<p>Same here... I don't need Lit for anything--& hopefully I won't actually need to use Subject Test scores..</p>
<p>^ The best argument could probably be made for the speaker being a black writer, but one definitely does not need to be black to be disgusted by racism, and that was a leap that I didn't feel comfortable making. I blanked it.</p>
<p>@sqaudus, I think I put down "spoiled daughter". Don't know why I did that but it seemed that northern tourist and black writer were both unsupported.</p>
<p>Nice, you had an Othello excerpt. Was it the exchange between Emilia and Desdemona about fidelity?</p>
<p>i put down black writer. when the speaker was describing Flannery he/she was talking about how Flannery inspired him in his works.. at least from what i remember..</p>
<p>It was definitely black writer because she said the reason the discrimination was unbearable for him/her rather than just something he/she extremely disliked was because it personally affected his/her life.</p>
<p>wait, so it really was black writer? if so, i am ecstatic!!</p>
<p>I put black writer as well, I just think it was the most supported out of all the answer choices because she clearly identified with O'Conners writing style and to me it seemed like she was s southern resident
but any idea about a curve?
How much do you think you can miss for a 750?</p>
<p>my answers seem to be in concordance with most everyone else's except for the one in the first passage about gravity... i put loss of control, because she seemed relieved to be an imminent adult or whatever... hopefully my actual score corresponds to my last practice test score. does anyone know how well the kaplan book predicts on this test?</p>
<p>black writer as well.</p>
<p>most def. a black writer</p>
<p>yeah i thought the gravity one referred to diminished control because the metaphor makes it seem like she's pushed down then up against gravity without her control. idk :/</p>
<p>what did people put for the question that asked about how the girl descried her father? I put "infirmity"-- i was torn between infirmity and hypocrisy, but i felt like hypocrisy was used to describe the mother more.</p>
<p>I also said infirmity for that one. There's no evidence that he's a hypocrite..right?</p>
<p>Definitely infirmity. The speaker used the word hypocrite while describing her mother; she only talks about her father in the context of his old age.</p>
<p>ahh man i put authority just because i didn't know what infirmity meant and authority made the most sense out of the remaining choices</p>
<p>infirmity for sure...and black writer--actually the answer was black feminist or something like that--which also makes sense because in the second last paragraph (I think) she mentions O'Conner's use of language and characterization to change the perceptions of black women...and something about putting white women on a pedestal...idk</p>
<p>its infirmity cos that guy was 36 yrs older and the mum had to sort of take care of him. and she was indifferent not resentful because she lies on her bed while ranting in her mind. lies on bed = indifferent.</p>
<p>yeah and the black writer was impressed by her mastery of language and characterization.</p>
<p>^tiobehpio that logic of lies on bed = indifferent is very flawed. She is clearly upset by her mother's forcing her out of the house, so much so that she decides to leave the country without telling her. She is highly resentful.</p>
