May 2010- Literature

<p>I wasn’t positive about it, but I was actually pretty comfortable with the test. I finished with plenty of time left. But thinking back, I’m kind of nervous about it… When will the results be available?</p>

<p>Embargo lifted! Which do you think was the hardest passage/poem?</p>

<p>what did the birds being related to clocks in that poem mean?</p>

<p>I said something about not aware of their future or something…</p>

<p>ugh! i put that their purpose is purely mechanical :(</p>

<p>and in the poem about the wife writing a poem talking about her death…the question about the “knot untying” referred to her getting a divorce?</p>

<p>princeton- i got the same thing</p>

<p>mechanical is opposite of nature, or that is what I thought</p>

<p>I figured it had something to do with time since it was a clock</p>

<p>Was that the same question with “sentence” if so I put marriage and death</p>

<p>i thought that because our purpose as humans is not mechanical, animals’ purpose must be.</p>

<p>corey–actually it was a different question. the question referred to “line 12” which talked about the knot untying and what stage of the speaker’s life that line is talking about. i put her getting a divorce, but it may have been death.</p>

<p>princeton- check your pms</p>

<p>I did put death for that, she had no intentions of being seperated from him except by death.</p>

<p>As this seems to have the undertones a love poem I doubt she would write to him about expecting to have a divorce.</p>

<p>i thought it would be something about how she would not be worthy cause it had something about how “when she seems” or something</p>

<p>That was a fun test.</p>

<p>It was really easy for me. I had like 15 minutes left.
I know I got the last one wrong though. Exhortatory I thought meant more praising then ‘encouraging’. Erg.
it was marriage (tying the ‘knot’) and death i do believe…
She had no intentions of being separated from him otherwise. And for the bird one I put ‘spy on the animals’. Either that or constant motion lol. The rest of them didn’t really make sense.</p>

<p>so was exhoratory the answer to that one?</p>

<p>Me thinks so. Only one that fits.</p>

<p>On the excerpt from The Yellow Wallpaper, what did you put for what the repeated “oh well” statements meant?</p>

<p>You mean the “what can one do?” all that?
There were like 2 questions dealing with that. One that was like all ‘except this’ and then another.</p>
