<p>i think the way they framed the question is</p>
<p>this poem has all of the elements of _____ poem EXCEPT</p>
<p>and i chose a rhyming couplet</p>
<p>because the last two lines didn't rhyme</p>
<p>I was stuck between those two. But also the mother did offer them to Dee previously, and then offered them to Maggie afterwards. I don't think she would have done that unless she realized after offering them to Dee that Maggie would actually use them better than Dee, which is possible. And yes, your answer is supported in the text as well. Maybe I am overthinking it, but she doesn't exactly do something obvious to say she doesn't want to hang them up, imo. Here is the text:</p>
<p>Everyday</a> Use by Alice Walker</p>
<p>2/3 of the way downish</p>
<p>WOW YOU FOUND THE TEXT</p>
<p>oh also another question was that dee gets angry at the mother as time goes on, right?</p>
<p>and i'm really scared now that maggie might have been self-denying instead of diplomatic</p>
<p>oh and also the first paragraph DID EVERYTHING EXCEPT hint at why dee wangero wanted the quilt?</p>
<p>Yeah I got the answer that Dee gets more angry with her mother as time goes on. And it could have been diplomatic, since she was diplomatic by solving the problem, however also in the question was "compared to her sister, how is Maggie best described?" And I think that if you compare the two of them, self-denying vs. self-centered makes more sense in context than diplomatic vs. conflict creating (or whatever the opposite of diplomatic is). It is another one that I think could go either way, even though I like my answer more :).</p>
<p>Yes, the first paragraph did everything but hint at why she wanted it.</p>
<p>Did someone get the answer "personification and apostrophe?"</p>
<p>Don't remember from which passage..</p>
<p>Yes that was right.</p>
<p>yeahhh cept i totally guessed on that passage</p>
<p>i just chose it cuz Sleep was capitalized</p>
<p>i have no idea what apostrophe was</p>
<p>but that was the poem i had no idea about</p>
<p>like lines 1-6 was about the need for sleep?</p>
<p>and then how was light characterized</p>
<p>and what the day represented</p>
<p>oh and for the self-denying/diplomatic one, it could also be compared to diplomatic v. hot-tempered, which the narrator described dee as</p>
<p>I thought it was kind of hard. Kaplan's practice test was superhard so I really don't know. Damn.</p>
<p>Soooo for the uberconfusing Shakespeare one..</p>
<p>Was the answer that he didn't feel appreciated by his contemporaries?</p>
<p>And was the piece of writing meant to be read by an actor?</p>
<p>and there was something about being self critical, though i don't remember what</p>
<p>yeah i said read by an actor</p>
<p>but i said that he was the best in his age</p>
<p>but not as good as shakespeare</p>
<p>not sure about that</p>
<p>and two ages= his age and shakespeare's?</p>
<p>i didn't get what the poem meant about Romans</p>
<p>but for half the time, i kept thinking that shakespeare must have wrote it</p>
<p>cuz there was no sonnet by him or anything</p>
<p>For the sleep one, light represented the opposite of what he desired, which was darkness.</p>
<p>I got critical self-examination for an answer, but I wasn't 100% sure. I also got that he was the best in his age but not as good as shakespeare. And for the two ages I got his and shakespeare's, but that was because nothing else really made sense to me.</p>
<p>I put the one about the dumb swan or duck or whatever for the 1st couplet question.</p>
<p>The other one what no rhyming couplet I think. The last two lines of the sonnet didn't rhyme.</p>
<p>Damn, the Dee question was self-centered? shoot. Well there goes one. There's probably like 10 more cuz the Shakespeare one was hard as hell! :P</p>
<p>Quilt passage</p>
<p>Sleep poem</p>
<p>Obasam passage</p>
<p>Shakespeare poem</p>
<p>Love poem</p>
<p>Do you guys remember the other two?</p>
<p>anyone remember the question about Dee which asked what the irony was in her double names? I said something like "she embraces a culture that may not even quilt," which I don't feel is correct in retrospect.</p>
<p>also, for the very last question on the test, was the answer something like "the speaker feels that his love is more genuine"?</p>
<p>Yes! It was difficult! I got 700+ on all my Princeton Review tests except for one, and 700+ on a Kaplan test, thus I'll be disappointed if I didn't get 700+ but I really have no idea what to expect.</p>
