<p>i second that ginpa poetry is *****</p>
<p>sigh.... retaking next month...</p>
<p>virtuoso_735: I got the same on the husband question.</p>
<p>I picked "narcotic" for poppy, too...but not too sure. Cuz poppies = opium = lulling you to sleep.
100% sure the guy was a politician.<br>
The herb was the "perfect type".</p>
<p>The stiches poem was the hardest for me, by farrrr. I said that the poem reflected the author's changing attitude, that the poem was about how satisfaction was being happy with what you already had, and ...I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE KUDZU VINE MEANT. I think I said it was an example of something that was aggressive but still succeeded? Definitely got that one wrong, though.</p>
<p>i don't know, "narcotic" was a tempting answer, but somehow it doesn't seem appropriate for a standardized test. I think it was an answer thrown in to lure you. I picked "poison."</p>
<p>See, I thought that too... but poppy really seemed to allude to a narcotic, just in context of the poem... so I picked that one. Poison was tempting though... I thought it was supposed to catch you, because the previous question was about death...</p>
<p>I put poison.</p>
<p>I think patronises really was 'buys regularly'. Because a politician would employ honesty (regenerate, buy) regularly rather than really use it.</p>
<p>Do they have curves for the Literature SATII?</p>
<p>I'm thinking of taking the Lit test in June and I was wondering if the majority of the questions are "meaning" questions or "how the author means" questions (ie. DIDLS)?
thanks.</p>
<p>i just wished they never got rid of satii writing...T_T the only thing im good at...</p>
<p>there were hardly any questions about literary devices</p>
<p>yeah, me too (about the writing) it's really the only SAT2 -thing I can do (and probably german) I really hope most colleges consider the writing like an SAT2...sigh</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought it was kinda hard also. Well, not just hard, but "weird." I didn't think it was like Kaplan's tests at all.</p>
<p>But, um, yeah, I put narcotics for that one too. It reminded me of Wizard Of Oz, when the Witch was drugging the flowers to make Dorothy fall asleep...>_></p>
<p>What did yall put for the one, I don't remember which passage it was for, but it said "Which one of the following is true about the passage?" And it stated different literary elements... I ended up putting "The poem is written in free verse" because I didn't think the other ones were true, and although the poem rhymed sporadically, it didn't have a set rhyming scheme (it was like ABACBDBCD vs AABBCC or ABABCDCD).</p>
<p>yes!! wizard of oz...that is definately what i was thinking of... that and opium...probably more the opium, really...and people poisoning themselves with opium like amy tan's grandmother, and ...sir arthur conan doyle?? right? you can see how I get distracted during tests. It is a problem.
Not in free verse. I said there were 4 distinct rhymes (or something like that...), because each stanza had a set of 4 rhymes...eh?</p>
<p>thought it was blank verse</p>
<p>hahah i said blank verse
but that's cause i just didn't know period</p>
<p>Yeah, blank verse is what I put then. Dunno why I said free verse... I don't know...</p>
<p>idameyer - there were definitely rhymes but I couldn't make out a pattern to the rhymes (like, sometimes they rhymed every line, sometimes they rhymed every other line) and I was getting really frustrated so I was just like... bleh...</p>
<p>Do you remember what the poem was about? Maybe we can look it up online and examine it.</p>
<p>it was iambic pentameter and did not have a set ryhme scheme i think</p>
<p>O soft embalmer of the still midnight,
Shutting with careful fingers and benign
Our gloom-pleas'd eyes, embower'd from the light,
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close,
In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes,
Or wait the Amen ere thy poppy throws
Around my bed its lulling charities.
Then save me or the passed day will shine
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes:
Save me from curious conscience, that still hoards
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like the mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed casket of my soul.</p>
<p>If you want, I can try to track down the others. It's not hard.</p>
<p>blank verse.. i think</p>
