<p>Echelon32 / You are awesome</p>
<p>Media age was 54 IMO</p>
<p>Fantastic job Echelon32! U R AWESOME!!!
Woke up this morning and remembered a few more from the adversarial nature of the US justice system:
- When compared to the US system, the German and French legal systems are LESS LIKELY TO DISTORT THE FACTS
- The authors attitude toward M-M (some critic of the US system) is best characterized as RESPECTFUL
- The passage is best described as A CRITICISM OF THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE US LEGAL SYSTEM</p>
<p>THERE WAS ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND NEW YORK STATE COURT OF APPEALS.</p>
<p>I think I can refine the Chesnutt questions a bit:</p>
<ol>
<li>The quotations (he was “fresh” and “vivid”) are typical reactions of Chesnutt’s contemporaries</li>
<li>The figurative language (ie like an wit like an ax) was forceful and penetrating</li>
</ol>
<p>“THERE WAS ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND NEW YORK STATE COURT OF APPEALS.”</p>
<p>It “attempted to reduce the severity of a problem” I’m pretty sure. </p>
<p>Good morning, Echelon, can you add the few we remembered this morning! lol</p>
<p>what was the experimental section for CR</p>
<p>and museum passage:</p>
<p>The quote with Louis Kahn “introduced the central dilemma of museum design”</p>
<p>legal system:</p>
<p>answer to one question: “between uncovering the truth and winning lawsuits”</p>
<p>brain passage:</p>
<p>comment “brains float free of bodies” is like what in passage 1?
answer: “dualism mind is separate from body”</p>
<p>QUESTION: Can you refresh my memory on this problem: “area of a graph by adding square and triangle is 21 btw”</p>
<p>1) For the museum passage, there was one question that asked somethinglike cultural and social commercialization would cause the museum to do all the folowing EXCEPT:</p>
<p>Was the answer spend money to purchase old neglected paintings </p>
<p>2) What exactly was the question in the brain passage for how the two authors felt (Two authors were both something like "appealing but not correct)?</p>
<p>3) Did anyone have a passage about a women and her adolescent experince as a literary critic? i hope it was experimental.</p>
<p>wasn’t there a multimedia one or the critical reading? it was an inference question.</p>
<p>i had the literary critic one
do you think its experimental?</p>
<p>The woman and her adolescent experience was experimental. I had three grammar sections. So all of my readings counted. I did not have a reading about an adolescent literary critic.</p>
<p>Agree with this mornings posts by rb9109 and R2d2man123.</p>
<p>Glad you brought up the Brain question about how the two authors felt.</p>
<p>The answer consisted of two words:</p>
<p>Was it APPEALING and INNOVATIVE (not sure about this word)
Or Was it REASSURING and RATIONAL (not sure about RATIONAL but I am sure that one of the possible answers had two words both of which began with an R)
This one is driving me crazy! HELP!!!</p>
<p>Triwizard, it was definitely along the lines of appealing but “incorrect” with some other word for incorrect. It was not innovative for sure; it was something like incorrect/inaccurate/misleading or something “false”.</p>
<p>Rational answer is definitely incorrect.</p>
<p>are u sure the answer was curtail? i put sever. whatever. and r u are descartes ADDED PHILOSOPHY to? i put.. originated or something. and i didn’t put colloquial…</p>
<p>guess i got all those wrong</p>
<p>Yes, I think it was APPEALING but INACCURATE.</p>
<p>From above–on the topic of the museum questions</p>
<p>I thought that the quote from Louis Kahn addressed the difference between a building’s form and function, as that was all the first paragraph talked about </p>
<p>the idea of introducing the central dilemma of museum design came later, right?</p>
<p>I debated about that one for a while on the test…</p>
<p>Yes, I am positive it was CURTAIL and not SEVER. Curtail means to cut back while Sever means to completely cut off.</p>
<p>is the answer for number between .3 and .4 = .35?</p>
<p>it seems too easy..</p>
<p>Good morning all :)</p>
<p>Critical Reading
- Mexican Girl Marta who asked for her father’s permission to go to HS..
. Resignation when he talked with the fisherman
. Dumbfounded when fisherman is consulted on something so important
. Father is sociable-reserved
. Final sentence makes story significant by showing Marta fulfilled her promise
. Earnest when asking father initially to go to school
. Urgency = fear that she lost attention of her father</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Mini-Pair on advertising on the internet versus advertising on TV
. Passage 1’s quote is to bring up a relevant research finding
. Both passages deal with the strategic placement of ads
. Second passage shows people avoiding ads
. Passage 1 would learn from passage 2 by not placing internet ads on unpopular websites</p></li>
<li><p>One Paragraph about the writing of Chesnutt
. The quotations (he was “fresh” and “vivid”) are typical reactions of Chesnutt’s contemporaries
. The figurative language (ie like an wit like an ax) was forceful and penetrating</p></li>
<li><p>One Paragraph about what is natural
. Purpose is to dispel a misconception
. Colloquial statement “Vaccine ain’t” = to back up assertion</p></li>
<li><p>Passage about the architecture of a museum
. Kahn’s quote introduced the central dilemma of museum design
. Crass social consumerism or something like that = theme park
. Competition makes museums do things they arent suited for
. Building’s fundamental character = the spirit
. “circumstantial requirements” = Legal height of building
. Center of museum = the art on display
. List of places in museum = to show museum’s many facets
. Most museums don’t take old, unrecognized works and display them
. Ornate museum would be a put-off to society
. Museum = civic = responsibility to society (unlike private)</p></li>
<li><p>Passage about the adversarial nature of US justice system
. European courts = prevent manipulation of facts
. Critic said that people would lose confidence in societal institutions
. Claim = assertion
. Author feels that American courts = problematic practice
. Author = respectful toward critic M-M
. Passage is best described as a criticism against the American legal system
. New York District of Appeals and DC = attempted to reduce the severity of the problem
. Difference = between uncovering the truth and winning lawsuits</p></li>
<li><p>Paired Passage about the nature of the human brain
. Take = outlook (a modern outlook)
. Two authors were both something like "appealing but inaccurate"
. Ending sentences = cautionary v. stirring
. Descrates dignified –> added philosophy to OR created? under debate…I personally put created since beginning of next sentence = “He also proposed,” but it seems like CB rarely puts really weird defs — i remember only once, some test they defined “killing” as remorseful or something.
. Brain passages both referenced influential historical figures
. Copernicus = humans’ place in the universe
. Growing up = realization based on scientific findings
. Something about humans thinking that their brain = overemphasive their distinctiveness in the universe
. Special = exceptional
. Genome free of bodies = dualism of mind/body</p></li>

<p>Writing
. Were we to change = correct — currently under debate
. Diction error = insure — assure

. raised over the last 150 years = has risen
TWO NO ERRORS</p>

<p>ahh so far i’ve missed 2 CR
i changed that curtail one at the last second for no reason 
hopefully i miss no more</p>
<p>but i messed up the writing a bunch
i remember this question where it was “raise” instead of “rise”</p>
<p>and i got this one improve the passage for monkeys and coins
did anyone else get it?</p>
<p>vorfield: yes, the error was at “raised steeply” it should have been “has risen” or something</p>
<p>I got the chimp passage too</p>
