<p>“In” or something like that.</p>
<p>Also, why is halfhearted incorrect? It said it was half passionless.</p>
<p>I said perfecto was like the messiah lol</p>
<p>@Shaq, it should be fine, since that’s a difficult interpretation…what was your thesis?</p>
<p>@Syndekit: in, since it’s the same as the word before soul(or whatever it was)</p>
<p>BTW, what was the question whose answer was “silent”?</p>
<p>Picordy, silence definitely wasn’t a negative thing in the passage. And it was definitely either a recommendation or a warning for that other question, but I picked recommendation.</p>
<p>I put “in” as well.</p>
<p>Garfieldliker, my thesis was pretty terrible for that essay haha. I think I got at least 7s on the other two (probably 8s) but I messed up that one pretty bad. I talked about her character transitioning from a state of impatience and stubbornness to one of inquisition and curiosity.</p>
<p>I think I put “recommendation” too. I do remember “explanation” as a choice in one of the questions, am I referring to this question?</p>
<p>Yeah same question. It was not an explanation though.</p>
<p>For the Estrella passage, I said she was immature and child-like in the beginning and enlightened in the end.</p>
<p>@Syndekit That’s exactly what I wrote about too. Thanks for the unintentional reassurance, man!</p>
<p>@Shaq
What was the question?
@NotElitist
Nice!!! I really hope we get a 5!</p>
<p>Shaq, mine was similar, but I said she went from angry/ignorant to knowledgable and motivated? Even if Perfecto is Jesus, how does that invalidate our theses?</p>
<p>MC felt a lot easier than most practice tests I took… although I struggled in the Ulysses passage and had to guess most of them.</p>
<p>I was surprised when I opened the FRQ booklet and saw 15 stanza poem in the front page… I was like… Is this it!? I breezed through the poem since its small length was a big timesaver for me, and I thought the poetry techniques weren’t that hard to find/analyze although I think I missed some key points. I wrote about irony, paradoxes and repetitive syntax.</p>
<p>I hated the second passage but compared to FRQs from last years, this seemed easy comprehension-wise. I struggled organizing an essay that could show Estrella’s development, so I just wrote a simple one explaining how the shift in tone from oppressive to illuminating is used to portray her quest for knowledge, as well as how the author used selection of some detail…</p>
<p>Loved the final prompt! Although none of the books my class read where in there, I thought about writing one about BNW or Jane Eyre. I ended up writing about Jane Eyre’s development as she lives through different settings during her lifetime. Did anyone here use Jane Eyre?</p>
<p>Was “recommendation” choice B?
I was thinking about Jane Eyre. That was definitely a good option to go with.</p>
<p>^I think so. I’m pretty sure that one was before “lament” which was answer C.</p>
<p>I wrote about Quentin from the Sound and the Fury. That was the last book I read so it was fresh in the mind and the question seemed made for him to be honest. lol</p>
<p>Good! Pretty sure I chose B. SOOO hard to remember!</p>
<p>Did anybody read All the King’s Men? I used that for question 3.</p>
<p>qwerty, the poem was definitely 14 lines…I remember that it was a sonnet, in iambic pentameter. It was ALMOST Shakespearean, but one pair of lines had a weird rhyme scheme. Thus, I drew a “Y U NO RHYME CORRECTLY” meme on that prompt</p>
<p>@Qwerty Yeah I thought Ulysses was def. the hardest. All I remember from that is saying I, II, and III are correct, and guessing on “worldly” as an answer.
@Garfield It shouldn’t invalidate it, but I can’t believe I missed the allegory.
@Syndekit The question was something like “Starting at Line ____ (I think 9 or so), what was the poet offering to those who are grieving?” Or something along those lines.</p>
<p>LOL! I noticed that too and talked about it in my essay.</p>
