<p>I kicked buttocks on the first essay the last two essays...thats another story. I fell asleep for like 10 minutes and then I kept napping every 2 minutes. The multiple choice wasn't that bad but the the poem about Rafael. ***?</p>
<p>for the third essay prompt i believe it was written "THE" country instead of "A" country..furthermore, you college-level students could have easily deducted what the damn prompt meant just by looking at the novel suggestions..As I Lay Dying, East of Eden, Midsummer Night's Dream, etc..
college board will laugh at you</p>
<p>I wrote about the forest in the scarlet letter. I thought the meant like jungleish not rural. Oh well. I'm an idiot. I can't believe college confidential blocks out W T F.</p>
<p>Woot a lot of people wrote about jungles too.</p>
<p>yeah, i agree with cincy. the key was "THE" country. i used ethan frome which i tend to write about for everything even though i read it beginning of junior year. couldn't remember mattie silver's name but it probably won't matter. would like a 5 but i think i got a 4.</p>
<p>please allow me to clear this up once and for all..according to dictionary.com: </p>
<p>n. pl. coun·tries </p>
<p>1)A nation or state.
The territory of a nation or state; land.
T he people of a nation or state; populace: The whole country will profit from the new economic reforms.
2)The land of a person's birth or citizenship: Foreign travel is restricted in his country.
3)A region, territory, or large tract of land distinguishable by features of topography, biology, or culture: hill country; Bible country.
4)An area or expanse outside cities and towns; a rural area: a vacation in the country.
5)Law. A jury.
6)Informal. Country music. </p>
<p>In the context of the prompt, 4 is the most acceptable as it is a COUNTRY SETTING...3 might have a shot..the rest are about as acceptable as 6</p>
<p>Did anyone else use "Madame Bovary" for the third essay? That's one of my favorite books and I was so glad when I saw it on the list. I was actually freaking out when I first read the question, but after reading it again, I understood it and I knew that it was the perfect book. As for essay 1, I had no clue what I was doing; I just used some literary devices and I think I did ok on essay 2. I def. was not prepare enough for the multiple choice and thats partly because my teacher did not spend a lot of time on that; damn socratic seminars. LOL. Best of luck to everyone else, I think and hope that I got a 3!</p>
<p>I thought it was pretty easy... I was doing great but time caught up to me in the MC and I missed the 5th passage that had 5 questions (I jumped 2 the last one) I kicked but on the essays... I wrote the last one on the Lord of the Flies. Predict: 4</p>

<p>I thought country had to be like farm land. My friend said it didn't, and did Heart of Darkness. I would have done that one or the awakening, but i didn't think the jungle or the beach worked. <em>sigh</em> I think I take things too literally.</p>

<p>Wow, I wrote about the rural countryside but over half of my class wrote about a nation-state country. Either they'll have to accept the latter or basically everyone who even mentioned the countryside is going to get a good grade. Remember, they have to meet their little quotas.</p>
<p>.............................................</p>
<p>-the- Country???</p>
<p>yeah bookaddict i used the awakening, im hoping it was acceptable because i was reluctant at first, but i just ended up going with it anyway</p>
