October 2009 SAT II - Literature

<p>speaking of the edna poem, what was the one word that didn’t have to do with old age?</p>

<p>I know what you’re talking about but I can’t recall it exactly. Summer mischief, perhaps, but I do believe that was for another question. Oh well.</p>

<p>Also, for Guildenstern, why did the play cut to a display of the actors being killed? Please don’t say for comic digression. I think I put to demonstrate the effectiveness of melodramatic death or something to that effect, in large part because of the words in parentheses noting that they died quite well, and the only comedy that could be inferred from the situation would be just that - implicit.</p>

<p>Well, now I know for a fact that I got the birds question and the exhortatory question wrong…the birds question was just a sad embarrassment on my part, I put spying on animals but meant to change it and never did - indecision kills. Exhortatory…I couldn’t disassociate the word from extort, and decided to take my chances with diffidence, which, just by phonic connotation is a timid word =/</p>
