AP English Literature (comments after test)

<p>I did Joyce for the open-ended as well. MC was niiice. God. I want a 5 SO BAD! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. First FR was good, second SUCKED! OMFG I...I...I'm scared.</p>

<p>i think you're my lit twin, modestmouse.</p>

<p>Hah, maybe we are, Portrait.(I HOPE WE BOTH GOT 5's!) I think I did fairly well. Yeah, 6-7ish for me. Idk. I might have summarized a little bit too much.</p>

<p>i used the things they carreid for the open ended question. MC was horrrrrrendous. i didnt get what the first passage was talking about..</p>

<p>anyone took both lit and lan?</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>For a smart guy, you're pretty dumb.</p>

<p>I took language last year; literature is exceptionally easier.</p>

<p>Why is being embarrased a mid life crisis? I thought it was a story about isolation between people.</p>

<p>Thought the multiple choice was really really easy. My teacher had been giving us hard as hell practice tests so that really helped. </p>

<p>FR1- About 3 pages, think I did really well
FR2- Kinda stumped on this one for a while, ended up writing about irony and deceiving appearances
FR3- Used Brave New World- fit in amazingly well so I think I did really good on that one</p>

<p>overall, hoping for a 4</p>

<p>He was embarrassed that you was no longer a youth. Honestly, it doesn't have to be true, as long as you can support your claim.</p>

<p>do you think it was ok to use the Awakening for # 3 essay question? They didn't say anything against using it. I just knew that book a WHOLE lot better than the other ones and used it.</p>

<p>But then the selection process becomes kind of obvious and meaningless... that's what I thought. Regrets</p>

<p>MC - very easy, easiest one ive had</p>

<p>first prompt - very easy
second prompt - easy
third prompt - works for anything, and for whoever said it doesnt work for heart, othello, and other books it works perfectly.
also, the things they carried was THE perfect book for the 3rd prompt.</p>

<p>I've never written an AP essay of longer than a page and a half...</p>

<p>The second one sucked.</p>

<p>Loved the firs though.</p>

<p>the lang wasnt that bad at ALL... i didnt bother studying seeing as there was no point, so i just went to sleep early and the next day... but then the french lang right after kinda destroyed my good mood</p>

<p>MC- pretty damn easy, escept for that last poem</p>

<p>Prompt #1: my best, I got in a lot (analysis and some awesome literary words). Only 2 pages, but I write ridiculously small. I'm thinking 8.
Prompt #2: meh... it was okay. I talked about imagery, diction, and something about irony. 1.5 pages, probably a 6-7.
Prompt #3: my worst. I wrote about Great Expectations, which would have been a godd choice if I remembered the book! 1,5 pages, probably a 6 (7 if I'm lucky).</p>

<p>I'm expecting definitely a 4, a 5 if I'm lucky (and if the MC was really as easy as I thought it was! I didn't leave any blank!).</p>

<p>I walked into the test knowing one of 2 novels we read all year....Moby Dick. And surprisingly that worked in my favor! I think I wrote a great easy about Ishmael. MCs were ok, and the other two free responses were straightfoward.</p>

<p>I think its funny that of all the books on the list they give you....we only read 2 of them throughout both my AP English years.....yet 6 of the books they cover in our school's regular English honors classes appeared</p>

<p>one paragraph i devoted to syntax.....noting how the juxtaposition of strong negative words created its effect...</p>

<p>did anyone see apostrophe? i remeber him saying soemthing like i wanted to tell him to stop or something (remember first sentence of 3rd paragraph)</p>

<p>Stop discussing the actual questions. </p>

<p>Only comments on the diffuculty of the exam are allowed at this phase.</p>

<p>yeah... i think i wrote all 8 figures of speech in the first prompt, plus diction and syntax.</p>
