<p>So I've just returned from the Lit SATII, and being the loser that I am, I came here right away to make a thread about it.</p>
<p>So let's engage in a fine literary discussion and compare answers and stuff. I'm sure as heck that seeing if you got AT LEAST one answer right will make ya all feel so much better :P</p>
<p>The first two passages are hard. Others are ok.</p>
<p>I though the first poem and the passage about Flannery was hard. The rest were okay.</p>
<p>connor o'flan part was the hard one... everything else was fine, but i am so mad that i studied as much as i did! there was only three terminology questions!</p>
<p>I felt like I did terrible on it. Anyone know what the curve is usually like? I omitted like 6.</p>
<p>O'Connor one was definitely difficult.</p>
<p>-2 raw ==> 800, -8 raw ==> 750, -15 raw ==> 700</p>
<p>I wrote some answer about a woman having a mercenary attitude in the passage about the woman complaining about her husband</p>
<p>that's definitely wrong...</p>
<p>tripnip is that just a guess?</p>
<p>wat were the term questions? and i accidentally deleted my post, but wat did u guys think bout the last three the one about how the woman and man felt, self pity or despair, and about the authors attitude</p>
<p>mercenary- marked by materialism/ soldiers who fought to get paid. I remember that didn't really apply to the poem because she was arguing for a cause. I think I said she was unsentimental, since she missed the point that marriage is supposed to be about nlove, not power struggle.</p>
<p>On the questions in the last passage, I said that the woman had dispair and the man had self-pity. The man went on and on about how his situation was worse off, and the woman just simply called it a catastrophe.</p>
<p>I thought the narrator was sympathetic because he understood the emotions of the characters, but detached because the problems were not his own.</p>
<p>hmmm i gues i got those wrong.... i put self pity for woman because she reffered to her condition and despair for the man... and i sed some random thing about the author... i was running put of time and i had to basically jsut guess.. wat did u guys have trouble with on the Flannery passage</p>
<p>and oh yeah the curve numbers i got were from the collegeboard's practice test. So the real thing will -probably be close to that</p>
<p>hmmm... i hope ur write.... btw wat did u get for the last questions on the th flannery passage</p>
<p>tripNip, wow, that's all the stuff i put for the man/woman passage! Yay :p</p>
<p>The one that was the hardest for me was that 16th century poem about cheated women. The one where women say "we have gall too" or something like that. Gall means bitterness, right?
And was the poem denouncing marriage or sort of protecting female adultary? There was a confusing question about that...</p>
<p>yeah that was a hard passage. I wasn't sure what gall meant, but I thought the poem was about adultery, so I put down sexual desire. But it turns out that gall means "resentment: a feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will," so it looks like your "bitter" answer is right.</p>
<p>wow... i put the sexual thing for gall too.. that was a bad question...</p>
<p>I thought it was bitter because I remember Lady Macbeth saying "turn my milk to gall" and reading the side notes which explained that gall is a sour liquid secreted by the liver. That was random!</p>
<p>Yeah, I put down resentment and bitter for the "gall" question too. Howver for the last one, I put down that the man felt self-pity for himself.</p>
<p>Then there was the senator travelling passage. I put the first paragraph was in mocking tone, and that it was as a whole a humorous something, istead of the political something... yeah :X</p>
<p>Yeah it was definitely just a funny story about a senator, not political. Most of the answers had to do with mocking or irony. The one I remember having trouble with, though, was the one about his "moral reflections." I said that they were rash and dangerous because that would be ironic, but I have no idea what he was morally reflecting upon.</p>
