<p>yeah i also put average, but that was real tricky</p>
<p>what did you put for the very last question, exhortionary or diffident? i put exhortionary</p>
<p>what was the one about how did the speaker regard humanity in the “man” poem about man’s restlessness? contemptuous or nonchalant? i put contemptuous.</p>
<p>what were some other tough ones? the “man” poem about human restlessness and the play were the trickier ones, imo</p>
<p>yes, exhortatory. he’s strongly encouraging youth to “live for today.” (two answers in one!)</p>
<p>for the poem about “man” by henry vaughan, i also said contemptuous. he felt pretty passionate about man being disadvantaged by god. there was some other answer about predestined restlessness.</p>
<p>do you remember the question about predestined restlessness?</p>
<p>and i put “humble” as the mean, i think it’s pretty clear, especially with the way poets back in the day used “mean”</p>
<p>exhortatory, live for today, contemptuous, and predestined restlessness</p>
<p>does anyone remember what the 1st question of the test was?</p>
<p>if it helps for the debate on contradictory feelings vs. confused values, here is the excerpt of the passage about livy (from the vicar of wakefield):</p>
<p>'Then may heaven forgive me and him if I did. And now, my son, I see it was more than human benevolence that first taught us to bless our enemies! Blest be his holy name for all the good he hath given, and for all that he hath taken away. But it is not, it is not, a small distress that can wring tears from these old eyes, that have not wept for so many years. My Child!–To undo my darling! May confusion seize! Heaven forgive me, what am I about to say! You may remember, my love, how good she was, and how charming; till this vile moment all her care was to make us happy. Had she but died! But she is gone, the honour of our family contaminated, and I must look out for happiness in other worlds than here.</p>
<p>i’m still pretty convinced it’s contradictory feelings. his values–especially his religious ones (he is a vicar after all)–seem unchanged.</p>
<p>In the first poem, what event does ‘chance’ refer to? Her death?</p>
<p>The question about why man can’t find his home…was the answer “lack of wisdom” or “predestined restlessness”? The passage supported both because it said man lacks wit…also I’m not sure if his predestined restlessness had to do with why he couldn’t FIND his home (it definitely had to do with why he couldn’t stay there)</p>
<p>i sai8d predestined restlessness because it was the more central theme to thye passage…but i totally agree. i was torn between the two as well.</p>
<p>Uh oh, instead of contemptuous I put sympathetic. I thought he seemed by sympathetic to man’s plight, instead of contemptuous of God.</p>
<p>I guess I got it wrong.</p>
<p>Seems like -3 so far–if you guys are also right about humble? I put average. It didn’t seem to mean humble.</p>
<p>i thought in accordance with the lines surrounding it, that “lack of wisdom” was the answer. “predestined restlessness” seems like a trick red herring. because in the lines immediately before, it talked baout how a stone had more wit than a man, who couldn’t find his way home, and how he knocked on a bunch of doors but couldn’t remember his own home.</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the last question on the play passage with the hamlet characters? what is the overall nature of the passage? or soemthing
i put “a debate with an unclear winner”</p>
<p>hey redcatharsis, you made an awesome SAT II US list last year (I think it was you?)</p>
<p>Do you remember all the lit questions and answers that you think are right?</p>
<p>*cherrypicker: i agree with both of those that you put</p>
<p>for the yellow wallpaper, the I, II, III question</p>
<p>the house was I. cheap II. romantic, III. …</p>
<p>do you know what the answer was? I thought it was just I, she didn’t seem to say this house was romantic…</p>
<p>BTW, the yellow wallpaper is the story with the physician excerpt (i read it a few years ago in english)</p>
<p>what do you think the curve will be for this test?</p>
<p>bee - i put I and II. the second option was not just “romantic,” it was “mysterious” or something. and in the next sentence, she admitted that the house gave a “queer” feeling.</p>
<p>I put average, debate with an unlcear winner, but i did I and II for the house one…she does talk about it being romantic and how there was some mystery as to why it remained untenanted for so long…but didnt refer to its architecture at all.</p>
<p>for the chance one i also put the speaker’s death, but was unsure…</p>
<p>also, what was the answer to the first question in the play passage? about how guildenstern feels? was the answer something about dialogue?</p>
<p>for change, i said the writing of the poem…the line was </p>
<p>“if by chance, to your eyes this verse appears” or something.
so i assumed it was if you [the husband] happen to read this poem.</p>
<p>I do remember most of the math II and literature questions, but I don’t feel like elaborating this time. It’s not like history…I’m not as nervous now, haha.</p>
<p>But if you have questions, I’m sure to remember?</p>
<p>(And yes, it was me who made a good US History and SAT Reasoning last year, and compiled most of the questions)</p>
