passage 1 is more disgusted (something along those lines)

<p>– Long P –</p>

<p>Talent/Practice
to examine a psychological experiment
“account” = explained
blurred cause and effect</p>

<p>Boy and Author
Argentinian author and author reading stories aloud
Recount unusual experience –> new understanding
happy in his subordinate role (liked judgement of Borge)
author’s impression with reality
apprehending –> perceiving
author’s lack of control
valuable for readers make connections w/ past readings</p>

<p>Girl
father wanted her to go on the trip “to learn about her non-English relatives”.
deepen knowledge of family past?
“freedom” means “releasing emotional burdens”
appalled = different viewpoints have equal values
likes her grandfather because “he talked about the present”
felt “impatience” and “disdain” for parent’s nostalgia
“loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence</p>

<p>Zoo
products of human culture
condition: state of being
spectatorship: strong disapproval
savvy about nature of zoos
curiosities on display for audience
unconcerned with debates about zoo
fun comes at the expense of real insight of animals
do not offer authentic experience of wild animals
passage 1 makes argument that passage 2 finds unpersuasive </p>

<p>------------ * my answers under the cut *</p>

<p>SC
++ it was empirical im pretty sure
the last question was either discursive, spare or diffuse :/</p>

<p>GIRL PASSAGE
++ Identical temperament dealing with hostile comments ??
++ old ways = snobbishly </p>

<p>**INDEPENDENT FILM SHORT PASSAGE **
++ tone - resigned ??
++ supercede by monetary ??
++ critigue // minor</p>

<p>ZOO
++ Innocuous form of family entertainment</p>

<p>Savvy was how would the author of passage 2 respond to the claim by author 1 that people were being taken advantage of. If they were savvy to the nature of zoos, they already understood that it was not like the nature.</p>

<p>The subordinate for argentina whas when he constantly named Borges’ name.</p>

<p>Also…was there a question about whythe girl in Austria said she’d view her relatives more fondly from home?</p>

<p>Or something like that. |D</p>

<p>something like independent films are no longer popular.
hollywood is taking over small independent films
independent films came from talent search . . .</p>

<p>Innocuous form of family entertainment
^
What question was this for? :/</p>

<p>&</p>

<p>passage 1 is more disgusted (something along those lines)
^
I don’t get this either. xD</p>

<p>for the independent films, what were the question and exact answer for the answer “disgusted”?</p>

<p>Wow…people remember the questions? I only can recall the gist of each…Lol!</p>

<p>And make sure the SAT Police don’t catch all of you hahahah</p>

<p>Eh? How is Passage 1 from the “Films” thing “more disgusted”?!?! I didn’t think he was showing disgust at ALL; rather, I believe the author of Passage 2 viewed the situation more optimistically…</p>

<p>I believe superceded by monetary concerns was correct.</p>

<p>So I’m guessing the Darwin and Agassiz one was experimental? Damn I spent time on that.</p>

<p>I put spare, seems like the best choice. Can’t be discursive though it could be diffuse.</p>

<p>Eh? How is Passage 1 from the “Films” thing “more disgusted”!!! I didn’t think he was showing disgust at ALL; rather, I believe the author of Passage 2 viewed the situation more optimistically…

<p>indepedent film
i believe the author of passage one is a bit down about it
thats why i said his tone was resigned (first question of that passage)</p>

<h2>++ critigue // minor</h2>

<p>critique// minor</p>

<p>the author of passage 1 criticizes a (phenomenon/incident) that the author of passage 2 regards as minor incident…</p>

<p>something like that</p>
