May 2012 SAT II - Literature - College Confidential

<p>Hippo: the tone of the play? Was the answer definitely “serious/grave?”</p>

<p>If it was the passage about the woman and her husband, the mentioned temp. in the seasons.</p>

<p>What about the setting for piano after war what did tou guys choose? I do believe temp changes were mentioned</p>

<p>I think hot and cold were mentioned - there was “ice”, and because the room was “snug” you could infer it was warm. Also, the sun, the sunset, etc.</p>

<p>I don’t remember what I put for the tone of the play. Serious/grave sounds like it, but I don’t think that was actually the association. I’m pretty sure I said Flippant/Serious.</p>

<p>I put flippant and serious, the play seemed not so much a deep philosophical discussion but more like a off hand conversation punctuated by the spies awkwardly dying on cue.</p>

<p>I picked serious and grave too but now that I think about it, it was not at all serious.</p>

<p>I don’t think serious/grave was an answer choice.</p>

<p>For piano I said envisioning a piano recital because It’s in the future since the war is not yet over.</p>

<p>I choose cynical and compassionate nothing about seriousness</p>

<p>^That’s right. </p>

<p>The answer choice was serious/philosophical, grave was in another answer choice, iirc.</p>

<p>Was it flippant/grave then?</p>

<p>What is compassionate though? I didn’t really see any sympathy but it could have been the best answer.</p>

<p>Ah yes recital in a small room. Does anyone recall “rekindled pleasure”?</p>

<p>Whoops, meant that arrow to be directed for the imagining piano recital question. I still am sticking with flippant and serious.</p>

<p>Its the best answer in my opinion. I didn’t see any seriousness</p>

<p>I said rekindled pleasure.</p>

<p>I definitely hesitated between recital in a small room and imagining a woman play, but I can’t remember what I eventually chose.</p>

<p>Sticking with flippant/serious here as well.</p>

<p>Yeah that was a hard choice but I choose small room</p>

<p>yes I have to agree. I don’t remember the other choices but I thought the part about the hanging and how the man was disappointed in the actors ‘performance’ was almost satirical not serious.</p>

<p>did anyone get the question for what did birds watching Clocks represent? </p>

<p>and the meaning of “mean” within the poem? was it humble, average or sometthign else?</p>

<p>Marking time, I think.</p>

<p>I don’t remember what I said for “mean”. :/</p>
