~~Official December SAT CR~~

<p>The CR was definitely more difficult this time.</p>

<p>I know right! I was ready to bang my head after the first section because it was so effing difficult! The nature/business passage was especially ridiculous.</p>

<p>I had a hard time with the passage on the girl that liked the wilderness, and lived in alaska or new hamsphire. anyone remember stuff from that passage.</p>

<p>last one was something like "similarity between the parents and the girl," I put that they both liked to have daily contact with nature or whatever.</p>

<p>i didnt have that passage ^^^^^</p>

<p>Okay, I only remember a few questions here and there. The George Bernard Shaw vs. Shakespeare passage: </p>

<pre><code> What would be an example of something from the last line of the first passage ("something that inspires")
An antislavery novel that galvanizes the abolition movement.
</code></pre>

<p>How would the author of the second passage regard Shaw's idea of plays?
-Too restrictive for effective social commentary
- Too cerebral for accomodating poetic impulses (my choice)</p>

<p>What is the "question" that the second author doesn't want to ask?
-Who is the better playwright, Shaw or Shakespeare?</p>

<p>How do the two authors see Shakespeare?
- The first is mixed; the second praises his artistry.</p>

<p>anyone know the experimental sections?</p>

<p>aim chatroom: sat</p>

<p>It was pretty difficult at first...than as the test went on..it became pretty easy.</p>

<p>Woman fishing in Alaska; moved from New Hampshire passage (that's an unwieldy title, lol)</p>

<pre><code>Why does the narrator feel that she "was too late"?
- Most of the wilderness in the East had disappeared by then.

How do the parents live/feel?
-They live in serene contentment.
</code></pre>

<p>What do the lines (I can't recall) portray?
- Vivid imagery</p>

<pre><code>What is the feeling of the last sentence?
- musing contentment/happiness

What does the description of the narrator's house do?
- Shows how unusual her lifestyle is.
- Shows how difficult her life is.

What is the line "my father's people" for?
- Gives insight into narrator's history
- Accounts for misgivings of father about her profession (my choice)
</code></pre>

<p>i think i got like most of that passage wrong lol</p>

<p>^ i didn't have that passage</p>

<p>Alaska fisherwoman continued:</p>

<pre><code> In the line where the father says "I would rather do a few surgeries for the money", why would the narrator view this comparison as inappropriate?
- Positive things besides money resulted from her work.
-Her income had no bearing on her standard of living.
</code></pre>

<p>That was a very iffy question. I ultimately chose the first one, since her income obviously did affect her lifestyle.</p>

<pre><code> What is the narrator's assumption about her parents "wonderment" at her lifestyle?
- They dislike a nonurban lifestyle (This is not true; they lived in a country-like area)
- They have a fear of physical challenge (Her dad ice-skates, walks, and fishes, he obviously isn't afraid.)
-They appreciate basic comforts (My choice. The woman's house didn't have air-conditioning or heating. Those would qualify, in my opinion, as basic comforts.)
</code></pre>

<p>i HATEd the nature/business one</p>

<p>So the Alaskan fisherwoman passage is the experimental? That's good.</p>

<p>IT IS? That's the one I did the best on!</p>

<p>not necesarily, there could be and i believe there IS different versions of the test</p>

<p>Well, there were difficult questions in every passage, so the hard ones were scattered equally amongst the different sections. Or so I thought. Was it just me, or were the CR sections abnormally short? They only had 20-25 questions each.</p>

<p>thats what they are...could the first section ever be experimental?</p>

<p>did you have 2 passages in which you had to compare in one of the CRs. Mine was talking about shakespear and shaw</p>

<p>Writing was very short though</p>
