<p>i thought the question specifically mentioned the timeframe as she reminisce. she is resentful throughout her life until it got saturated and she was indifferent to her mum by not telling her or anyone anything anymore. idk though, not a lit student :)</p>
<p>She is not reminiscing; in fact right after her internal discourse she gets out of bed to leave the country. She is reflecting upon the current state of her relationship and how it differs from her childhood. Basically, she was happy as a child w/ her parents, and now she resents the seperation between her and her parents.</p>
<p>i thought she was "stifled" and the "extent of control her parents had" were answers. she didn't seem very happy to me and although she recollects unhappy memories at that point in time she sure seemed pretty indifferent lol. more narrative imo.</p>
<p>No, no, she clearly wasn't "very happy", I agree. I don't even know which question you are referring to, I'm just letting you know that indifferent is very wrong (unless it was an "Except" question haha) and if you still think its right you grossly misinterpreted the passage. At no point in time was she indifferent, she was passionately resentful in both her language and her ultimate action of leaving the country.</p>
<p>indifferent means apathetic or simply not caring</p>
<p>she cared so much in the passaged that she complained so much about it.
i put she was resentful</p>
<p>How could an infirm person have made all that stuff that he made?? lol</p>
<p>He was infirm in his head - no teeth of his own in there. lol
Plus that home cooked potion instead of prescribed medication.</p>
<p>i left the one about the tone of the first paragraph of the senator passage blank.
was the tone suspicious, awestruck, or anxious? i hate tone questions :(.</p>
<p>I put that the tone was satirical... :P</p>
<p>yes, they do recycle the literature tests :S</p>
<p>^Again? Just like the October one?</p>
<p>ha Gcf, assuming you are a high school senior, how are you a moderator?</p>
<p>Lol, yeah gcf, EXPLAIN YO'SELF!</p>
<p><em>pressed against the wall</em>
Oh, the power of assumptive assumptions...
'fessing up.
I am taking a bunch of standardized tests every year to stay up-to-date in what I teach/tutor/coach, my rambunctious high school years being far in the past and space. That's as much personal info as I am ready to share (see, now I am presuming: nobody even asked me for more :)).</p>
<p>Just one thing: I am a noob at the SAT Literature. I've decided to try to determine for myself whether the test is
1. consistent (not subjective)
2. learnable
Poetry is my Achilles Heel and I am not sure yet if I'll be able to overcome this handicap.</p>
<p>gcf are your scores consistent so far? or was October your first time w/ Lit?</p>
<p>October was my benchmark - no prep or even familiarity with the test. Got 660.
Did not have time to prepare for the December one, but decided to take it anyway.
Poetry destroyed me. EVIL CARNATIONS! I'LL DROWN YOU IN THE BOWL!!
After the ACT next Saturday I'll hit the books. Your generous advice, lolcats, will go in the mix; thanx! I hope you are not planning on copywriting it. lol</p>
<p>The trouble with the Subject Tests is that there is no way of finding out what exactly went wrong on the real thing. I wonder if enough people put pressure on the College Board maybe it would start providing at least SAS, if not QAS for the Subject Tests too.</p>
