<p>wow, everyone says the poetry was hard to interpret. I thought it was really straightforward</p>
<p>I'm not reffering to the one in FRQ... (hint-hint)...</p>
<p>-The Hinting Coot66</p>
<p>I thought this was suprisingly easy except for one of the MC poem passages.
The essays were very easy. LOVED the third one. I used Camus's The Stranger.</p>
<p>Harry Potter is definitely NOT a work of literary merit, so you can't use it. </p>
<p>I used Jude. I know tons of people in my class did Death of a Salesman, did people do that in other classes?</p>
<p>A lot of people used Beloved. I used the Great Gatsby.</p>
<p>anyone here use death of a salesman? thats what i used. I thought about native son at first, but for some reason decided against it. Probably would have been better had i gone with that.</p>
<p>Almost everyone I talked to did a play, but we did a bunch of plays toward the end of the year which might have factored in. Tons of Death of a Salesman, quite a few did Streetcar Named Desire, and several people did The Visit or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.</p>
<p>Nearly everyone I knew used Death of a Salesman because we all read it in class. I used A Streetcar Named Desire. I thought the last poem was a little hard- the pictures one.</p>
<p>So is my school the only school that forgot to order the Lit tests? This is so retarded.. we have to do a makeup on the 25th.</p>
<p>I agree that the test was really easy. Does that mean there's going to be a wicked curve?</p>
<p>And yeah, for free response I went with Jane Eyre. The book most people in my class chose however was Oedipus Rex. Others went with A Streetcar Named Desire and The Crucible.</p>
<p>I went in expecting to be blasted by 18th and 19th century poems that I didn't understand. I thought the multiple choice would be killer because that's all I got during the year. I thought the essays would be as hard as last year's Lang.
I was wrong. Completely. The MC was much much easier than I expected - I understood all of the poems. The essays weren't hard at all, but the second one gave me a little trouble in terms of organization. For the third essay, I used Death of a Salesman.</p>
<p>Oh and also... did anyone else finish the MCs mad early? I was done with 25 minutes to spare...</p>
<p>Really? I was exactly on time.</p>
<p>I had a bunch of time left over too, enough to write out a summary of all the events in Jude the Obscure. Which is a LONG list. XD</p>
<p>i felt VERY happy after the exam. :D crossing my fingers for a 5!</p>
<p>yeah i had 15 minutes to spare on the mc and 10 to spare on the essays
much much easier than i thought it would be, the only iffy part was the last poem on the MC</p>
<p>in my last 10 minutes i wrote the AP readers a few limericks in the leftover space...hopefully they won't take points off for that
:)
i'll share a couple that i remember:
There once was an AP lit exam,
For which I decided to cram.
I bought a prep book,
I gave it a look,
And then I ate green eggs and ham.</p>
<p>There was an old man named Bertrand,
Who wrote for 2 hours with his hand.
It hurt so much,
He decided as such,
To put his whole hand in some sand. (yeah i was crunched for time and needed a rhyme)</p>
<p>i used pygmalion. i actualy enjoyed writing the essay.</p>
<p>MC was easy, but its a paradox- if it was easy then it wasn't that easy because of the curve.</p>
<p>I sort of froze up in deciding which essay to write first, and I missed the book I just read on the book list.</p>
<p>I felt that I wrote insightful sentences but my length only averaged a front and a back or so...</p>
<p>I'm thinking 3, maybe 4</p>
<p>"my length only averaged a front and a back or so."</p>
<p>Mine too, that's not something to worry about at all... I hope?</p>
<p>does anyone know if you get more leniancy for using more unusual books based on what everyone else used? I doubt it but it wouldn't be the worst idea</p>
<p>I went with Tess of the D'Urbervilles</p>
