***December 2013 - Literature***

<p>@Girofalcon yes. Just remembering more for Prosody 101:</p>

<p>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>I put she passed her youth as well. I skipped tension. Do you know the curve on this thing? I’m just really worried I didn’t do too well. The book I used said a -30 is a 630, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>Haha wow… I took this test as a filler and probably did better than on Math II</p>

<p>Can anyone think of more questions or confirm any more of the answers in one of the longer lists? </p>

<p>I feel like there were other semi-difficult ones but I don’t remember them.</p>

<p>What was the I,II,III question like?</p>

<p>I remember in the aunt and son story, there was a question which asked about the cooking scene (why she put lard, etc.)… Anyone know what I’m talking about?</p>

<p>In the broomstick passage there was a small section where the guy was talking about human nature and being hypocrites.</p>

<p>I don’t remember what the I, II, and III question was. The second part of your (Girofalcon) question–why she put in the lard and stuff–I remember that. Something like showing her meticulousness/sternness or something.</p>

<p>I also got a hypocrisy answer.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember any other answers to the questions on the passage about a broomstick? I think I found that one the most difficult.</p>

<p>Yeah, I put the terse cooking directions showed her efficient and practical style. (something along those lines)</p>

<p>Broomstick:</p>

<p>Something about animal nature mounted on rational nature
Can’t think of anything else, I read this one in about 30 seconds.</p>

<p>I, II, and III
I only
Drinking in public
Jasmine is representative of new identity
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
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”
Terse style represents efficiency
Hypocrisy in broomstick /human nature</p>

<p>is it just me or did anyone think this test was particularily hard out of all the literature tests so far? and if I got maybe 4 wrong or so on that compiled list… should i cancel my scores?</p>

<p>4 wrong is a 790. We should get at least 10 more answers up there before it’s a good idea to cancel.</p>

<p>Instead of choosing “Caesar pretends to condone something he actually criticizes” I remember putting something like “Caesar pretends to overlook Antony’s faults.”</p>

<p>@Tomatosprouts I’m 99% sure that wasn’t a choice. Perhaps you misread it.</p>

<p>@goldenvictory Maybe it’s the same answer as yours but I just remembered it differently. I’m pretty sure there was an answer choice with “overlook” in it though. No?</p>

<p>i also read the "meditation upon a broomstick"passage in about 30 seconds, causing me to omit the last 2 questions on the test. however, i thought that was the easiest passage. </p>

<p>there was one question in the indian passage asking about her two names as Jyoti and Jasmine. i think the question asked what did that represent?
i put something along the lines of balance among two values</p>

<p>I remember that question (Jasmine/Jyoti) and I think I put somehting along the lines of contrast or change in value sets. Unsure exactly what I put though.</p>

<p>do you remember any other questions from the aunt passage? i found it here</p>

<p>[Let</a> the Dead Bury Their Dead and Other Stories - Randall Kenan - Google Books](<a href=“Let the Dead Bury Their Dead and Other Stories - Randall Kenan - Google Books”>Let the Dead Bury Their Dead and Other Stories - Randall Kenan - Google Books)</p>

<p>In the aunt passage, it asked something about “tightrope”. I don’t remember what I put or the answer choices.</p>

<p>Is the curve really that bad? I thought -6 or -7 was an 800.</p>

<p>not sure about the curve, but yea i think we already mentioned the “tightrope” question being mischievous</p>
