June 2006 - US History

<p>um, i did not know what taylorism was. oh well.</p>

<p>I remember that art expo question! I just stared at it and had no idea... i left it blank</p>

<p>yes it was cubism. i loved the art history questions (took that class this past year)</p>

<p>For the poem one, I put encourage union movement or something. And Mainstreet was the answer to the question about 1920s criticism. Also, Horatio Alger wrote about - creating own future something like that?</p>

<p>Me, too. I left the art questions blank, except for the Hudson River Valley school. My prep books really didn't go over that stuff, and neither did my textbook.</p>

<p>lol amina i didn't know what taylorism was either but it was either that or "promote cooperationg among workers" and that one just didn't seem right to me, so i put taylorism even though i didn't know what it was lol</p>

<p>The answer was Taylorism- 100% sure (Unfortunately I did not put that)</p>

<p>The Armory Show of 1913, officially known as The International Exhibition of Modern Art, was the first large exhibition of such works in America. The exhibit challenged and changed both the academic and public definition and attitude toward art, and by doing so altered the course of history for American artists.</p>

<p>Im pretty sure the answer was realism</p>

<p>samething Gxing, but im abit eh~eh on it..</p>

<p>i dont think it was cooperation with workers... more like harsh labor... 5 mins to eat then nothing for the rest of the day ..?</p>

<p>"yes it was cubism. i loved the art history questions (took that class this past year)"</p>

<p>Oh darn it. I had an inkling it was cubism, but I really couldn't narrow down any of the answers. I know next to nothing about art.</p>

<p>Anyone positive on Main Street as an answer?</p>

<p>From Amazon.com:</p>

<p>"in this classic satire of small-town America"</p>

<p>Written by Sinclair Lewis. I'm pretty sure Main Street is the answer.</p>

<p>What was the first state added on the one question? And AA doesnt benefit women right? Stimson Doctrine or w/e b/c of Japan inv. of manchuria?</p>

<p>realism wasn't even a choice, was it? if so, i overlooked it because the armory show was definitely in the 20th century, while realism was in the 19th, right before impressionism. OH, and Marcel Duchamp, a DADAIST/SURREALIST, exhibited work at the show, 'nude descending the staircase no.2 ', that was considered cubist/futurist, vinny.</p>

<p>i need to do that more, Shazilla. haha.</p>

<p>great, what other ones were pretty tricky? - How about the one where speculators was a possible answer? It was asking something about depreciation during the revolutionary war</p>

<p>and skeet daddy- it was ohio</p>

<p>char, i totally went blank on that one.</p>

<p>Wouldn't it -not- be speculators, because the depreciation of money meant that speculators could buy more bonds from impoverished people and then redeem them later at a higher price?</p>

<p>I said that it angered the soldiers of the army because I remember my textbook saying something about the reason why Washington's forces suffered at Valley Forge was because merchants were more willing to sell to the British because the British currency was more sound.</p>

<p>Yes, that is what I now think- I left 2 blank, and probably got 1 or 2 wrong (including that particular question)</p>

<p>i put spectators...i'm pretty sure that's right. what about the one with what is true about the souther economy. i put there were more small farms than plantations, i'm completely unsure about that one.</p>
