November 2009 CRITICAL READING Discussion

<p>hubris is another answer to the vocab</p>

<p>i think i did deluding
but what was the question and other choices</p>

<p>i had the facial expressions but it wasnt too bad… just one of the questions was tough for that</p>

<p>the BSO conductor was
-someone they admire
-musicians worked as hard as he did
-his appearance and something</p>

<p>what about the passage on the sponges?</p>

<p>Yeah musician was easy.</p>

<p>Was the facial expressions writing though? Or critical reading?</p>

<p>sponges was real</p>

<p>I didn’t have a sponge section.</p>

<p>what were some of the questions and their answers</p>

<p>facial expressions was writing…</p>

<p>why did you guys have deluding themselves?
i had that at first, but then changed to overcome a lot because deulding themselves seemed out of scope: the writers never said they had free will, the author did</p>

<p>i don’t know what u r talking about, im not sure if i had that section what was it about</p>

<p>the one that people put deluding themselves for was 2 small passages about free will and pull of disposition - had example of monkey riding on tigers back</p>

<p>question was: writers (who author said had free will) in second passage
a) delude themselves, or
b) had to overcome a lot</p>

<p>to sixstring91,
i remember the free riding one but i have no idea which question u r addressing. do we have a question like this? OMG. then i must do that one completely wrong.</p>

<p>for Maria and the ocean passage, i got: deliberate insincerity, changing perceptions, extremely naive</p>

<p>i def did not have that one. i had one about sponges, one translated from japanese, one about how television is bad, one about a scientist who is an activist. i got really nervous in the first reading sections and all my dreams went out the window with that.</p>

<p>i think taciturn was an answer</p>

<p>dreamwharton: to jog your mem, it was question #9 (first one after vocab). said something like “according to author 1’s statements about monkey riding tiger, author 1 would say that the writers in passage 2 _____” (author of passage 2 said that writers necessary had to have free will to make drama and art, but only spoke of writers from 3rd person; the writers themselves never said that they had free will)… first two answer choices were:
a) writers were deluding themselves
b) writers had to overcome a lot (to have that free will)</p>

<p>to sixstring91,
OMG. seriously i have no idea what this problem is… sudden brain dead. and i cannot remember the vocabulary one either… illl register for Dec’s test… dan</p>

<p>my long CR passages: ella fitzgerald, maria and her cousin Tsugari or something moving from japan, television vs. reading, a scientist who is an activist (motivated by the sponge scraping), one about a detective/researcher who finds fake art… </p>

<p>my short CR passages: conflicting viewpoints about the activity of walking, tail of a snow leopard, a brief description of an ingenious man, lifeless postcards from a father, …</p>

<p>Checkmate: None of those sound familiar to me.</p>

<p>sixstring: A</p>

<p>shizzle: why (a)?</p>

<p>i had (a) at first, but then changed it to (b) because the writers themselves never actually said that they had free will (only the author did), so how could they be deluding themselves? </p>

<p>can you help?</p>

<p>Because when they person was talking about a monkey on a tiger… he also said, “making up stories about making choices.” Or something to that effect. Which would make me think that they are deluding themselves.</p>
