<p>Yep, that’s what I put. </p>
<p>@mgu2000</p>
<p>I put that it added poignancy.</p>
<p>@renoverchat
ok cool
What did you put for who the first poem was addressed to? Rejected suitor or former lover? I said former lover</p>
<p>And was the ironic statement of Mrs. Creevy the one she said about the clergy of the church, since she said they “only want your money,” but she only wanted money from her students?</p>
<p>Yes, ironic statement was about the clergy</p>
<p>Not sure what you guys are talking about… that was really hard! Well granted I picked I signed up at the last minute never taken a lit course but I’m pretty sure I bombed it. How bad is it if I choose to take it again in December for the UC’s?</p>
<p>So I seemed to have had a pretty good test. Felt easy but then again that can also be a bad thing when it comes to English Lit. But now that my answers match with all those given here, I think I really did do well. Still, there are a few things I’m unsure about.</p>
<p>First, the flying geese passage. I felt that while the passage itself wasn’t too hard to decipher, I kept looking for some deep hidden meaning which I just couldn’t find. Ultimately I went for what seemed apparent. Hope that was the right decision. So yeah, the passage. It lead to a decision, right? Not illusions or anything else? And he violated his own warning, yes? Also, he saw the geese to be symbolic of how he should start his journey, didn’t he? </p>
<p>Then, Mr. Heartfree. His gullibility etc. were viewed by the narrator as great shortcomings and not useless niceties, right? </p>
<p>Finally, the darkness and children passage. @renoverchat I too went with poignancy on the first one. Was quite confused between that and chronological sequence. Also, obscurely scared meant indefinably scared and not secretly, right?</p>
<p>All in all, I felt it wasn’t a very hard test. I am thankful I decided to review literary terms in detail. Although there weren’t very many direct questions on them, my preparation meant that I didn’t waste much time on the questions that asked about the general tone of the poem, etc.</p>
<p>Trenchlod, I got all those answrts except I left the poignancy one blank, and I put secretly for the obscurely one but I think that was wrong.</p>
<p>@trenchlord</p>
<p>Agree with all. The geese was definitely ‘how to begin’ or something like that; it was supported by the text.</p>
<p>What answers did you guys get for the last two questions of the Mr. Heartfree passage? One was asking what the society valued (domestic happiness, making money, etc.)… and the last question asked about the narrator vs. the author and if they were one/critiquing society</p>
<p>Was one of the answers “apostrophe”? For the poem when he was asking rhetorical questions to inanimate objects</p>
<p>Was the last passage the one about “heart, have no pity on this house of bone”? I’m suddenly paranoid that I didn’t do every question on the test.</p>
<p>@iBonaparte I went with making money on the valued by society question and with the views of the author having opposite views and using the narrator to critique society.</p>
<p>@Jazzed Yeah, I went with apostrophe on that one.</p>
<p>@mgu2000 Yes, it was.</p>
<p>I guess I got this wrong but it seemed like the heartfree passage wasn’t talking about money and success in life. I thought the narrator was bashing honest people, so I put some answer like “hide their true feelings.” Ugh</p>
<p>Do you guys remember any questions from the house of bone poem? That was the hardest one for me.</p>
<p>Also for the “trade honey for [answer]” question why was it not city buzz? I thought honey was the earthly goods so he would want to get rid of the city buzz in exchange for nature.</p>
<p>Hmm, I took a (literal) minute to get the house of bone poem but I felt it was quite simple from then on. From what I could make out, the poet was basically exhorting the youth to do all sorts of youthful things and to not hold back as old age will only compromise what is left of the houses of bone (the human body).</p>
<p>As for the honey one, the poet made a whole bunch of analogies in which city dwellers were analogized with bees and the city with the hive. So I saw the honey to be a metaphor for city things (because bees make honey in their hives). If you remember the answer choices, 4 were city things and one was a pastoral image (as someone said on page 2) so I felt that was the obvious choice.</p>
<p>I know I got two wrong. Does anyone know where to find a score conversion chart or something?</p>

<p>@renoverchat</p>
<p>The curve varies considerably, but two wrong (assuming you didn’t leave anything else blank) is pretty much guaranteed to be an 800. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it though. Unless it’s like the Math II, colleges don’t differentiate between a 750 and an 800.</p>
<p>One more question guys - the first poem was a lament and not a rebuff, right?</p>
<p>I put lament.</p>
