<p>I am sort of freaking out about this test. I need a four or better to get college credit and I think I may have gotten a three. Anyway the stupid free respone killed me. I thought they meant a rural English village. But since I haven't read any of that type of book I went with Heart of Darkness. I just hope that the African wilderness counts (what do you guys think???) I just ended up freaking out about the whole essay and wrote this horrible mess on Heart of Darkness. It was like all summary. The books I had prepped for were Daisy Miller and The Great Gatsby (Rome and New York are not really rural!!!). </p>
<p>So if I missed ten MC and get a five, six, and seven on my essay's do I still have a shot at a four? I think that I did pretty well on the second essay maybe I even got an eight on it. I thought I did really well on the first essay but after reading what you guys wrote I sort of missed a lot of the meaning. I had like four pages yet I talked about how it was timeless and how it ruled the night while man was confined to the safety of his home. I don't know ended up missing a lot of what it was saying but I still hope I got at least a six.</p>
<p>Y'all, when they say "country" it doesn't necessarily mean "down South in Mississippi" or any of that, just isolation from civilization. Like, I used the desert in mine (with Moses and the Jews walking through...) because they were stranded from civilization.</p>

<p>About these essays... and like somebody else has already said, so long as you can solidly support you ideas you should be at least ok. And just think, they use the bel curve thing for this one (I think)? So if we all sucked that bad then the curve will be a little bit different!</p>
<p>hmmm...interesting. For the hawk essay I said something about using the time we have to gain all the knowledge that we can gather. Don't think that's right...oh well.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how the curve thingie works on this test? Like if I missed ten MC got a 5, 7, 6 on my essay's would that be good enough for a four? Just really curious since I know if you get 29 correct MC and a 6 on each essay that you should get a three (according to my teacher).</p>
<p>honestly I think that all the theories that have been mentioned so far about the hawk can fit together into a similar idea, we just decided to focus on different aspects of the authors intent. As long as we supported the aspect that we chose we should be okay.</p>
<p>Ok here's my synopsis(sp). For the Mc I didn't do 2 passages. I skipped around because some where just plain rubbish. N e ways, to these horrible prompts which were not like the previous...</p>
<p>For the first I thought the hawk was a bat awakeing to the sunset. But if you google it, you'll totally see that I got owned. </p>
<p>For the second I talked about how woman were respected, but their husbands wanted to be apart of society and how the lady thought she was better than the guys and she didn't care to think about him. And how she controlled her daughter.</p>
<p>For the 3rd, I wrote about 1984 and eurasia</p>
<p>I hate that damn hawk...kept reading and rereading, just didn't make too much sense. I wish I was eating hawk meat...that be sweet. That's gotta be some expensive meat. I wonder how it tastes?</p>
<p>Heres the basic rubric I have my AP lit teacher gave me. It's only an approximation though, because the range of scores vary from test to test, and the essays are judged in relation to other essays written on the same topic at the same time, so its not a perfect scale. Here it is anyway, plug in your own scores and what you think you got:</p>
<p>Correct answers= 1 point
Incorrect answers= -1/4 point.
Leaving it blank= nothing, no deductions.</p>
<p>Get your raw score by adding up your corrects and incorrects, so if you got 40 correct, 8 incorrect, and 7 blank, your raw score is 38. Take that 38 and multiply by 1.25, so you get 47.5 for your weighted section I score.</p>
<p>Section two, take each of your timed writing scores 1-9, add the three scores together, and multiply it by 3.0556. So if you got a 6, 6, 7, you get a raw score of 19, and a weighted section II score of 58.0564.</p>
<p>Add weighted section I and weighted section II together for your composite score (in this case: 105.5564).</p>
<p>the hawk was a bat? didnt take the AP Biology exam aye? Haha just kidding.</p>
<p>I dont think the women cared much about respect from the men, they cared about respect, but only respect in the limited sense that they are driven by their desire for social standing. There was a touch of feminism in it actually, if you take into account the portrayal of marriage and womens growing independence. I touched on this but focused primarily on how they typified the artistocratic society, and how the were infact one and the same. Paradoxically, for all their claims of feministic independence, they lost their individualization through their desire for social status.</p>
<p>Anyways, thats my two shillings.</p>
<p>The last essay owned me, WHY OH WHY CANT CHICAGO BE IN THE COUNTRY!</p>
<p>my hawk thing sounded good at the time.... err
I said how he used a lot of mathematical terms like... hmm i forget, angles, geometry, planes? i think to reveal nature ( like math's) perfection....</p>
