Official Dec 2012 READING thread

<p>Breaking out of the mold was that they didn’t write in their native languages.
What did all the authors have in common was that they spent a lot of time away from their homeland.</p>

<p>I’m almost positive on these ones.</p>

<p>That’s what I put</p>

<p>Linz25, me too.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the name I the Chinese author and also the name of his book</p>

<p>Hold on a second.
The breaking out of the mold question had short answers (Ex: Native Language, Different Language)…</p>

<p>Which one was it? Different Language?</p>

<p>For the last question on that, it was Not similar right?
I think I put Not similar because of… Can’t remember the 2nd part of the answer.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if there were a lot of A’s near the end of reading because I guessed on like 8 on the last passage and put A for them.</p>

<p>Can someone please give me the name of the Chinese author and his book? I’m trying to find the article online</p>

<p>Not certain, but I believe the author was Ha Jin and his book was called A Free Life.</p>

<p>The answer was different languages.
What about the reviewr one?
What was the answer to that?</p>

<p>Thanks! I found the article. As it turns out, the authors listed wrote in their native tongues, yet they all lived away from their homeland</p>

<p>the characteristic that all mangroves had was the answer having to do with filtration.</p>

<p>Which number asked about the similarities between all mangroves?
(I’m starting to think that I might’ve skipped one and put the next one in that… -_-)</p>

<p>YES! that question was asking what Jin and those authors SHARED, and it was that they all lived away from their homeland for some time. Right? RIGHT!?!</p>

<p>@efeens44, Yeah. That one is right. I’m pretty sure that that choice was the answer.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question with similar and not similar?</p>

<p>habadaabada, Elaborate on the question please?</p>

<p>The reviewr wrote a statement.</p>

<p>The qustion asked whether the statement was similar to author’s attement or not or something like that.</p>

<p>no it was dissimilar because the author of the passage said there was no narrative or something like that while the reviewer praised the narrative.</p>

<p>by narrative i meant no literary elements, or something. i forget. but it was dissimilar for sure and the reason had to do with literary structure or something</p>

<p>It was similar bc both the reviewer and the author said that the emotions were understated.</p>
