<p>I asked my teacher and he was pretty confident that the correct anwser was peace.</p>
<p>yup. like that one about allusion/hyperbole. i knew they wanted u to pick allusion but the thing is, hyperbole was also correct ;)</p>
<p>I picked allusion dammit…I could see how it was hyperbole but wasn’t it also a bibilical allusion?</p>
<p>allusion was correct! im just saying that technically, so is hyperbole.</p>
<p>How was the author supposed to live on in the first passage?</p>
<p>Was it having his beloved recall his memory?</p>
<p>And wasn’t the allusion an example of hyperbole? I put allusion.</p>
<p>i dont remember that one. besides, im getting nervous. i think we might be pushing the collegeboard rules.</p>
<p>That was definitely an allusion, I thought. :/</p>
<p>I believe it was a hyperbole because the allusion itself was hyperbole.
if a=b and b=c, then a=c. That was my reasoning anyways.</p>
<p>I can see the reasoning behind hyperbole, but they used a footnote to specifically point out that it was an allusion and pointing that out so definitively makes me pretty sure allusion was the correct answer.</p>
<p>That question was definitely allusion. I really don’t think hyperbole works for that…</p>
<p>on the deception poem, what was the answer to the lady’s hair being like a snake and windy(?)the choices were: flirtatious and somethng; dangeros and sothing; elusive…?</p>
<p>on the race on, she felt everything but resentment? i was paranoid that i was missing something</p>
<p>for thine, i put beloveds life… ?</p>
<p>the whale one was hard for me. it was talkingabout the ghost. was it the guilt of the crew members?</p>
<p>since everyone thought it wa really easy, is the curve going to be ridiculous?</p>
<p>The whale passage was from moby dick. I think I put an anwser with guilt in it…</p>
<p>Wat did u guys put for the air sharks and sea vulture question?</p>
<p>Something about all nature being evil?</p>
<p>Same opportunistic behaviors.</p>
<p>Also, can anyone answer my question as to how much the curve fluctuates from year to year? Maybe 10 points? And did you guys think it was super easy or average? (Or hard?)</p>
<p>This exam confirms my hatred toward any English courses because of the issue of subjectivity. MC was easier than I expected, so I probably did very well, but not excellent.
The essay section was terrible. The book essay was the easiest (Crime and Punishment FTW!!) (3-4 pages long). The essay for the poetry one was fairly easy to decipher, but I probably didn’t go fully in depth with the poem (2-3 pages long). The essay for the prose one killed me since I couldn’t find anything worthwhile to write about (disjointed/incomplete and not even one page).</p>
<p>turner92- For my Beloved essay, I used Sethe being exiled from the community.</p>
<p>did anyone notice a consecutive, a…b…c…d answer on the mutiple choice?</p>
<p>@MegamanZX0964835 I felt the same about the Belinda passage, it felt like there was nothing to write about except the obvious. I think the one “perceptive” thing I was able to throw out there was that she kept saying he had such and such good characteristic, BUT (and then she contradicts it). So the main point was he had the potential to be a cool guy, but he wasn’t, making him even less cool than your average uncool guy.</p>
<p>Except I used actual “AP Lit” phrases to explain it. :P</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>I can’t remember anything about the MC now…lol it’s like the exam is a big black space in my memory… it was pretty brutal. I used Jane Eyre for the open-ended essay though. I love that book. I was nervous I was going to get some details wrong though because I read it freshman year and half my memory of it comes from the BBC miniseries. >_> haha</p>
<p>“did anyone notice a consecutive, a…b…c…d answer on the mutiple choice?”</p>
<p>YES! Thank god someone else did :D</p>
<p>@drexler, that just made my day. I was like this is completely absurd, why would they make an a…b…c…d… pattern. Atleast now I know someone else had the samething, and I wasn’t the only one :)</p>
