<p>i also said chance = death. “if by change i die, and you therefore read this poem, remember me blah blah”</p>
<p>it was remember by love, right?</p>
<p>What about the one with birds being “watchful clocks”?</p>
<p>they marked time with songs, or something like that.</p>
<p>i got like -20…no prep and havent read poetry like that before. sucks</p>
<p>yeah, they marked intervals of time with their songs.</p>
<p>anyone remember any others?</p>
<p>in the passage with the “contradicting feelings, confused values, dogmatic,” etc. question, do you guys remember the question that asked something like:</p>
<p>In lines 55-60, how does the man feel about his enemies?</p>
<p>The choices were like: </p>
<p>a. he realizes all men are just humans
b. he realizes humans aren’t totally in control of what they do</p>
<p>and some other two, but i thought it was one of those (I put B)</p>
<p>does anyone remember this question?</p>
<p>ALSO, the question about the effect of the first sentence of some other passage (It was like "That was the last time I saw my mother). There were a few choices: one was something about chronology, the other was something about making the child story more poignant (I put that, but I think that was wrong)</p>
<p>some other questions I was wondering about:</p>
<p>~ the “man” poem - the first question asked what the passage was doing. I said “contrasting humans and the rest of nature” but another choice was something about “condemning the rebellion of mankind”</p>
<p>~ the first question on the play about guildenstern and his opinion on something, as well as one of those annoying I, II, III questions: “life imitates art, etc”</p>
<p>man feel about his enemies
-human will alone is not enough, god has to help</p>
<p>that was the last time i saw my mother
-the experience makes it more poignant</p>
<p>cherrypicker, was your enemies question answer different from the two above?</p>
<p>On the poem “man,” was it the last question where one of the answer choices was something…repose?</p>
<p>I can’t for my life remember. Help!</p>
<p>for the “that was the last time I saw my mother” I answered the chronological answer</p>
<p>oh yeah, i said repose as well! It was something like: “What does the author wish would happen to man” and he would want him to have repose because he wouldn’t be running around anymore.</p>
<p>Yes! Thank you, Jesus.</p>
<p>does anyone else have an answer to the enemies question? also, did anyone say “Dogmatic tendencies” to the story about the girl running away</p>
<p>Just a note:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It had to be the first answer choice (chronology) which said that this was an important event in the author’s life because it was the “last time” he saw his mother. Sure it sets up for poignancy but the important-ness of the event is the better answer.</p>
<p>I thought the vicar felt something about benevolence? No?</p>
<p>another question said something like “the player probably thinks that guildenstern is…”</p>
<p>the choices I remember were ironic and earnest. I thought guildenstern was being earnest because he was so insistent on his own opinions. thoughts?</p>
<p>Edit: i’m also going to try and generate some kind of list…i think i might cancel and I want other inputs!</p>
<p>Yes, earnest. None of the other choices had any textual support.</p>
<p>I think I may have gotten an 800; it didn’t seem too hard. What was the “enemies” question?</p>
<p>It had to be the first answer choice (chronology) which said that this was an important event in the author’s life because it was the “last time” he saw his mother. Sure it sets up for poignancy but the important-ness of the event is the better answer.</p>
<p>the sunday dusk experiences he had wasn’t the last time he saw his mother. these experiences in the living room were regular and reoccuring. the “last time he saw his mother” refers to whatever event happened in the actual full story before this passage was clipped out.</p>
