<p>score prediction for 15 wrong for math n reading? x.x i mite cancel..</p>
<p>ok sorry, sumkutegirl</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>actually i think this is right.</p>
<p>what did you guys get for the one question about what the language in two lines did? i think i put symbolism?</p>
<p>Thanx everyone. I’ll be heading out.</p>
<p>there is a debate between symbolism and overstatement. It can be overstatement because couple of magic items cannot bring fortune, optimism, blah blah. But it can be symbolism because magic items were symbolzing those things…any clue? </p>
<p>5/6wrong and 3omit will get me 700+, yes?</p>
<p>think i put symbolism?</p>
<p>I put symbolism, but sb else proved it to be wrong, and that it should be overstatement or sth like that.</p>
<p>i think i put personification because it said “she was clutching her opportunities/something in her hand, wealth, fame, etc”</p>
<p>probably wrong though</p>
<p>hmm thats cutting it close, seahwang.</p>
<p>i had a 58 raw for a 720 in october and you would have a 56 or a 57 with those scores. so it might be like 690-710ish.</p>
<p>damn i forgot what i put for that :(</p>
<p>for the people arguing about dismay. i think it talks about the power of his shadow in comparison with Lincoln’ shadow. isnt that awe.</p>
<p>gah, lets just hope i did well on math and writing then…</p>
<p>Bless you all, CCers, for making such a magnificent CR thread. Good night, and good luck.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure it was awe</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>it wasnt really saying “my brother is wonderful, like abraham lincoln.” i remember that it was something about the memorial…and then it went on to say that he visited it a bunch of times or something. this just shows how “perfect” he was.</p>
<p>to me, “awe” is positive. they didnt like the brother, he annoyed them. i think its dismay.</p>
<p>dictionary.com - dismay-dishearten thoroughly. i think this is what the brother did. he would come home and be so wonderful and the mom’s favorite child, etc etc, that the kids were rolling their eyes and unhappy with him. and the girl also degraded him a little, i think i remember.</p>
<p>awe-an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear just doesnt do it for me. they didnt want to be like the brother. and they didnt admire the brother. he annoyed them.</p>
<p>i thought about overstatement but i went back and read the passage and chose symbolism. are you guys sure its overstatement?</p>
<p>i thought he admired his brother. :0</p>
<p>i didnt get that from the passage. the girl is saying kind of in a sarcastic way, “dennis this, dennis that, blah blah blah.” do you get what i mean. i definitely didnt think the siblings liked him.</p>
<p>What did everyone get for the irony question?
Did anyone else get governesses shouldnt be learning, they should be teaching?</p>
<p>for me, i was down to 2 choices: awe and dismayed. I thought both were a little too strong/absolute so i decided to read the passage again (the paragraph only). It seemed like the kids MAY have been dismayed with the mother, but the passage never said anything about their being dismayed with the brother. It did have some negative reference to lincoln memorial, but not enough to make them feel dismayed (thoroughly dishearthened) by the brother. meh i think im wrong, im just writing this to make myself feel better.</p>
<p>yes echelon, mostly everyone did</p>
<p>Both authors agree that internet companies lost investments-are yall sure this is right, i put both authors agree that the main motivator was greed, since in both passages they wanted to get rich.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Governess
. Point of final paragraph is to show immediate effects of her new magic tricks-I put the point was to trick the hostess, because the paragraph isnt the immediate effect of magic tricks, the immediate effect was enjoyment and a loss of respect for Edward.
. Point of kid running out of room screaming = show extent of how children want to fool the adults-i dont agree with this one either, she said something right after the kid screamed like she would have many more shows, so the point was to predict her future sucess, i think
. Suitcase symbolizes her unsettled life-i put it represents her past, because she always closes the lid metaphorically and moves on, and in the suitcase hides her troubled past, which she has put behind her in the suitcase
. Hard (the new life) = onerous-missed this, its obviously right
. “Freedom from bondage, wealth, power, fame” = overstatement-its not exactly an overstatement, all these things could come to her, but the objects do symbolize all these goals, imo </p></li>
<li><p>Shakespeare Two Passages
. Author 1’s “conception” of the tests are misguided? or idealistic.( I think it is idealistic because the passage says that the article believed that De Verve “perfectly fit”-i went with misguided after thinking about it, because the whole passage was about passage 1s flawed logic.</p></li>
<li><p>Puerto Rican writers paragraph
. Author = reject the widespread practice as inappropriate (the practice of separating into English and Spanish journals, eclipsing their unity) The other feasible choice was the coinciding two conflicting views, but I thought it was clear that bringing them together > separation in the author’s view, especially with his word choice of “eclipse” in the final sentence.-there was a choice about denouncing what critics said, and if i remember correctly it was reviews that carried out the practice of diving puerto rican literature, so in a way, he is blaming the reviews/critics</p></li>
