<p>The exact same here. That passage was gorgeous, too.</p>
<p>I wrote mine on Jane Eyre too! I thought it fit perfectly, I wrote four pages and talked about four different times when she was. I thought it was good!</p>
<p>What do you think I’ll get if I forgot to relate the third to the work as a whole? I wrote about Gone with the Wind, and the closest I got to ‘the work as a whole’ was that her isolation made her realize her potential for independence… Do you think that will take me to a 5?</p>
<p>Oh and I thought the speaker was female, I don’t really know why. I just got that sense, but I referred to her as ‘he or she’.</p>
<p>The first FRQ had so many interpretations…I was trying to pick and choose what to write the entire time. And I didn’t realize until after the test was over that I wrote “Meema” twenty times without ever putting “her” in front of it. Which I guess isn’t really a concrete mistake…but the reader might think I’m stupid.</p>
<p>The second one’s tone made me pause. I’m not sure I got it right. I spent a lot of time writing about the language/syntax/diction though, and a little about the POV. </p>
<p>I chose Wuthering Heights for the third one, and tied it into a major theme.</p>
<p>As for the MC…everyone is saying it was so easy…and I’m so confused. There must’ve been something wrong with me. I thought it was hard.</p>
<p>Everyone in my class thought it was super easy…and I’ve gotten 5’s on all my practices…</p>
<p>But the first poem…the one with the dude and his beloved…confused the heck out of me.</p>
<p>The prose passages and the last poem (the daughter trying to get to her father–BTW, I also thought the speaker was a man until I saw “she”) were easy. </p>
<p>The whale one…was alright. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that bad, but two of the poems kicked my ass. </p>
<p>The beloved one and the other one made me cringe…</p>
<p>I only skipped three…well, that’s not true. I didn’t skip any, but I went back later and erased three I had no clue about. </p>
<p>(If I skip, I ALWAYS, ALWAYS mess up in my bubbling in.)</p>
<p>MC was way easier than previous years. All of my essays were pretty weak though.</p>
<p>In one poem, I couldn’t tell if the man was dying or if he was just leaving his lover or something.</p>
<p>If I did decently on the multiple choice part (maybe -17), what scores do you think I could get on the essays and still get a 4?</p>
<p>One of the MC passages was like… hard for me. I don’t like those type. I think it was number 3… the short one.</p>
<p>
Same 10char</p>
<p>i used scarlet letter and talked about how hester prynne was ostracized from her community, but was able to regain entrance and constrasted hester with dimmesdale in order to show how hester’s exile was beneficial to her.</p>
<p>I think I rocked the first essay 
Second was weak. Third I started to write about Metamorphosis, realized it didn’t make sense, then wrote about Brave New World. It turned out okay.</p>
<p>Like everyone else said, MC very easy.
Essay #1 Structure, Tone, Color and Race
Essay #2 Mainly syntax and and point of view.
Essay #3 The Handmaid’s Tale</p>
<p>MC was much better than expected! i have to get a 3 to get college credit, and I’m not too worried. I used Lord of the Flies for the #3 essay… surprised no one else on here did! It worked really well :)</p>
<p>The second essay was so difficult though… I was having a hard time picking out literary devices in that passage besides the ones given. Hopefully all went well, it seems like everyone is pretty confident. :D</p>
<p>I used Lord of the Flies too… and it was the only book i reviewed on sparknotes last night. When I read the 3rd essay prompt I almost started laughing to myself at how lucky I was</p>
<p>I used Invisible Man on #3. It fit perfectly (I think…)</p>
<p>I think multiple choice was way easier than what I had on the practice exam!</p>
<p>I chose Snow Falling On Cedars for question 3 and used Hatsue Imada being exiled from her community but growing culturally and emotionally richer for it.</p>
<p>Hope that’s good enough for a 4.</p>
<p>The multiple choice was extremely easy</p>
<p>The first two essays were easy too. Im so glad that the poem was contemporary because if they chose that to be the older piece I prob would have done SO much worse.</p>
<p>Third Essay: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead</p>
<p>MC were fairly easy. Beloved was OK, whale was OK, neighborhood was OK, Airport was easy, Deceit was fairly easy. </p>
<p>Essay 1: Color imagery and Personification
Essay 2: Negative tone and Satire
Essay 3: French Lieutenant’s Woman</p>
<p>I’m scared that my essays 2 and 3 are too off topic, since for essay 3 I didn’t talk about an actual place or person, but society in general. Also not sure if the book I used is OK for an open essay. Essay 1 was decent, I hated Essay 2.</p>
<p>2 was definitely not a satire in my opinion. I thought the tone was more or less objective, perhaps moderately critical.</p>
<p>MC was beyond easy.</p>
<p>Essay #1: Structure, Imagery (various types), Metaphor, Tone, and Race
Essay #2: Tone, Diction, Point of View, B.S.
Essay #3: Jane Eyre</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. That is what I put in my essay - I hope it was correct.</p>
<p>has anyone read A Lesson Before Dying? Do you think that could have worked for question 3?</p>
