<p>the harvested and left on the field one is kinda wrong...unless im thinking of the wrong question. which question is this in reference to?</p>

<p>I put that he detested rich people, but that Q was iffy (I gathered that he felt that they were undeserving of their wealth... so it's a bit of a stretch, but whatever) -- I prolly got it wrong.</p>

<p>The test was far harder than I expected it to be, but then again my expectations weren't actually based off of anything concrete (CB says that the best prep is to read a lot -- and I read tons! (although mostly non-fiction -- science and philosophy -- and novels; not, urugybvifduyhfb, blasted poetry ;/).</p>

<p>I'm shooting for a 700+ though; I was iffy on 5-10 of them or so, what would I get total if I missed them all?</p>

<p>I also put harvested and left on the field.
the question, i think, asked about what happened after "another day".</p>

<p>That brings up another question:
what was the difference between "another day" and "fair day"?</p>

<p>Criminal
-personal (wrong?)
-flirtatious
-rationalization
-previous knowledge in jewelery</p>

<p>Indian Marriage
-both didn't listen to elder man
-jasmine in hair symbolized who she would become
-self serving</p>

<p>Fields of golden hay
-wheat harvested and left on ground
-fairy tale
-change is inevitable</p>

<p>Prosody
-comparison of man to weather
-narrator thinks of herself as old
-I, III/I, II, III
-what you expect vs. reality</p>

<p>Man + woman in countryside
-country v. city/ joy v. sadness</p>

<p>Woman who owns store (Louisa + Guy)
-confided and free
-peculiar and special
-uptight about personal space
-dainty perfection/contrived order?? (i put contrived order)</p>

<p>-fairy web shows shes so organized or something
or is this one already an asnwer up there?</p>

<p>The difference between fair day and another day was that it was no longer focused on time but on the events/descriptions.</p>

<p>As for the argument of dainty perfection/contrived order...the "dainty perfection" was in relation to Louisa's appearance. We never really get the sense that Louisa is beautiful, but we do know she's OCD organized.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure they were left in the field. And I also put that the different day was different not just in weather or w/e it was</p>

<p>Also, I'm pretty sure he messed up her contrived order...not her dainty perfection. </p>

<p>Questions I'm not sure about -
Dragon – retribution or regeneration?
Country – joy or sadness? Or country vs city?
Country "dear man" from who's perspective – woman?
Undivined – Unknown? Revealed? Or accidental?</p>

<p>oh the difference between another day and fair day i put that it was liek... hopeful for the future</p>

<p>@Mood
I am 100% sure the answer was not that he detested rich people. After all, he steals from rich people, so he can't hate those who provide him with money and etc.</p>

<p>yeah-- that makes no sense. sheaves are already harvested and left on the field!! the difference btwn another day and a fair day is that that day mattered for reasons beyond the weather, ie the beauty is gone...to the market!</p>

<p>sorry about the exclamation points. im too full of post test adrenaline</p>

<p>van_sant you agree about being left on the field? Also, there was no support that he hated rich people</p>

<p>Right, I agree with the "it wasn't about the weather." I couldn't really recall the answers >_> </p>

<p>No answers were great for the what can we infer about the criminal question, but the jewelry option may be the best (though I put strangeness of streets :P But I'm sort of convinced it's wrong now).</p>

<p>the dragon question is easily resolved if you google a bit. the country poem has to be country vs. city-- majority of questions were about that, and asking questions about the central focus of the poem is somewhat reasonable..i also put "dear" from perspective of the girl- her mom doesnt like this guy, neither does the poet, since, after all, hes got his girl...and an onlooker would have no opinion</p>

<p>I was under the impression that the unfair day was when the wheat was cut. It at first was in the fields, and then cut down. </p>

<p>The girls haven't woken up yet so the wheat hadn't left yet. I could be wrong though?</p>

<p>there was a question with the answer onlooker. it was regarding the lady who owned the store. it asked something about through whose view the situation of the lady going to straighten the books was revealed....?</p>

<p>I put onlooker for that one, not sure tho.</p>

<p>@cats,
for that one i put it was someday in the imaginary future....</p>

<p>eritas-- i put onlooker for a question like that as well.</p>

<p>and yeah, i remember pretty clearly the whole point was that the girls got up and left. sad, huh</p>

<p>Yes, but the wind can only blow through living wheat. And when it's cut down it's sort of like girls lying down sleeping...the impermanence was the fact that they didn't live too long before being cut?</p>

<p>I put onlooker eritas.</p>
