Who is not paired correctly ( author) Walden and ??? ( because it was Thoreau)

<p>The quote about “sparing a dime” was 1930s, right? Also, what did you all put for the city that grew the most as a result of railroad construction in the 19th century? I chose Chicago.</p>
<p>Also, the incorrect author of Walden was Herman Melville.</p>
<p>Do you guys think the curve will be normal? Or a little harsher?</p>
<p>For the one that was about the book being paired incorrectly, the author Walden was paired with was Herman Melville, and he wrote Moby Dick.</p>
<p>I think the Johnson program one was poverty programs.</p>
<p>Which of the following did the conservatives oppose in the 70s? I put bilingual programs</p>
<p>Yes agreed about railroads studious. It was really weird though because I don’t remember the building of railroads in the 1930s.</p>
<p>I think it’s Pittsburgh though I put New Orleans. The Essential Content says, “Enabled Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Detroit to become thriving industrial and commercial centers.” due to the Transportation Revolution which includes railroads.</p>
<p>well…Barron’s said Chicago…</p>
<p>We’re still not sure if it’s Main Street or Age of Innocence. Both don’t really fit the bill. Does anyone else have any more insight?</p>
<p>I thought the test was brutal. I think the curve is gonna be normal because everyone on cc so far seems pretty bummed about it lol</p>
<p>@Rhythm: The 1930s question was separate from the railroad question.</p>
<p>@ephemeralbliss: I was stuck between Pittsburgh and Chicago, but I think the latter might make more sense (Chicago probably grew more). I’m not sure, though.</p>
<p>EDIT: It’s definitely Main Street. Sinclair Lewis was one of the Lost Generation writers, which the question was basically asking for (disillusionment with middle class conformity).</p>
<p>I put main street, I think it might have been age of innocence, though. Main street is about a small town, aoi is about New York City</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it was Chicago, cause all the railroads went there for the cattle slaughtering, which caused the city to grow</p>
<p>And what was the question about what caused baseball to grow fast. I put because urban cities grew, but I wasn’t sure.</p>
<p>Honestly Main Street seems too obscure to be the right answer</p>
<p>Studious, he poem u mentioned was written by a railroad worker who wanted more dimes</p>
<p>I put the growth of cities for baseball as well. Weird question.</p>
<p>Main Street is not very obscure. Sinclair Lewis regularly comes up on standardized tests, and his most famous novels are Babbit and Main Street.</p>
<p>This should convince you all of the Main Street answer: [SparkNotes:</a> Main Street: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols](<a href=“http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mainstreet/themes.html]SparkNotes:”>Main Street: Themes | SparkNotes)</p>
<p>“She does not, unlike most of the other townspeople, mindlessly conform to Gopher Prairie’s standards. Carol heroically tries to maintain individuality in a society that demands her conformity.”</p>
<p>“Carol constantly struggles with disillusionment in the novel, in her marriage and in her interactions with the community of Gopher Prairie.”</p>
<p>^yeah the baseball one was growth of cities. And for the woman one, was the answer that they didnt have property rights? I dont remember the question that well</p>
<p>I think it was indeed that married women had restricted property rights in the early 19th century.</p>
<p>Oh thank god lol so far most of the questions I was not sure about (plenty of them) I’m getting correct…</p>
