<p>What was the title? I completely missed that.</p>
<p>nvm, when u read the whole essay it's pretty clear that he meant every word he said.</p>
<p>wow for once in ap language it was good to take it straightforwardly.</p>
<p>So did I...</p>
<p>ah. hopefully i can pull off a 5... i'll be happier than getting a >2250 SAT.</p>
<p>Where can you find the essay?</p>
<p>spectrum, i believe the ap rubric says if it's a good essay but misses the boat, you get a max 4</p>
<p>I think we should all take a few days break from this site and come back in two days to legally discuss the prompt. All this talk is freaking us out when maybe we don't need to be so worried.</p>
<p>"This scoring guide will be useful for most of the papers you read. If it seems inappropriate for a specific paper, ask your Table Leader for assistance. Always show your Table Leader books that seem to have no response or that contain responses that seem unrelated to the question. Do nto assign a score of 0 or-without this consultation.</p>
<p>"Your score should reflect your judgment of the paper's quality as a whole..."</p>
<p>ARG, hopefully my grader will be in a great mood (highly unlikely though)</p>
<p>BTW, skydyed, i think you only get a 2 if you miss the boat...</p>
<p>shanianwang: we are allowed to discuss any topics in general. And I believe I have not revealed anything specific.</p>
<p>haha my bad. i was just trying to mremeber what my teacher discussed in class. guess i wasn't listening to well. gl on getting a liberal grader</p>
<p>^ What was the title of the second essay?</p>
<p>Yeah he was for it. I wrote about how he used one huge sentence for most of his essay and how there was a lot of compare and contrast in it. I wrote about how even though he was for money he was exaggerating it because he wrote that you will be an exile of society or something like that. I also wrote zeugma because the long sentence started off with a few words which were implied in the rest of the sentence but were not stated. I also wrote that cold comfort was an oxymoron... not too sure about that one. I dont think anyone finds comfort in something thats cold. Overall i think i did good on that one (6-8 prolly) and that was my worst essay i think. My first one was really good (pink flamingos rule!!!) and my last one just owned... like i actually wept because of its beauty.</p>
<p>MC was easier then expected. Overall - 4 probably.</p>
<p>You mean for the whole title or that he was for that one word in the title?</p>
<p>Plus if you can pull 8s on all your essays, you're set for a 5 as long as you don't bomb the multiple choice.</p>
<p>Ahhhh, I keep coming back and reading this thread...</p>
<p>yes my problems are very addictive :)</p>
<p>yeah, i'm hoping for 8s on the other two, and i think I got a 45 on the MC. So I REALLY need a 5+ on the 2nd one... Oh god please be holistic, grader</p>
<p>Quite addictive.</p>
<p>i'm just hoping for a THREE overall b/c my essays were um way below my best</p>
<p>guys calm down, the curve for this test is always really high. if most of us missed the second essay question (which none of us really know right now) then the curve will make up for it. the seniors at my school last year averaged a 4 with quite a few 5's as well on the test and they all said they did "ok" on it.</p>
<p>actually it seems that he was more against than form money...while realizing its importance he also listed a lot more negatives that come with the attainment of money</p>
<p>okay the second essay was clearly the hardest essay of the day. I took it straightforward, with the first sentence being a 'waiver' before his real thoughts began.</p>
<p>i talked about the parallel construction, use of overstatement, etc.</p>
<p>also, I made a really interesting connection that everyone else I talked to about it said I was crazy for........</p>
<p>I said the entire passage was an allusion of his own life..... idk where I got that, it just felt like it.</p>
<p>many of the events that he wrote about were way too specific to be random...... I thought that he was writing about what he went through life, with him going through each event.... and maybe thinking about what will happen once he passed on.</p>
<p>idk..... i'm hopin for a 4, a 3 will be like meh, whatev.</p>
