<p>Did anyone else get a lot of D’s on the multiple choice?</p>
<p>^^ Yeah. I always get into these crazy mind games with myself, though. I think that if there are too many of one letter in a row, something must be wrong…</p>
<p>Ok good. I almost did that too myself. I’d get like 2 or 3 D’s in a row, another letter, then 2 or 3 more D’s in a row. It was weird</p>
<p>“I TELL you, hopeless grief is passionless;”</p>
<p>After reading the first line of the this poem on the MC (the grief one) I thought of “old meme is old.”</p>
<p>Probably cost me a few minutes of time…</p>
<p>Grief is now one of my favorite sonnets. That was awesome.</p>
<p>Hopeless grief is passionless because it is halfhearted, yes?</p>
<p>I also got like 3 or so Ds in a row. If it gives you any solace, I’m 90% sure they’re right because I went back and checked them. </p>
<p>Sounds like everyone did great! I hope all goes well score-wise!</p>
<p>lol I got a lot of D’s as well.
Does anyone know when we get our results back?</p>
<p>I also thought that hopeless grief was halfhearted, but just about near everyone I talked to about it said they thought hopeless grief was silent.</p>
<p>“Does anyone know when we get our results back?”</p>
<p>No results until July.</p>
<p>As a clarification - when you say you wrote 3 pages, do you mean front and back or sides?</p>
<p>Hopeless grief is insincere…</p>
<p>I was between half hearted and insincere but I ended up going with half hearted. </p>

<p>I too was between those 2 and I ended up with the same. But talking it over with other people and rereading the sonnet I think the actual answer is silent. </p>
<p>“I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
That only men incredulous of despair,
Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
Of shrieking and reproach.” (lines 1-5)</p>
<p>She makes an assertion in the first line (hopeless grief, meaning true grief because the griever has no hope, is passionless) then explains exactly what passionless means by presenting a contrast in lines 2-5 that’s full of loud, auditory imagery.</p>
<p>As a class, we read Hamlet, Ros and Guil are Dead, Tess of the d’urbervilles, Heart of Darkness, A Doll’s House, and Wuthering Heights. I chose Tess but a lot of people in my class chose Hamlet or To Kill a Mockingbird, which we read in 8th grade. I</p>
<p>I think you were smart to choose tess and not hamlet, definitely. unless your classmates wrote INCREDIBLY interesting essays, I’m sure theirs blended into the infinite array of hamlet essays everyone’s bound to write…I used Gulliver’s Travels and focused on his LACK of action in the face of injustice so I’m a little worried…but I think my essay was pretty good besides that</p>
<p>is the lovely bones considered a book of literary merit? idk I’m just so confused about what makes a book a book of literary merit haha. like is ender’s game a book of literary merit? I mean I guess if atonement is, then the threshold isn’t too high haha</p>
<p>and my ap english class read:
oedipus
king lear
hamlet(again)
othello
macbeth
heart of darkness
turn of the screw
the illiad</p>
<p>I hate heart of darkness, but find it INCREDIBLY easy to write about–I thought Essay 1 was the hardest(grabbed onto wordsworth’s “child is the father of the man” for dear life, and henry james’ “house of fiction”) and the 2nd was pretty easy, with victorian social change attempts…the 3rd ive already said haha. Mulptiple choice seemed really easy or was that just me?</p>
<p>My ap english class was so hard that the test wasn’t at all. we had to write a 25 page research paper, had to meet with our teacher privately twice a week(really difficult with our schedules) and took soo many ices.</p>
<p>It think the Lovely Bones may be considered a novel of literary merit. You should ask your teacher.</p>
<p>OMG, so I’m kind of freaking out because I wrote about The Odyssey for Question 3, even though it asked for a “novel” or “play.” I thought my essay was well written and well supported, but am I going to get slammed for writing about an epic?</p>
