<p>all ill say is thank god for comedy central-(southpark,daily show with john stewart!)
and SNL came in handy</p>
<p>Question, for the argumentative essay, did they want you to literally write the quote and explore it in your essay? I treated it a bit like a better developed SAT essay and just used the idea of the quote and not the literal quote itself.</p>
<p>I used anaphora/the repetition of “sir,” ethos, logos, AND pathos in my second essay. Did anyone else use these examples?</p>
<p>My third essay was based entirely on political cartoons, their eye-opening effect and how there is always some truth to them.</p>
<p>Omitted about 12 MC, mainly because I ran out of time on the last passage 
How badly can this hurt my score? I was pretty confident about the ones that I did answer, and my essays should at least all be in the medium range.</p>
<p>I’m shooting for a 4.</p>
<p>can somebody clear this up- can i say what i used in my essays or not?</p>
<p>go ahead kmigasde, nothing is going to happen</p>

<pre><code> -No! Analyzing the quote is a huge mistake made on the argumentative essay.

<p>Technically, you are not supposed to discuss any answers to FRQs until 48 hours after the test was taken.</p>
<p>Hey thats funny we read a modest proposal also. Does everyone read it?</p>

<p>For the 2nd essay you said the writer had a “polite and considerate tone”</p>
<p>I’m certain that his tone was one of the most scornful one’s I’d ever seen on a collegeboard essay.</p>

<p>Phew. Then I’m pretty sure I did well on that. I used the obvious examples that I’m sure 90% of people included from TV and the like, but I also drew on a lot of writers from all different times, hoping that the numerous literary examples might set me apart a bit from other people.</p>
<p>“Technically” lol. Also “technically” you are not allowed to EVER in your entire life talk about the MC. Will that ever happen? No.</p>
<p>@aphex: It was considerate because of the fact that he used “sir” incessantly and credited Jefferson for doing SOME good and actually told him that the DOI was perfectly written etc. I didn’t feel that it was an attack on Jefferson though, he was trying to keep the conversation respectable.</p>
<p>I wonder what the 3rd essay was lol The crowd seemed to have not liked that one.</p>
<p>i used metonymy-emphasizing how despite the progression from monarchy to roylaty america still has slaves which is ironic<br>
pathos
ethos
logos
i used tht he didnt attack the person rather their beliefs and maintated repect (the opposite of ad hominum)
parrelel structre</p>
<p>Hm, I guess I just read it differently. </p>
<p>I suppose you may be right, but if anyone can remember the man’s name, can we look up his letter online?</p>
<p>“Blankener?” something like that?</p>
<p>I think I did really well. The MC was a breeze. And my essays, I felt, were very strong. I used examples like Dave Chappelle and Russell Peters to show how comedians often relieve racial tensions in society. And I also used Tina Fey to talk about how the item under discussion and politics often go together.</p>
<p>And for the second one, I mentioned the heavy irony and sarcasm he used, among other things.</p>
<p>Benjamin Banneker (sp?)</p>
<p>Edit: Whoops, late.</p>
<p>@tikiman</p>
<p>So you felt there was sarcasm there too?</p>
<p>Definitely. How specifically are we allowed to talk about this? Because I’m itching to, but I don’t know the rules about this</p>
<p>I think that bits and pieces were taken out, but if you look, almost every new paragraph starts with “sir”.</p>
