AP English Lit on Thursday

<p>Yeah they threw a volta in line 9 of the sonnet.</p>

<p>I put I, II, and III also. However, I was stuck between optimistic and worldly. I chose optimistic.</p>

<p>Another roman numeral question was the one with the frog. I think I put I and II.</p>

<p>I was stuck between those two too, but I didn’t think Odysseus was optimistic about Achilles gaining his fame back and he was just saying that fame is fleeting. It was almost “reassuring” but I don’t think it was “optimistic”.</p>

<p>I said I and II as well for the frog one.</p>

<p>As well, I put I and II. Now that I’m checking what other people said about the multiple choice, maybe I did get a three? Wow, completely the opposite of what I thought would happen when coming on here.</p>

<p>Is a 3 better or worse than you thought?</p>

<p>I put worldly, he didn’t seem very optimistic in my opinion. The whole passage, he was rather pessimistic actually, by saying that Achilles is no longer the people praise because his past deeds are now overshadowed by someone else’s current deeds. Towards the end, he does reassure Achilles that he still has it in him to get that praise back, but the question asked for the tone as a whole.</p>

<p>@Shaq395, better I thought I flat-out failed.</p>

<p>Yeah starchwinky that’s what I thought. Also, Ajax was the latest to grab fame, not Achilles’ rival right?</p>

<p>anyone got answers about the painter?</p>

<p>Bless his heart was ironic interjection?
Worldly sounds right now.
Ajax was the latest to get renown, not rival.</p>

<p>The painter was the person who wasn’t satirized. The call to bury him in Arlington was overexaggerated or something like that. And for the adjective that didn’t describe him I said “boor” but I’m pretty sure it’s actually “bigot”.</p>

<p>It was bigot, overexaggerated, and, I thought, police.</p>

<p>Syndekit, I said “pensive reflection (or something like that)” but it was a guess between that and “ironic interjection”. I don’t think it was ironic; I think it was pretty sincere.</p>

<p>I got Ajax was the latest to get fame.</p>

<p>The painter (Marius) one was fairly straightforward. He was a minor talent who timed his death perfectly. Only one not satirized was the police. The “surrealism” quote was the view of the editors.</p>

<p>For those curious, it seems that the Desire poem was a modified Petrarchan sonnet</p>

<p>But he is dead, so how could you “bless his heart?” His heart no longer exists.</p>

<p>It was police because there was no mention of police in the passage. The artist, however, is satirized by his fame after he dies</p>

<p>I didn’t think it was police, because he poked fun of the police for protecting people when the man was drunk or something along those lines. And also, “his old friends” was an answer when referring to a modifier.</p>
