AP English Lit on Thursday

<p>I thought the lady one was parenthetical asides, he kept using hyphens to comment on things</p>

<p>wow, I had pretty much all the same thoughts (well actually ALL the same thoughts) as the ones you listed above, Rain202. How do you remember what you put though? These AP tests are so brain frying.</p>

<p>All in all, I think I did pretty well on the AP English Lit exam since that’s the one I didn’t prepare for at all with anything but the work that was assigned in my English class which I frankly didn’t think would prepare me for the exam.</p>

<p>Reading the poem again just confused me. I give up! I think you’re right, oh well, another question wrong.</p>

<p>Starchwinky was post #243 directed at me?, because I am not positive that I am right. Also, the thing that was not describing her was the asymmetry of the chin right?</p>

<p>Yeah it was asymmetry. The persona seemed to talk about all the flawless features of the lady.</p>

<p>@Arctk3 Unless it was a different question, I thought that question was saying all describe Lady Eustace personality-wise except and the answer had to do with “spoiling the symmetry” of her face. Her mouth being too small had to do with the fact that she didn’t tell the truth, her lock of hair was her calculated seductiveness, her face turning red was illustrated her coldness or something like that ?</p>

<p>The Frog in the Swimming Pool

  1. Blended into his environment
  2. Unattractive and lonely</p>

<p>Marius

  1. “Bless his heart” = ironic interjection
  2. Marius was not a bigot
  3. Death= overexaggerated
  4. Police were not satirized
  5. Muffing = spoiling the opportune moment to die
  6. Had Marius not died, he would have been an inconsequential figure
  7. Marius was seen as a rival</p>

<p>Lady Eustace

  1. Calculated allure
  2. Sir Florian is a victim
  3. Hair accesories
  4. Passage was broken down into categories and within those categories, arguments and explanations
  5. (question about her anger and her thin pink streak of heart)</p>

<p>Ulysses

  1. Worldly attitude
  2. Ajax = latest to gain fame
  3. Usage of similes and metaphors
  4. (question about alms)
  5. (question about time)</p>

<p>Despair

  1. Silent was the answer to the first question
  2. In (I don’t exactly remember the question)</p>

<p>I asked an English Lit major friend the same question and he said silent would be the right answer so I think it’s right. The question asked what hopeless grief was, it was passionless, which is silent. My brain couldn’t process that at the time haha.</p>

<p>The In answer, the question asked in the poem the word that was omitted was what?</p>

<p>It was in cause the line started In days and countries or something like that xD</p>

<p>“Marius was seen as a rival.”
Somebody please explain what question this was.</p>

<p>Haha ok. And for Marius #7 on the list, what was the question about rivals?</p>

<p>@Rain: If your answers are all correct then that is bad news for me. But I seriously doubt that.
@starch: it is silent because there is nothing. Silence=nothingness</p>

<p>I don’t think that was a question…
Pretty sure Marius was seen as a minor talent.
The rival part came from the Achilles passage, though that wasn’t the right answer either there. The right answer there was the current renown something.</p>

<p>I think that one was what did the speaker think of Marius?</p>

<p>I put he was something of an blank painter(fill in the blank) basically i mean that the speaker liked Marius the artist</p>

<p>It thought it was the renown something. I definitively did not put minor talent… If that’s the right answer I’ll be damned.</p>

<p>K. That’s what I thought. Got minor talent as well. Thanks for clearing everything up.</p>

<p>So, how much as everybody missed so far?</p>

<p>Starchywinky’s right. And Descuff, I think all Rain202’s answers there are right, besides the Marius #7.</p>

<p>@Arctk3 OK, thanks</p>

<p>Anyone remember the question in the frog poem about the meaning of the comparison between “let me count the waves” and “let me count the ways”?</p>

<p>The Frog in the Swimming Pool

  1. Blended into his environment
  2. Unattractive and lonely
  3. “Let me count the waves” is compared to “let me count the ways” because it relates common events?</p>

<p>Marius

  1. “Bless his heart” = ironic interjection
  2. Marius was not a bigot
  3. Death= overexaggerated
  4. Police were not satirized
  5. Muffing = spoiling the opportune moment to die
  6. Had Marius not died, he would have been an inconsequential figure
  7. Marius was seen as a minor talent</p>

<p>Lady Eustace

  1. Calculated allure
  2. Sir Florian is a victim
  3. Hair accesories
  4. Passage was broken down into categories and within those categories, arguments and explanations
  5. (question about her anger and her thin pink streak of heart)</p>

<p>Ulysses

  1. Worldly attitude
  2. Ajax = latest to gain fame
  3. Usage of similes and metaphors
  4. (question about alms)
  5. (question about time)</p>

<p>Despair

  1. Silent was the answer to the first question
  2. In was the word omitted</p>

<p>Wow I totally messed that one up, I don’t know why I said “illusory” which couldn’t be more far off. -sigh- also, was Marius a gifted amateur? it was a question where one of the answers was “precursor to modernism”</p>

<p>edit: welp got that one wrong too</p>

<p>I put parenthetical statements for the lady one and I looked it up on line and found this,</p>

<p>A hyphen joins two or more words together (e.g. x-ray, door-to-door) while a dash separates words into parenthetical statements (e.g. She was trapped - no escape was possible).</p>

<p>What did everyone say for the artist and who breathes a sigh of relief? Was it friends or husbands?</p>
