<p>I was confused about the girl and her mother..</p>
<p>Was she a:
Black author
northern tourist
revolutionary feminist
spoiled child</p>
<p>I know it wasn't the last one...</p>
<p>i said revolutionary feminist</p>
<p>did anyone know the really hard one about interpreting line 6,
something with scant and former??
it was in the poem with the wives and husbands</p>
<p>i had trouble with both. im realizing now that the whole thing was probably discrimination against women authors, not just black authors. so im offiicially just dumb lol</p>
<p>I thought that one was really hard too... I completely guessed</p>
<p>How about that one passage about the woman and husbands and infidelity?
Anybody remember anything from that?</p>
<p>maributt-scant and former have to do with giving them less money...I think the correct answer is B or C...that passage was Emilia's monologue from Othello that I had to memorize, haha</p>
<p>I had NO idea what the second poem with the bowl and carnations was about. Could someone post answers for that part please?</p>
<p>I thought the answer to the girl and her mother was that she was a Black writer. She was definitely a tourist, but I wasn't sure if she was from the North...and I didn't get a feminist vibe from that passage as much.</p>
<p>Oh! And for the last bit about the newly married couple was one of the answers delineation of character? Or was it social allegory?</p>
<p>I said black author. You definitely couldn't tell from the passage! I just assumed black author since they were talking about separatism and how "the grass is always greener on the other side"</p>
<p>I don't think it was discrimination against woman authors, though, because the passage chiefly talked about blacks. </p>
<p>Oh, and what exactly was the "scant" question... I can't remember.</p>
<p>ok, good, i got the scant question right then</p>
<p>wait, it didn't say the lady wrote anything did it?</p>
<p>the newly married couple one was an EXCEPT question, i put social allegory</p>
<p>i guessed on one of the bowl of flowers questions. it had to do with the first and second stanzas and how they're related</p>
<p>I put social allegory, because when I think allegory, I think George Orwell's Animal Farm, and I didn't see that piece as having any similarities to that. Allegory is supposed to reveal a hidden meaning, but what would the hidden meaning have been?</p>
<p>How do you think the curve will be? I think I missed quite a few...</p>
<p>The one with the bowl and the flowers... It basically meant that imperfections are necessary (which was an answer to one of the questions, I believe). That's all I can remember. Does anyone remember any other questions for that passage?</p>
<p>The curve for lit is usually good, because it's a hard test. I think in general you can miss 10 questions or so and still get in the upper 700s.</p>
<p>wrong!</p>
<p>literature is one of the precious few tests where an 800 is still 99th percentile (along with bio and math 1).</p>
<p>in the official study guide for all SAT subject tests, the scaled score conversion table is as follows:</p>
<p>61: 800
60: 800
59: 800
58: 790
57: 790
56: 780
55: 770
54: 760
53: 750
52: 750
51: 740
50: 730
49: 720
48: 710
47: 710
46: 700</p>
<p>so there. it's definitely very hard to get an 800.</p>
<p>was the answer to the scant and former one the choice about husbands not giving as much as usual out of spite?</p>
<p>yeah, i remembered reading the word "despite" once as an archaic form of spite, and there were two choices that had "out of spite" and i did the one about not providing as much as he did formerly</p>
<p>This is a stupid question, but I can't remember...were there 61 questions or 62?
Are SAT subject tests always out of 61?? Sorry, this was my first time taking it.</p>
<p>ok i agree on black writer, money out of spite, imperfection is necessary</p>
<p>how about the one about the imperfection poem and the connection between teh paragraphs? i put metaphors relating them or something. and that some poem, the question of what it didn't have i put epic simile. </p>
<p>the love poem about the guy trying to be original...what did "Knowledge" mean..i put her realizing his misery.</p>
<p>and then in the one about the women and her husband getting in a fight while on their "honey moon"...what did betrayed stand for? i think i put..they realized each other smistakes.</p>
<p>i dont agree on the black writer thing now that i think about it. the narrator never mentions that the person visiting is a writer, themselves. </p>
<p>but yes, i agree with her realizing his misery, because he talks about her pitying him. </p>
<p>and i also put something along the lines of, they realized what was dissapointing about each other, because it wasnt just one of them specifically hurting another.</p>
<p>yeah i put the one about metaphors relating to an abstract idea and the realize his misery one. what about the question about the muse? i had it down between knowledge and invention</p>
