Was my dbq too short? It was like 3.5 pages and everyone elses was like 5-6. I didnt quote anything.
I just used my interpretations
I used 9 docs
I ended up doing 4 and 7. I knew I wasn’t going to be good with anything past 1900, so I was happy with the surprising lack of wwi, wwii, and cold war questions… I thought 7 was so easy, and just tried to get through 4 as best as I could.
Did anyone do number 5? what did you talk about for number 5?
I think most people picked 2 and 6 they were the easiest. Can anyone answer my question? Is a 9 doc 4 pov dbq too short for 3.5 pages?
No. My DBQ was only like 3 pages with like 6 attempts at POV (probably hit 4 of them) and 10 docs. You’re good man. Also, for number 5, I started pre writing it but I only had like 4 details so I switched to 7
@Falconsroach7 ty man. Idc anymore. No more long nights. No more 6000 word, 15 page docs of history notes. I somehow, by some perversion of nature have an a in that class and no ap score will change that.
I somehow used all the docs and quoted most
Don’t worry about it. I’m sure we all did great! Cramming for bio on monday now
For FRQs #2 and #7, what did you guys talk about?
For the Napoleon one, I talked about how he went against the FR by making it an empire, but went with it by abolishing privilege, made jobs open to talent, improved taxation/bread prices, and also equality before the law. This made the peasants/middle class happier.
For #7 (1600-1750), I talked about how it challenged some of religion’s teachings (Galileo/Kepler/Newton- moon, natural laws, heliocentric universe), and also how it showed that man could make progress (which some religions had not shown). Finally, the idea of religious toleration (Voltaire after England) and how that made religion slightly less important in the state.
@skieurope thanks for the warning. I wasn’t aware of the rule. I’ll make sure to keep that in mind when I post here.
almost the exact same for me @CGlynn but with less detail because I ran out of time
for 2 i said that he went with the revolution by Instituting the merit system and reforming law to unskew the legal system, but went against by creating an empire and by eliminating women’s rights
For 7 I wrote about the heliocentric theory and Newtonian mechanical views of universe. For philosophy I screwed up and put that Voltaire thought that religion was inhibiting human progress. I also screwed up by putting that christianity said that man was originally good and sin corrupted humans and saying that the Hobbesian and Locke’s views of Human nature (Hobbes=innately evil and violent, Locke=tabula rasa (blank slate)) but then realized that Christianity also says that man is born sinful. But by then it was too late. But I did put in deism diminishing God’s importance in people’s lives since he had no role in interfering with the world.
@guanlinzhou Yea I discussed how it was thought that God had stepped back but completely forgot that the belief was called deism… Probably won’t matter as long as I stated the belief… I’m hoping for at least a 6 on both.
Would these be some acceptable POVs?
- The poster with the interlocking hands was propaganda to sway the general population’s view on immigrants
- The soccer player may have just been saying those things to get support for other immigrants
- The farmer would want to keep his practices around in order to make sure he isn’t harmed
- The culture minister or whatever of France would want to make sure his culture seemed to be the best in the world and was not tainted.
- The magazine cover was like that to express the views of many Frenchmen and relate to them so they would buy it.
I did some others too in case some of these weren’t good.
and also, would a decent thesis be something along the lines of: Some people were against other cultures/immigrants coming in, some were for preserving french culture, some were for certain changes being made or immigration.
I did your 1,2, and that the dictionary guy was credible since he opposed the toubon laws but the society academie wanted to keep language around, and therefore he is credible.
@guanlinzhou yeah i did both 2 and 7 and feel that I went HAM on those essays.
^If you get that reference
My teacher was phenomenal but ended up getting a B in the course because of the class was difficult and I am a pretty lazy person. Sophomore here btw
on the third POV I thought that either way the industry still has to buy food from him so I didn’t do that one.
one the 5th one I didn’t see any viewpoint because the cover did not represent any views, just that there are views inside the actual magazine.
But I’m mad at myself for missing that 4th one, but wasn’t he speaking to the UN? Maybe I thought that him saying that his culture was the best in the world would have alienated him from the other countries.
