<p>what did “twas but a dream with us” mean</p>
<p>i said it was A, like she was disappointed that it couldn’t have lasted or something</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the love poem was?</p>
<p>um no wonder i couldn’t understand the prose</p>
<p>the tan callous experience passage</p>

<p>For the twas but a dream question I said that it was a joy that could never be fully expressed, because the joy of coming to this spot with her love never happened since he died at sea. Not sure though.</p>
<p>sir john suckling- to lady e.c. at her going out of england</p>
<p>that’s the love poem where he can’t express</p>
<p>i think there were some question that asked the meaning of lines 11-15, 16-18 or something like that</p>
<p>anyone remember those answers?</p>
<p>I said feigned=pretended, and don’t remember what I said for the joy could ne ver fully be expressed question… but I feel like my answer had “desire” in it. I think that was the most difficult passage for me.</p>
<p>and i think one of the last missing passages</p>
<p>joy kogawa- obasan</p>
<p>the one about spiders/attic/prairie dust storms</p>
<p>Oh, that was hard too… I think for the things hanging from the ceiling I said “indistinguishable objects that had disintegrated” although I was very tempted by “bats”… I didn’t want to say that it was mangled spiderwebs with dead bugs in them because I couldn’t visualize that… that question came down to intuition for me. </p>
<p>How many did you guys omit? I couldn’t bring myself to omit any… I’m allergic or something.</p>

<p>A lot of these are questionable.</p>
<p>Can you please tell me what the critical self-examination question was? I don’t remember it at all…</p>
<p>I ommited 3, I think I already know I got like 5 wrong so whoo hoo I have to take it again :(</p>
<p>The critical self-examination question was something like: The narrator wants to be unconscious to escape from what? Another answer choice was guilt, and another was superficial curiosity. I wasn’t really sure, but said critical self-examination because he created an image of his mind violently burrowing into his body or something.</p>
<p>I omitted 2, and I know of like 2 or 3 I probably got wrong, but I guessed randomly on a few of the Obasan ones, so I probably got a bunch of those wrong. I’d take anything over 700, which you can get with up to like 10 wrong, so I am optimistic :)</p>
<p>If somebody wants to get a compilation going from the other four passages that would be awesome, I know some answers but am pretty spent.</p>
<p>Ooh hm I think I also put critical self-examination then, it sounds familiar, unless there was an answer that had to do with escaping from reality…</p>

<p>Thanks icecreamer,</p>
<p>Another one for the genuine vs. fake lament, the question is something like when the narrator says “And so pray think; or if you 'd entertain”, what is he saying? And I answered that he was asking his love to try to accept that his love for her is too deep to be expressed through tears. </p>
<p>Again for that poem, there was a question that was like “what does the narrator think he is most like?” And I was pretty sure the answer was good wine, because in the poem he said that good wine didn’t need to bring attention to itself or something.</p>
<p>Also there was a question regarding the image of the burning wood, don’t remember exactly though.</p>
<p>Also, for the Maine grass passage, unique pessimism was an answer choice that went with elemental human experience and typical New England woman. We aren’t sure of the answer, I said unique pessimism.</p>
<p>But, I am fairly certain that the answer to a different question in that passage was “it showed the true depth of her suffering”. </p>
<p>Another question in that passage was the one about how the woman is compared to some ancient woman or legend or something, and the question asks about this comparisons significance. I answered that it showed that her suffering is one that has always existed in humanity and that transcends time or something.</p>
<p>i thought the spiders are indelicate was
I understatement of her feelings</p>
<p>and III in contrast to what the children say: “spiders are creepy” or something like that</p>
<p>i don’t remember what II was but i didn’t mark that</p>
<p>Hate to repeat myself, but no one really answered my question when I last posted it. </p>
<p>Is this exam at all similar to AP Lang passages and exams? What would the primary differences be?</p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who can help me out.</p>
