<p>Idr what i put for those. But the parents did not want the children to discover what their fate was to become, the fate of themselves. Idk. I could very well be wrong, and wouldnt be surprised if i am</p>
<p>No the adults were protective because they didn't want their children to be exposed to the harsh realities of the world and would stop talking at some point because they didn't want their children to know too much about them</p>
<p>children sometimes just fall asleep on the floor...the adults were still watching over them</p>
<p>hipster: i think the "absent-minded" referred to them being scared of the future and stuff. and they were worried about their children's futures. i think... i can be totally off.</p>
<p>and ZorroX99, read previous posts. But i said adversity always accompanies joy.</p>
<p>What was going on in the last poem exactly?</p>
<p>Yeah your right, I assumed they meant based on the description in the first paragraph.</p>
<p>i think we can find out our scores around the 20th. are you guys sure on the willy 1 2 3 question? i really didnt think that 1 was included</p>
<p>I don't really remember most of the Qs on the test, but I read through all the posts so far and these are the ones I agree with/remember:</p>
<p>My dear remains were her children. She was writing the poem to her husband. Death and Marriage. She wants him to love her even when she's dead. They were unsure about when she would die.
"appearances had to do with everyone's phsical wahtevers"
"the mirror reflected the theme of appearacnes they were talking about"
"the last two lines in the beautiful woman poem or whatever reflected teh general themes of the passage"
"the man felt self-sacrficing"
"the woman was confident in her" opinions
"the author regarded teh man with amusement"
Adults were uncaring.
"there was something like the adults all had the experiences of their past; the last question was that the narrator's memory of his mom led to a childhood impression; light symbolizes child's aspirations-FALSE"
The poet's lady was showered with praise from the poet. She was the model/standard or something. Future ladies were sad they didn't live in that time to have met her. She would forever live on through the power of the poem.
Charles was "shocked" when he looked in the mirror because he was still upset(?) about his experience. Next was something about his appearance.</p>
<p>That's all I remember. .<em>. I hope I didn't fail that badly. ></em>_>
I skipped the whole play passage because I was running out of time.</p>
<p>[edit]
lol, I'm sure a lot of my answers in that passage were wrong because I didn't really understand the passage. :(
V</p>
<p>Here are some of my answers:</p>
<p>parents - protective
adversity always accompanies joy
last couplet supports previous 3 quatrains
women would have wished to meet the queen
the poet would 'superfluously' praise the queen - overabundance of praise.</p>
<p>can i get help on the last poem, "Man sets himself on fire"</p>
<p>some question asked for Charlie's response to looking in the mirror... i said shocked/surprised</p>
<p>EDIT: i just read the above post and I agree with everything 100% that alicimoo said, EXCEPT the parents Question... the Parents were protecting the kids from the dangers of knowing death. It's no that they didn't care, it's that they didn't want to discuss death in front of the kids.</p>
<p>agreed, it was defiently definetly protective. i ruled out "uncaring" pretty quickly</p>
<p>so.. the guy's hand didn't bleed? i put that but acuatly i erased it, i wasn't sure. i just omitted it haha</p>
<p>Alicimoo do you remember any more questions from the last passage? Also, did you really skip the entire passage about the ballroom dancing?</p>
<p>Let's keep this thread alive guys! post any little thing you can remember...</p>
<p>I thought the whole thing was that the guy was set on fire, i.e. no blood was involved. He lit a match on a glass and the flame set the alcohol and him on fire. right?</p>
<p>dbacker1991 - if you post the Qs I might remember the answers I put for them.</p>
<p>lol yea, I skipped the whole passage for the ballroom dancing. =/ I had around 10 mins left and I just looked at the extensively long passage and the # of Qs it had compared to the last passage and just decided to skip it.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what Q the last passage started on? 53?
I'm afraid I started one question earlier and just completely messed up the last passage. ._.</p>
<p>This is just a general thing, but don't worry about the Lit score too much. A lot of people, including myself, did surprisingly better than expected on previous exams. I was CERTAIN I would get a low 600s, but got 740 instead. I like to thank luck and a generous curve, but you guys will be fine. :)</p>
<p>hmm yeah i really dont see the parents being uncaring.</p>
<p>For the drama section:</p>
<p>the phone call had what effect?
and i remember putting an answer where like willy was a character than contrasted sam or hwatever his name was?
and there was also a question with why did willy start dancing?
and i couldnt get what the opening line of the play was suppose to mean/show...</p>
<p>sorry my memory is really blurry right now. =/</p>
<p>yeah that whole passage about charles confused me majorly. im not really sure what i put. after i take a test, i get amnesia about the questions lol!</p>
<p>the first question was 53. that one asked what the narrator's attitude was toward the whole evening. options iincluded scientific/detached, he was suspicious and did not participate, or he was indifferent. I think I chose a fourth answer that I cannot remember now. the ones I listed did not seem to fit.</p>
<p>it was the one about observant appreciation that was the answer.</p>
<p>Oh I really hope I started on 53. -_-" I always feel this way after taking a test where I skip questions. =/</p>
<p>For that Q, I said he was an appreciative observer(?) or something. I think it was D?</p>
<p>@ jchang</p>
<p>I said the phone call had an effect of bringing them back from an 'ideal' world. I said willy starting dancing for all three reasons they listed (it was a Roman Numeral Q) the first two reasons were good, but the third reason about adding dramatic action confused me. I still put I, II and III because it was technically dramatic action right?</p>
<p>@ alicimoo</p>
<p>THAT is the one I picked too. I am still unsure on it though because I didn't get the meaning of the poem until after I answered that question. (I forgot to read the title of the poem, so, needless to say I was very confused)</p>
