~~CR Hispanic Passage Discussion~~

<p>Only discuss in this thread if you had the Hispanic Passage.</p>

<p>i put "they studied each other suspiciously" for the question about the girls intial reactions..... is this right?</p>

<p>I thought it was "cautiously look at each other"</p>

<p>i got cautiously also</p>

<p>Here are some of my answers:</p>

<p>1) studied each other cautiously</p>

<p>2) The girl and the narrator discussed various criteria for wearing an ethnic label</p>

<p>3) The narrator's mother thinks she harbors "unrealistic expectations"</p>

<p>4) Regular in context of the passage means "unvarying"</p>

<p>5) As the narrator looks out at Brooklyn, she considers it "uniform and ----" can't remember the last part of it.</p>

<p>6) At the end of the passage, the girl experiences fearfulness and uncertainty of the future.</p>

<p>7) The passage about the rain consists of vivid imagery</p>

<p>Again, that's all I really remember.</p>

<p>I wasn't sure, but I guessed on one and put that it was "drab and multifaceted."</p>

<p>again...I really didn't know.</p>

<p>Come on guys, this passage is just as important as the Lewis one!</p>

<p>Glucose: Drab seems to fit, but "multifaceted" does not describe Brooklyn at all. The narrator clearly emphasizes the regularity and uniformity of her surroundings by talking about how every few blocks there was something or the other (trash, weed-choked lots, etc.)</p>

<p>Just my two cents.</p>

<p>what about the short passages? (I don't even remember them, if you supply what they were about, I can see what I remember)</p>

<p>ajkcorner1:</p>

<p>my memory is bad and i could hardly recall the questions unless u awesome guys remind me of them, but again as the lewis passage, all my answers were the same as urs :)</p>

<p>Oh, I think the short passages for the Hispanic one have to do with overpopulation.</p>

<p>Here are my answers:</p>

<p>1) The tone of passage 1 is "emphatic"</p>

<p>2) The author of passage 2 would probably criticize the first author for using an incorrect criterion for determining overpopulation</p>

<p>3) The phrase "empty" is in quotes b/c the second author disagrees with the first author's characterization of certain regions.</p>

<p>4) Both authors agree that large areas of the world are still unoccupied. </p>

<p>All I remember!</p>

<p>I got all the same as you, except 1, but I knew I had it wrong. I put like decisive or something like that, LOL.</p>

<p>ajkcorner1, </p>

<p>u have an amazing memory. i can say nothing but our answers r the same again</p>

<p>tonysu --- kind of funny how I can remember SAT questions from a day ago and yet cannot remember what I had for breakfast today.</p>

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

<p>ajkcorner1,</p>

<p>just wondering, how do you normall do in the CR section, i mean, what do you get? i was wondering if i should base my answers off of you.</p>

<p>she's pretty right up to this point, with or without his score</p>

<p>I got a 750 in the 7th grade and do consistently well on the verbal (writing is another story, as you may know!)</p>

<p>Glucose: soy una chica!</p>

<p>i think that brooklyn one may have been uniform and oppressive.</p>

<p>i was pretty sure about it but now i dont know anymore...</p>

<p>lol...soy una chica too. </p>

<p>she's def all right...i think. which means i got 2 wrong. but how sure are you guys about "omnipotent", which is kinda like God isn't it? i said "expressive"</p>

<p>I agree with you Claudzie.</p>

<p>Wendy: Again, "expressive" also seems to accurately describe Lewis' movements. But the question is based on the narrator's impression of Lewis' hands. The narrator himself says that the flowing rivers stopped just to let Lewis make his point. That's kind of like God, don't you think?</p>

<p>i dont think the rain is vivid imagery...but i forgot which one i put down...sigh</p>
