niche character material is very powerful!

3. Seneca and Mother Teresa

The Roman philosopher Seneca said: “Under thatched roofs live free people; under marble and gold live slaves. "If we don't understand the damage that materialism does to a society, it will be difficult for us to understand why Mother Teresa lamented that it was the "poorest place" she had ever visited in her life when she passed by. This passage comes from Xiong Peiyun's "Freedom in the Heights". Although it is niche, it is really a classic! Believe me, if you write about "material and spiritual" themes, if this material can be used in your composition, it will definitely add points to your composition!

4. Solzhenitsyn

Sure enough, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Brodsky's works became very popular in Russia, and he became the pride of Russian literature. This material is suitable for themes such as "classic works", "return (return)", and "patriotism". It is a niche and classic material.
