<p>That reminds me, was it a petrarchian sonnet or a sonnet with irregular rhymes?
I also put trifles and troubles, and loneliness.</p>

22

<p>i’m not sure how much it would’ve helped, but I havent taken AP english lit yet so I wasn’t too sure about some of the questions, including that one. I think I put a sonnet with irregular rhymes.</p>

23

<p>I didn’t put that the toyes and cares were “trifles and troubles” because the lines were about contrast.</p>

24

<p>Isn’t that a pretty big contrast? Trifles don’t matter, troubles do enough to trouble you.</p>

25

<p>Okay, I got that one wrong then.</p>

27

<p>What did you guys answer for Piano after war passage?</p>

28

<p>I thought it was pretty easy - not heavyhanded with obscure literary terms. But I’m not as confident as I’d like to be though. Still hoping for an 800!</p>

29

<p>So what did you answer for in which line turning point occurs?</p>

30

<p>“But suddenly!” Line 9-10 or something.</p>

<p>I had trouble with the very first question, it sort of threw me off, but I can’t remember what it was right now.</p>

<p>And then the question that asked how we could tell he was projecting the scene in the future - future tense? It seemed a little too obvious to be true.</p>

31

<p>I got the same thing as you. The other options didn’t really make sense to me so I pickled that.</p>

32

<p>I put future tense.</p>

33

<p>What about thawed eyes?</p>

34

<p>I said crying. It sort of made sense to me because the line went on to say “turned to ice”… thawed, tears, ice… water stuff…</p>

35

<p>same as above</p>

36

<p>Yes I also choose crying but was it the one related to music or just the unbounded crying?</p>

37

<p>Cried for the music.</p>

38

<p>Those fruits are children
Right? Also the seasons represented winter?</p>

39

<p>I said cried for the dead soldiers because he was crying because they could not hear the music and were gone.</p>

40

<p>Agree with everything in this thread, thus far. I got, like, three in a row on the Hamlet-related play though, so I’m guessing at least -2 from that passage, and I’m guessing a -6 overall. Just a feeling. </p>

<p>Based off that January 2011 link, I’d say some of the passages were re-used? Weird.</p>
