<p>The tightrope one was something like, what did him walking on the curb like a tightrope represent about his personality. I believe we agreed the answer was it showed he was mischievous.</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else on the tightrope question being mischievious. Anyone remember the questions from that shortish poem right before the end? I think it was like an ode (the one with awe as an answer with adieu in it).</p>
<p>Also, log123 and I have disagreed on the tone of the Podsnaps passage, pronounced mockery or mild disapproval. Anyone else care to give their input?</p>
<p>I had just about every answer on here, but for the drama I didn’t put that he was condoning; I thought he was clarifying his point, since he sets up conditions throughout the passage to then explain the point of his argument: that Antony is out of hand. I didn’t think he was pretending. I also went on NoFear Shakepeare, and the “translation” does sound more like he is clarifying.
Also, for the tight-rope, I think I put something along about the aunt being patronizing or his playfulness. I don’t see how simply going along the porch hints at his being evil.
Hardest one for me was the 1st passage since I didn’t know some of the lit devices.</p>
<p>I don’t remember anything about a tightrope. What are you guys talking about?</p>
<p>there was one question with the poem with “adieu” in it asking about a literary device.
it asked what the phrase “firey night” or something like that was</p>
<p>I forgot the question and passage but the answer choices were onamonapia, epithet, anti-thesis, and a fourth one I can’t remember. Do you all remember what you got for that one?</p>
<p>@underbiz I don’t remember the other choice sounding so plausible. Also, I thought the condoning one was pretty clear, because he does criticize all the stuff he pretends to be ok with. </p>
<p>The no fear shakespeare says: </p>
<p>Lets say, for arguments sake, that its not improper to fool around with Ptolemys wife, or to trade a kingdom for a joke. That its fine to engage in drinking matches with inferiors, or stumble drunkenly through the streets in the middle of the day, or get into fist fights with sweaty servants. Even if we said that this behavior suits himthough only a man with a perfect character could avoid being disgraced by such anticstheres no excuse for the extra work weve had to take on while hes been off amusing himself. </p>
<p>“for argument’s sake” “even if we said” “only a man with perfect character could avoid being disgraced”</p>
<p>I guessed epithet for that one. I don’t even know what an epithet is.</p>
<p>I really like Prosody 101! I hope my interpretation of it does not go too far from the Collegeboard one.
The test overall was not too hard(comparing to Barron’s mock tests), but somehow I got too nervous and finished right before time is called. I usually have twenty minutes left to go over the test again before I turn it in…Sad…
Any other international students who took Lit this Dec?</p>
<p>The College Board apparently likes Prosody 101 too! It’s been popping up on the Literature tests quite regularly.</p>

<p>I suppose no one else remembers questionslooks like there’s nothing to do but wait another few weeks.</p>
<p>Did anyone get “ironic hyperbole” for the Prosbys. I put that only because I thought that “friends of the soul” was not only exaggerating how much these friends mean to them but also is ironic since they easily substitute them for the people who can’t make it.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Also this might sound dumb but what on earth is an “arc of a human being”?</p>
<p>I think it’s the one in the broomstick passage, though I’m not so sure…</p>
<p>My thought process on the “arc of the human being” was that he was describing a human, and so an “arc” would be a cutout of a human being.</p>
<p>@underbiz101 I think I put the same answer for the first passage. My thought process was similar to yours.</p>
<p>Literally saw 0 mistakes in this thread yet got a 630.</p>
<p>I got a 620. I guess we were collectively incorrect XD. It’s a good thing I don’t need this score.</p>
<p>Lol. Is there any way to view correct answers?</p>
