<p>Passage II (Excerpt) from google Doc…</p>

<p>Passage II - Excerpt
Inadequate
Distracted
only like 5 more questions left :)</p>

<p>Passage I (Poem) from google Doc…
21. Loneliness
22. Wanted to connect with people
23. Optimistic/Restrained (we don’t know)</p>

<p>Hey can someone help me??? So I think I interpreted the critical lens wrong because its different from everyone I asked… do u think this would still be a valid interpretation? I said that people who appear great on the outside can actually be evil on the inside. I know that most people said the opposite (that people who appear evil are actually good on the inside), do you think I’d lose major points for my interpretation? And can I still do well if I supported my position well?</p>

<p>What was the question and all the answer choices for 22? </p>

<p>I think 22 was the souls like stars question… but I don’t remember the answer choices. </p>

<p>Hey can someone help me please??? Will I lose too many points if I interpreted the quote wrong? I said that people who seem good on the outside can be evil on the inside. Or does my interpretation work?</p>

<p>I said the same.</p>

<p>i think i interpreted wrong too
i said only through conflicts will an individual grow
hellllp</p>

<p>I don’t think it should matter much. As long as you supported what you felt the quote said. I think you’ll be okay</p>

<p>ok… do u think it would be possible to get a perfect score (6) on it if the essay was really well written? Or would they be forced to take off a point if the interpretation was a little off. Sorry I’m just kinda freaking out about this exam!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they dont take off points for how correct “your” interpretation is but only on how well you support it</p>

<p>ok thanks! btw I’m new to this forum… how do u directly reply to someone? Like do I just tag @ their name? just wondering lol</p>

<p>wat were u supposed to write for the short response about helping other?
i just said they helped other people idk
so confused</p>

<p>@palamedes7‌ i made my controlling idea that they both found helping others essential to life. you were supposed to write about helping others but make a more specific connection</p>

<p>o no</p>
