<p>I wrote about the island/New Orleans/pigeon home in The Awakening and I got a 5.</p>
<p>I'm pretty shocked considering I only got a 3 on Language last year, and English is usually my worst subject.</p>
<p>I think my essays for the test were not stellar, but they were good enough, seeing as I was confident in the multiple choice. I wrote about how the countryside in Madame Bovary drives Emma to her ultimate destruction. So I guess I interpretated it the "right" way. </p>
<p>Got a 5.</p>
<p>I wrote about a rural setting (Their Eyes Were Watching God) and I got a 5.</p>
<p>AHH!!! BONGO!!!</p>
<p>Maybe it was a bad idea starting this thread...</p>
<p>Congrats on your 5, though...</p>
<p>haha, ty :)</p>
<p>At least we were right!</p>
<p>I wrote about Wuthering Heights on the third essay, which was definitely my worst. I forgot the names of some of the characters and locations halfway through (Catherine Heathcliff, Catherine Linton, Catherine Linton Heathcliff???). I was pretty confident about the MC. I got a 5.</p>
<p>I'm really upset and I know I shouldn't be, but I wrote about a setting in general because I decided to ignore the country part and I used Wuthering Heights. I got a 4 which sucks because I made a 5 on every single practice test all year. What's worse is that my school's val who is a mediocre writer got a 5....w/e I'm going to college in a few months and it won't matter. ......it still sucks though..AH!</p>
<p>I suck at English, misread the prompt and wrote about native son for the third essay and got a 4. Anythings possible.</p>
<p>Is it ok to write about a short story/novella for that third essay? That's what I did since I knew one that fit well and I hadn't read any of the other books on the sheet. Would it have compromised my score on that essay if I didn't write about a novel? Anyone have a similar experience?</p>
<p>nah, others have posted that they wrote about Heart of Darkness.</p>
<p>Waiting for Godot,5 </p>
<p>I thought the essays were great an I actually enjoyed writing them.</p>
<p>I worte about country setting in Brokeback Mountain (haha.... I know) and I got a 4! haha i was totally freaking out and i didnt know what to write about.... and I had just read the short story two nights earlier. haha Im amazing.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who used Grapes of Wrath? I thought it was the logical choice for the essay. Don't know what I got though - I'm way too cheap to pay the $8.</p>
<p>Grapes of Wrath or Wuthering Heights were probably the ideal choices but I couldnt remember anything about the novels.</p>
<p>geee i wrote about the savage reservation as opposed to the world state in brave new world... havent gotten my scores yet...</p>
<p>I wrote about Don Quixote and got a 3, i guess that's what you deserve when your basis of the novel is from reading excerpts of the abridged spanish version. :)</p>
<p>fut18000, I ignored the "country" part altogether too and I just wrote about the crazy Puritan beliefs in The Crucible as the backdrop for the story... so I didn't even address the rural/country-ness of the setting at all. And I got a 5! I don't know how though...</p>
<p>None of the books I had reviewed fit the prompt at all, so I wrote about The Bluest Eye, which was an enormous stretch. I was so surprised when I found out I got a 5 it's not even funny. I guess my MC was strong enough to cover a bad essay.</p>
<p>I wrote about Hardy's Return of the Native...Egdon Heath. Got a 5!</p>
<p>I wrote on Oceania in 1984 and felt so stupid afterwards. I felt even more stupid because I considered the setting for Chronicle of a Death Foretold, which is a country with a country setting, so I would've gotten both of them!</p>
<p>I got a 5 though, so it's all good. I think they cared more about content. I was so worried..</p>
