May 2008 - Literature

<p>BTW, good work with the compilation, deadmonkey. I will sleep easier after seeing a solid list of answers :)</p>

<p>It is past and present interdependent.
I don't know what the second thing that you're talking about is.
Time passing is shown by old letters and photographs (that was my answer).</p>

<p>Fetters was definitely rhyme. Maggie being diplomatic is one big question-mark.</p>

<p>Getting an 800 depends on a number of things: 1) curve 2) how many you got wrong 3) how many you omitted. The only way to ensure beyond a doubt that you got 800 is by getting every single question right. </p>

<p>HOWEVER... for the hell of it, on a typical scale for a lit test, only raw scores of 61, 60, and 59 will result in a score of 800. Good luck. ;)</p>

<p>"Here is another question I have, about the passage with the actor and the playwriting and stuff: when the author says "what Verse can do, he has perform'd in this, Which he presumes the most correct of his", what is he most nearly saying? I answered that he had stayed within established literary guidelines, or something, because he talked about being sick of the orderlyness of rhyme. But I wasn't sure, because I might have misunderstood that entire passage."</p>

<p>He met and exceeded all literary standards or whatever it was... I used POE for that one, don't think anything else made sense.</p>

<p>We get our scores in 3 weeks, so like the 24th.</p>

<p>Found the sleep poem. It's "To Sleep" by John Keats, which you can read here 636</a>. To Sleep. John Keats. The Oxford Book of English Verse</p>

<p>NO :( I don't want to see any of these passages ever again, grrrrumble!</p>

<p>Yeah what did the true meaning of "correct" mean?</p>

<p>i put "he stuck to the established literary guidelines"</p>

<p>bump, also wondering about "correct"</p>

<p>spikypufferfish and rhyn0 - "he stuck to the established literary guidelines"</p>

<p>sweeeet i think i put something like that</p>

<p>i remember the other choices were pretty similar too</p>

<p>anyone remember them?</p>

<p>what were other options?</p>

<p>I also said that</p>

<p>Is this exam at all similar to AP Lang objective exams?</p>

<p>i don't take AP, sorry :) </p>

<p>hey guys, for the passage where Mrs.__ talks about her husband and gets sad,
was the answer to one of them something like "casual conversation leading to serious talk" or "bringing someone to a special place"</p>

<p>(sorry, can't remember word for word..)</p>

<p>i think i said bringing someone to special place</p>

<p>I also said bringing someone to a special place. It seemed pretty right to me.</p>

<p>For the author passage, did feigned most nearly mean pretended?</p>

<p>yeah i said that too</p>

<p>found the maine passage</p>
