<p>Well, there are threads with pages and pages of answers to the SAT…</p>
<p>@Rockn</p>
<p>Yeah but reading this…it really appears the sir’s were sarcastic…even chiding…</p>
<p>Lol, good point. Anyways, yeah, the thing was basically oozing of sarcasm. He was clearly a very smart writer. The repetition of “sir” and the hypocrisies he highlighted under a veil of respect and humility were the main tip offs, I felt.</p>
<p>@tiki</p>
<p>Yeah that’s exactly what I talked about…in fact I may have said hypocrisy/contradictions too many times…</p>
<p>Oh well, I just hope the CB readers are in a great mood when they read my essays…Only got about a page and a half for the last one =</p>
<p>You could say that sir was repetitive and sarcastic, but I feel like it would also be appropriate to consider “sir” on a historical standpoint. After all, he was a black man in early America, talking probably to the most famous man in America at the time (aside from maybe GW) chances are he is going to show alot of respect.</p>
<p>but, Sir, how pitiable is it to reflect, that although you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of Mankind, and of his equal and impartial distribution of these rights and privileges, which he hath conferred upon them, that you should at the same time counteract his mercies, in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren, under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the same time be found guilty of that most criminal act, which you professedly detested in others, with respect to yourselves.</p>
<p>Very long quote I know…but I think this best shows his accusatory/scornful tone.</p>
<p>I mean he actually says “you should be…found guilty of that most criminal act”</p>
<p>Yeah, but it seemed to me that he was more so trying to be respectable in order to be harsh without being too harsh. He even acknowledges Jefferson here:</p>
<p>“Here, Sir, was a time in which your tender feelings for your selves engaged you thus to declare, you were then impressed with proper ideas of the great valuation of liberty, and the free possession of those blessings to which you were entitled by nature.”</p>
<p>edit: meh… even though it didn’t reference the test, im too paranoid to leave it. i’ll post my stuff on friday :)</p>
<p>I wish the best scores for all of you, All 9’s! Haha, but I think the curve may be pretty harsh because it was slightly easy. I don’t want to wait until Julyyyyyy!</p>
<p>Just a fun fact about the FRQ3…
there were 95 soft ‘s’ sounds 
it was CRAZY.</p>
<p>ahh i loved this exam! it was sooo much easier than all the practice exams that my teacher made my class do. and frq3 was indeed much fun! watching snl really does pay off haha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh my gosh i did! xD cuz that was the only one i could think of…I didn’t like this frq.</p>
<p>The multi. choice was easier than the practice tests i had in class, so i was happy about that. </p>
<p>What would you need on your multi choice to get a 3 if your essays were: 5,5,5</p>
<p>i never got any practice with this test ever before yesterday when i picked up a kaplan book from my library</p>
<p>no MC, not essay, nothing</p>
<p>For those of you that are saying that he’s sarcastic, you would have had to do a LOT of digging to support that. It’s the freaking 18th century. Black men said sir. He was doing it out of respect. He definitely pointed out the hypocrisy of TJ though. </p>
<p>And yeah. I also cited A Modest Proposal for the argument. And The Daily Show.</p>
<p>Persuasive: Used political cartoons (specifically cartoons of McCain and Bush), and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.</p>
<p>My score is at jeopardy anyways, so long hair don’t care. </p>
<p>I thought about using Swift, but instead used Horace Miners “Body Rituals Among the Nacierma” - one of my favorites this year. Though for the life of me I couldn’t remember Miners’ name.
I also got to talk about Sam Kinison, which was AWESOME . </p>
<p>and I drew a hand turkey on the front of my MC booklet, hahha.</p>
<p>I guess it helps that I am insanely passionate about the issue raised in the synthesis essay – that is about the ONLY topic they could have chosen for me where they basically handed me a 9 off the bat. I argued + and I had rebuttals for every single - argument =D</p>
<p>I briefly talked about childhood obesity in the synthesis hahaa. Really briefly, like one sentence, then linked it to the topic.</p>
<p>I thought this one would be waaay harder than my AP Art History but it was easier… my Art History one was freakishly hard…</p>
<p>For the argument all my friends showed a bunch of examples but i only gave two examples from my personal experience and related that to the topic.</p>
<p>is that ok? I hope i didn’t screw this up.</p>
<p>Were they relating to (INSERT ESSAY TOPIC HERE) (avoiding so I don’t get in trouble for talking about essays.)?</p>
