<p>I thought I did really well on the MC (only left one blank, finished 5 minutes or so before time was up). The essays....I think I aced the 1st one, semi-bombed the 2nd, and I have no clue about the 3rd. Absolutely none. I'm just hoping I didn't get all fallacial on the argument one...</p>
<p>The MC was hard :/</p>
<p>The first essay was good... the 2nd was HORRIBLE. Worst thing I ever wrote in my life.
The last one was good.</p>
<p>MC was totally diff than the ones in the PR book.. I'm going to kill PR now ):
The last passage was confusing, I left a few blank.</p>
<p>That second essay was annoying!</p>
<p>I loved the last essay to death. I just came this weekend from a Junior State of America (debate/politics) conference so it was awesome. I brought up a specific debate from the weekend, The Jungle, and Web blogs in my argument. I was really excited when I read the prompt lol.</p>
<p>Not mentioning one thing in your essay is definitely not going to kill you at all. You can assert anything if you can back it up adquetely.</p>
<p>What did everyone say about the second one though.</p>
<p>Anybody notice that the second passage had only 3 sentences?</p>
<p>BOMBED ESSAYS LIKE CRAZY HAHA
Thought MC was pretty easy.</p>
<p>I wish I had allotted more time to answer that 3rd question because it was so damn easy!!!! GAHHH I only produced a page and the examples were weak and unsubstantiated.:(</p>
<p>"Anybody notice that the second passage had only 3 sentences?"</p>
<p>Yeah, I noticed. I mentioned that in my essay. That was the worst thing ever.</p>
<p>^^I think we can get big points for mentioning that alone.</p>
<p>I definitely need those points :P</p>
<p>For the MCs, I felt the worst passage to read was the last one because I didn't even have that much time to spend on it.</p>
<p>I noticed...</p>
<p>Yes I actually mentioned that as well. What was your thesis for that essay (2nd)</p>
<p>Did the second passage also comprise of anaphora? Idk if that'd help but I included it in case.</p>
<p>I said it was parallelism...</p>
<p>I had no clue what that really, really long sentence in that passage was saying. I started rambling and added absolutely everything that I could think of. It was basically a collection of randomness.</p>
<p>yeah i think it did cause all the sentences were started out the same</p>
<p>ahh what was everyones main argument in the 2nd?</p>
<p>It included some metaphors, oxymorons and hyperbole. Ex. "Cold Comfort"</p>
<p>asyndetonic stream of consiousness</p>
<p>i said the author criticized money for being such a dominating factor in ppl's lives... somethin like that. i think that was the worst essay i've ever written.</p>
<p>i seriously thought that passage was more about people than about money..o well. i hate cb.</p>
