May 2009 Lit SAT II

<p>I asked that, I’m not too sure.</p>

<p>I don’t think I put to connect the beginning with the middle, to interject a comment, or to show how poetry is rigid in format which nature is not, nor is it to connect the middle to the end.</p>

<p>I don’t remember what i put though…</p>

<p>lol, I took this exact test last October and got an 800. Lazy collegeboard…</p>

<p>I’ll try to answer some of you guys’ questions: </p>

<p>The first passage was a revealing monologue </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>uncaring</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put this</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>He was referring to himself (poet’s perspective)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>correct</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Correct.</p>

<p>Harhar, for serious? That’s really funny.</p>

<p>no way lolcats…
that’s ridiculous!</p>

<p>it’s kind of cruel for someone retaking for a higher score. I mean they will know some really quickly but they still could use the same faulty logics on the ones they got wrong last time XD (or they could realize their mistakes lol)</p>

<p>Woman who owns store (Louisa + Joe)
-confided and free
-peculiar and special
-uptight about personal space
-NOT appalled/impatient (debated)
-fairy web shows shes so organized or something
-onlooker
-lace showed whatever
-Louisa: personal and habitual</p>

<p>Does anybody besides me disagree with these?</p>

<p>lol.</p>

<p>That’s what my friend says…</p>

<p>I can’t help unless I know the other answer choices for those questions XD</p>

<p>I’ll be honest I’m not sure about it. Lol</p>

<p>I didn’t get 1 or 2, so I don’t know which question they match with</p>

<p>For 3, I did get it, the question asks what her OCD actions demonstrate? (She has a need to have control of her surroundings).</p>

<p>Which of the following cannot be implied from either the boy or the girl’s reaction X: Not appalled/impatient (?)</p>

<p>Some question here about fairywebs…lol</p>

<p>The onlooker answer is the one which is about this sentence or two that describe’s Louisa’s face after she tells him “I’ll clean it up after you’re gone” - apparently it’s from an onlooker’s perspective? I swore it was from Joe’s.</p>

<p>I think the lace thing talks about how he feels like can’t move or something, but I swore that wasn’t a question?</p>

<p>Plus, fastidious describes Louisa, that’s earlier.</p>

<p>I don’t remember if I put personal and habitual. Was energetic and something else an option?</p>

<p>on the wheat passage, was it “another day is important for reasons oher than the weather” or “another day exists only in an imagined future.” i was rushing the last passage.</p>

<p>Choklit, i put that it didn’t mean “a terribly bad day or a good day” for that one :s</p>

<p>What characterized the first paragraph of the country vs. city passage?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put “the other day is important for reasons other than the weather,” since that “other day” refers to the day when the bundles of golden wheat are sent to town.</p>

<p>The “fair days” refers to the good-weathered days when the wheat grows.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you remember the options?</p>

<p>^ for the wheat passage, I believe that both of the choices you put down are correct</p>

<p>Lolcats, if you ever see this, I was wondering if you remember habitual and personal was true for sure?</p>

<p>I’m not certain at all if the answers for that one passage are very accurate. I mean, the answer I just gave, counteracts it, lol.</p>

<p>Nervous and annoyed was not an answer in the list either D:</p>

<p>Do you remember what the answer was to the lace or carpet questions?</p>

<p>habitual and personal was for which passage? </p>

<p>I don’t remember the lace or carpet question, if you could refresh me with it and some choices I might be able to tell you.</p>

<p>Habitual and personal was apparently for Louisa and Joe. I remember putting something about energetic, but I was probably wrong, now that I think about it. But I swore we were supposed to describe her cleaning habits…I thought her OCD was represented by the other adjective with energetic.</p>

<p>Lace and carpet question are both for Louisa also.</p>

<p>I think for lace about the very end, why does is he afraid to move about in the lace that is Louisa’s room?</p>

<p>The carpet question goes along the lines of, Louisa’s cleaning of the carpet after Joe leaves shows…? (It’s not that he brings in the outside world, right? There’s like no way to prove that she never goes out)</p>

<p>I honestly don’t remember the exact choices though, I was wondering if you just MIGHT.</p>

<p>is a 730 for this test good? (this is a serious question-usually i hate when people ask if something is good when it seems to be, but i have no experience with the subject tests)</p>

<p>does anyone know where the first passage about the crazy devil man is from?
i’ve been looking for it everywhere</p>

<p>Also, anybody on Dragon’s teeth?</p>

<p>I’ve read a lengthy explanation of it, but in context, I thought what it meant was retribution. I could be wrong…(I probably am…)</p>

<p>Dragon’s Teeth
Subjects of civil strife; whatever rouses citizens to rise in arms. The allusion is to the dragon that guarded the well of A’res. Cadmus slew it, and sowed some of the teeth, from which sprang up the men called Spartans, who all killed each other except five, who were the ancestors of the Thebans. Those teeth which Cadmus did not sow came to the possession of </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put down retribution, but it’s wrong. It was regeneration.</p>
