***December 2013 - Literature***

<p>Compiled list:</p>

<p>I, II, and III
I only
Drinking in public
Jasmine is representative of what’ll happen to her during marriage
Georgiana is turned into an object by being called a young person
Warmth
Exaggeratedly polite
Uncle’s problem in a bigger context
Caesar pretending to condone something he actually criticizes
Indian girl is used to gender inequality
Arc of a human being
Social satire
Pronounced mocking</p>

<p>@log, I see that I’m probably wrong about that one. It still seems like Caesar is sort of saying that even if he did all the bad/lustful stuff, he could still be a good guy if he balanced it out with other stuff. Probably not the best answer though. Also, doesn’t the phrase “trade a kingdom for a joke” mean he’s allowing for neglecting stately duties?</p>

<p>Also what about the broomstick passage?</p>

<p>i ran out of time towards the end so i had to really rush the broomstick passage.
i remember one of my answers had hypocrisy
also
human being</p>

<p>Also:</p>

<p>Social satire and pronounced mocking?</p>

<p>That was for the podsnaps passage right?
I put social satire but for the speakers tone I put mildly disapproving. I thought pronounced mockery was a bit too harsh</p>

<p>I think either mildly disapproving/musically fun but socially awk OR pronounced mockery/intimidating and tedious. If the tone of the passage (as I interpret it) is super sarcastic and anti-Podsnaps, then there’s no way the author (Dickens) will give them a break at the end and say it’s musically enjoyable for Georgiana.</p>

<p>You guys have a good recollection. The language they used through the Podcast passage threw me way off, and I was breezing through the passages&poems,…if there’s any one problem with lit is that interpretation of the content sways from objective to subjective to figurative etc…who knows how many ways I’ve messed up. All the best to u guyz tho. My consolation is the similarity I have to ur answers goldenvictory and log123…I think the Cesar one…might be what you said too… The waiting begins.</p>

<p>Yeah, english is pretty subjective. It gets quite confusing…I just finished my math 2 and was very tired and did not give a crap. I did well on math…lets see about this stupid english test. </p>

<p>May the scan-trons be ever in your favour!</p>

<p>Jay</p>

<p>Just remembered:</p>

<p>-For the aunt one, clash of wills and reconciliation</p>

<p>Anyone remember the poem before the broomstick one? I can barely remember it all.</p>

<p>^The one which had “adieu” in it?</p>

<p>I thought the poem was the hardest on the whole test. What did you put what about he thinks about line 3? I put “awe”.</p>

<p>@Girofalcon,</p>

<p>Yeah, that sounds right. I also put awe, and remember putting some stuff about stability and permanence.</p>

<p>Updated list:
I, II, and III
I only
Drinking in public
Jasmine is representative of what’ll happen to her during marriage
Georgiana is turned into an object by being called a young person
Warmth
Exaggeratedly polite
Uncle’s problem in a bigger context
Caesar pretending to condone something he actually criticizes
Indian girl is used to gender inequality
Arc of a human being
Social satire
Awe
Clash of wills followed by reconciliation</p>

<p>Also why didn’t the Jasmine symbolize the clash between two cultures?</p>

<p>I don’t know why that would be true. Jasmine was in her hair during the marriage and also her husband’s pet name for her—seems like the Jasmine in the beginning represents her new married lifestyle (less feudal).</p>

<p>the aunt one with the clash and reconciliation stumped me
do you have to article or remember what the aunts name was by any chance so i could find it online?</p>

<p>for the aunt and boy passage does anyone remember an answer with impatience or mischievousness and I thought Jasmine represented the new identity she would have to take?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was a social satire, since they were talking about her being a socially awkward, but throwing a big party for her (ironic).
And what was the main character’s name in boy and aunt story? Essie?</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the one which asked about why she called him 'feller?</p>

<p>I did get mischevious—I think it was that she found his antics of walking around the porch as though on a tightrope indicative of such a trait. I also got the new identity and social satire. She called him “feller” out of combative affection (or so I thought).</p>

<p>I, II, and III

Combative affection
Tightrope walking is indicative of mischievous character
She’s a camellia because her youth has passed
Her lover/boyfriend is compared to the weather (“cold front”)
The “sensuous maryland spring” is the normal iambic lines; the cold front is the “variations” and “tensions”</p>

<p>@Goldenvictory Okay good I put combative affection as well. Is this the first time you’ve taken SAT Literature?</p>
