AP English Lit on Thursday

<p>For the Lady Eustace passage, I remember putting an answer down for the parallelism between each description, as the all started with the same phrase, but I don’t remember for what question.</p>

<p>@Shaq395 That’s what I had as well! It was something about how the passage was structured.</p>

<p>Rain- I hope so too! I rechecked all of mine and I felt pretty confident in them. I think we’re on route for at least a four, praying the essays are good. What did you say about the antecedent question for the Marius passage? I said ladies and lads because it seemed that was the only subject that didn’t have a verb but my class was torn between that and old friends</p>

<p>bruceparklee- yes that was the answer, and the syllables didn’t even line up either.
Rain202- I thought that question was the one with the parenthetical statements listed as the answer.</p>

<p>The touch of nature- I thought it was a quality common to all people? It said that the touch of nature made everyone kin.</p>

<p>NRNitz1, this was discussed many times and we’ve concluded that the answer was old friends. Ladies and lads refers to the bar friends.
Starchywinky- I said that the touch of nature is a quality common to all people with the same reasoning.</p>

<p>I believe I said ladies and lads as well.</p>

<p>Was the regular meter question a listing and was it asking for everything EXCEPT something?</p>

<p>Wait for the “Her thin pink streak of heart indicated” question, why wouldn’t the answer be coldness? because they mentioned what little blood they had in her heart which I immediately said as coldness. I don’t even remember contrived anger as an answer…</p>

<p>Also what did “vigor of bone” mean?</p>

<p>I’d have to read that stupid 10- line sentence again to figure if it was old friends or ladies and lads.</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
  4. Doesn’t contain regular meter</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
  8. Friends were relieved by his death
  9. Antecedent = ladies and lads?</p>

<p>Lady Eustace

  1. Calculated allure
  2. Sir Florian is a victim
  3. Hair accesories
  4. Passage was broken down into parenthetical statements
  5. Her thin pink streak of heart indicated her contrived anger
  6. Sir Florian was bewitched by her</p>

<p>Ulysses

  1. Worldly attitude
  2. Ajax = latest to gain fame
  3. Usage of similes and metaphors
  4. (question about alms)
  5. Time was the most discussed
  6. The gods’ recognition was due to gained renown
  7. One has to constantly perform deeds to gain recognition</p>

<p>Despair

  1. Silent was the answer to the first question

<p>[The</a> Wicked Pavilion - Dawn Powell - Google Books](<a href=“The Wicked Pavilion - Dawn Powell - Google Books”>The Wicked Pavilion - Dawn Powell - Google Books)
The “could breathe easier” definitely refers to the “harassed old friends”.</p>

<p>I believe I said coldness for the thin streak of pink, though I’m not sure. And vigor of bone means physical strength</p>

<p>It was coldness. I interpreted it as “tiny streak” meaning that that was all she had in the first place. No way she was frail though.</p>

<p>Vigor of bone - physical strength?</p>

<p>I was looking for that passage! Couldn’t find it!</p>

<p>Most of the frog poem is here, the last few lines are missing.</p>

<p>Ugh shaq you’re right. Thanks for the link</p>

<p>Yes! That was a total random guess…</p>

<p>Also, there was a question asking which described Achilles; was the answer “gilt over-dusted”?</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
  4. Doesn’t contain regular meter</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
  8. Friends were relieved by his death
  9. Antecedent = old friends</p>

<p>Lady Eustace

  1. Calculated allure
  2. Sir Florian is a victim
  3. Hair accesories
  4. Passage was broken down into parenthetical statements
  5. Her thin pink streak of heart indicated her coldness
  6. Sir Florian was bewitched by her
  7. Vigor of bone = strength</p>

<p>Ulysses

  1. Worldly attitude
  2. Ajax = latest to gain fame
  3. Usage of similes and metaphors
  4. (question about alms)
  5. Time was the most discussed
  6. The gods’ recognition was due to gained renown
  7. One has to constantly perform deeds to gain recognition
  8. Achiles = gilt overdusted</p>

<p>Despair

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

<p>Dreamer- I thought that the pink streak of heart showed a little bit of distasteful emotion (that is not usual in her personality) and thus a little bit of contrived anger. The passage refutes all claims that she is a cold person, and rather depicts the opposite.
And for “vigor of bone” I said physical strength but that was a guess.</p>

<p>I also said Achilles was gilt overdusted.</p>
