AP English Literature.. tomorrow

<p>yes, knavish, memorize it. now.</p>

<p>(... or have a general idea of the diction/syntax if it applies to the book(s) you'll use for the open ended. i was bleeding more into the prose/poetry essays when i said that; all i know is that AP LOVES to hear those words.)</p>

<p>Ummm...I'm going to be screwed. I've sparked my books for the past three years and haven't exacted read a book from beginning to end, sooo...yea.
I'm going to help your curve.</p>

<p>Oh, of course I know you should discuss diction and syntax for prose/poetry essays.. diction especially is pretty obvious =P.</p>

<p>:P indeed; judging from the vibe of this thread though, no one's really feeling too confident about what to do tomorrow.</p>

<p>c'est la vie.</p>

<p>I'm doing:
Poisonwood Bible, King Lear, A Doll's House, some Kafka, Hamlet, and then I'll see what else I have around.</p>

<p>I'm not stressing. After all, it's just a test. I'm more worried about that the fact that cell phones are completely banned this year. I have no where to put mine during the test, so i have to leave it at home. sigh.</p>

<p>Would a less mainstream book like Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End be alright? I'm definitely reviewing more traditional works, but I feel that I could do that book justice. For what it's worth, it's on SparkNotes. It isn't unheard of.</p>

<p>As long as the "literary merit" of the book isn't questionable, it should be OK. There's usually someone grading essays that has read the book.</p>

<p>I'm starting to get nervous!</p>

<p>I think i've figured out how to do good on the MC!</p>

<p>Please share, Bmod?</p>

<p>yes please share how to do well! ;)</p>

<p>Yes*,* please share how to do well! ;);)</p>

<p>my <strong>well</strong> being has been crushed by spyder2287... </p>

<p>::weeping::</p>

<p>I'm not studying these, but these will be the ones I'll have in mind ( hopefully my memory will do me well)</p>

<p>Madame Bovary
Jane Eyre
Pride and Prejudice
Gullivers Travels
Wild Duck
Hamlet
Romeo and Juliet
Light in August</p>

<p>i'm off to claim some sleep before the essay marathon tomorrow.</p>

<p>good luck to all-- hopefully the open-ended will be kind to us!</p>

<p>My English teacher recommended-
Heart of Darkness
Invisible Man
Crime and Punishment</p>

<p>I recommend gunning down on a novel that has a lot of character development which affects the overall theme... those seem to appear the most.</p>

<p>Are epic poems considered novels?</p>

<p>It can be an epic poem...I've heard of people using the Aenied or Faust and getting a 5.</p>

<p>Invisible man can work for a lot of things...race, internal hardships, societal conflicts...it's nice</p>

<p>Anyone really "buckle down" and study for this thing? not much u can really do right? it's just "read this" and "answer this"</p>

<p>The multiple choice is what I'm practicing now and it seems really difficult so far with the actual test of 1994. Is there any tips? I've basically learned just to not overthink the questions.</p>
