<p>I didn't like my first two essays at all...nope...maybe i'll get pity points?...I used brave new world for my last one though...i think i did moderately ok on it...none of my classmates used that book but maybe it works? in all, i'm just a math science person so i don't really care about this test :)</p>
<p>They really need to accept different interpretations, because everything they framed could have been taken to mean a nation-state and not rural. Did they not think about that?</p>
<p>Wowzors #1 rocked my world. I didn't even mention mood... awaiting my 2</p>
<p>Is the jungle in "Heart of Darkness" a country setting? Just a random question.</p>
<p>Looking at all the people who thought #3 implied an actual country....I may friggin pass this thing.</p>
<p>I want to email and ask but I don't know if their 'wait two days' policy is implemented in talking to them as well. I feel like if enough people tell them about the diff interpretations they'll HAVE to accept it... sooner the better. I really don't know why they wouldn't have said rural. This is an AP Lit exam. Isn't it kind of critical on this test more than any other to clarify -- or else, clearly, there'll be different interpretations.</p>
<p>What did you guys say about the poem??? I think I tied it all together within like the last two lines... something about Romanticism and how night is ideal because of the references to the past and how daylight is corruption or something. Ahh.</p>
<p>I thought the prose was super easy because we just read Pride and Prejudice in class and that play was along the same exact lines.</p>
<p>LetMeIntoCal, I hope Heart of Darkness's jungle would work because I did The Things They Carried and that's along the same lines/location...</p>
<p>I talked about the struggle against time for number #1</p>
<p>Hawk = sun?</p>
<p>There's no wrong or right as long as you can show enough evidences to support your statement. ------- this is what my teacher told me.</p>
<p>I did Thing's Fall Apart for the third one as well. The poem I thought wasn't that bad.</p>
<p>I did very well on my second essay. I did OK for my third and OK for my first... actually, I did poorly on my first essay.</p>
<p>"Country" is no more vague than any other terms on the test. So long as you provide a decent setting and prove that it has a significant impact on the thematic content of the work, they won't hesitate to give you an 8 or a 9.</p>
<p>I toyed with doing "A Clockwork Orange," but wussed out at the last minute. Ended up doing "Huck Finn."</p>
<p>1st and 2nd essay were kinda hard to understand, well not hard to understand..but hard to put into words..esp. the first one. i know i didn't interpret it right. the open prompt was probably my best essay. i'm expecting a 3</p>
<p>""Country" is no more vague than any other terms on the test. "</p>
<p>Example??? I think it's pretty vague and I sure can't think of anything on the test that could've been interpretted in two totally different ways.</p>
<p>But they said as examples, primitive serene etc. I thought it was pretty clear...</p>
<p>Overall, test was better than expected. I went in without studying, except for reviewing my book, and I guess the approach worked. I used Streetcar Named Desire for the open ended essay, and it seemed to work out pretty well. The other two seemed pretty standard, and there were plenty of literary terms/etc. to work in</p>
<p>I got raped lol.
hamlet failed me T____T</p>
<p>the massachusetts bay colony owns the third essay imo</p>
<p>I went in without studying and came out crying.</p>
<p>I thought it was overall pretty easy. MC was easy. The essays I think I did really well.</p>
<p>Also, how could people not understand what it meant by country? I wrote on Frankenstein by the way.</p>
<p>for the country one i thought they meant a country scene so I used Ithaca from the odyssey -__-</p>
