<p>i initially had that for the compound interest, but it really dint make that much sense, so i put that life there was much more than just business-which kinda makes sense, because it was all kinda like business to the corrupt system and the apathetic chancellor- they dint care about the conditions of the city...it was all bout numbers to them???? anyone else get this?</p>
<p>fish one i put poetry. searched it on google and it looks like im right</p>
<p>^^^ just ignore my last post...that doesnt make any sense...im tired</p>
<p>"fish one i put poetry. searched it on google and it looks like im right"</p>
<p>what does that mean</p>
<p>The "superior objectivist poem," her "An Egyptian Pulled Glass Bottle in the Shape of a Fish," is a poem appreciating art itself according to criteria that can be applied easily to her own poetry. Uncharacteristically, she begins not with the physical details of the fish-bottle but with the practical and moral situation that led to its making. Her poem is tracing the process of creation itself, so that it leads to the presence of the bottle as its conclusion. "Here we have," she begins, observing the bottle, "thirst," "patience," then "art": "as in a wave held up for us to see / in its essential perpendicularity." Art is thus the result of physical need and the skill of the artist to create what is needed: "So art is but</p>
<p>an expression of our needs," she writes in her essay "Feeling and Precision"; "is feeling, modified by the writer's moral and technological insights." Art demands appreciation, so the poem's first stanza concludes. Then the second and final stanza goes on to appreciate that which the artist has created:</p>
<pre><code>not brittle but
intensethe spectrum, that
spectacular and nimble animal the fish,
whose scales turn aside the sun's sword by their polish.
</code></pre>
<p>The work of art, to paraphrase, is not false but real; "genuine" is her term in another poem of definition, "Poetry." This bottle is more than something that aids in the alleviation of thirst, it is a fisha fish created more intensely, more perfectly, more essentially than its living model because it is glass, Perfected by art, this fish is eternal and cannot be destroyed by time: its scales turn aside the sun's sword by their polish. Likewise, the perfect poem is a reflecting and protecting surface.

<p><strong><em>ing collegeboard who copies the most random selection of the INTERNET...unless someone ran into that page in their past, i dont think anyone actually understood that on test day. i mean, common, i thought they were more creative and better than that...copying off the internet---there's no other way they cud've run into that piece of *</em></strong> literature---in conclusion, *** them!!!! thats gonna mess up my score</p>
<p>well it IS a published poem, so it's logical that it would be on the internet somewhere with an analysis of it... it's not like collegeboard copied a poem someone wrote on their online journal or something...</p>
<p>Not only was the poem fairly cryptic, but the questions pretty much required you to understand the poem in order to answer them correctly.</p>
<p>I still think it is museum currator addressing audience.</p>
<p>The answers I had for the Fish are:</p>
<ul>
<li>museum curator</li>
<li>The object was originally created out of thirst/need</li>
<li>Egyptian crafts </li>
<li>Blurred distinction BTW object and real fish</li>
</ul>
<p>I don't remember the Q for the 3rd one, but it was one of those Qs that answered u to interpret the meaning of a word in the passage.</p>
<p>patience .</p>
<p>I agree with all of those, Julina.</p>
<p>i put those four as well!</p>
<p>I hope I put the curator one... I was debating between that one and another one (the archaeology one? the art one?) and I think I changed my answer, but I can't remember from what to what.</p>
<p>How can you tell from about an eight-line poem whether the narrator is a museum curator or an archeaologist?</p>
<p>i put curator</p>
<p>I think the poem analysis that was posted proves it was an artist commenting on a piece of work.</p>
<p>i also put commenting on his/her work. Nowhere does it say anything about a damn curator or anything.</p>
<p>I don't think the question was asking whose perspective the poem was literally written through, I think it was which it was most like, in terms of presentation, ideas, consideration of the object. etc.</p>
<p>I didn't even understand the question until I read the poem a third time.</p>
<p>I honed in on "Here we have..." and it sounds like a musemum curator explaining it to a bunch to stupid tourists.</p>
<p>I didn't expect the literature passages to be so bizzare.</p>
