<p>There was a thread like this one earlier but it has apparently since been deleted by its originating poster. Go figure.</p>
<p>What did everyone think of today's test? I have tons of questions.</p>
<p>...But first, let's see if I can remember and list all of the reading passages - this may help to jog everyone's memory. Let's see if we can create a "question-and-answer database" of sorts.</p>
<p>-Long term/short term beauty (?) poem
-Combat soldier reflections/piano performance passage
-African-American woman in Harlem passage
-Monotony of the life of the London working class passage
-Woman encouraged by her husband to break with tradition and regard herself as equally esteemed as the males of her culture</p>
<p>...I'm sure I'll think of more soon enough (or perhaps others can contribute).</p>
<p>Okay, regarding the long term/short term beauty poem. What did the "logge" represent? I answered that it represented the aging and death of an elderly man or woman. Who would be best advised by this poem's theme? My response indicated that a young person - being encouraged to savor his earlier years while they last - would be most appropriately advised.</p>
<p>Regarding the combat soldier reflections passage, to what does the term "thawed" refer? I answered that it referred to the music bringing tears to the speaker's eyes.</p>
<p>Regarding the African-American woman in Harlem passage, what did the speaker's general outlook appear to be? I answered that she seemed to shift between periods of joy and d...d....some sort of word beginning with "d" that, if I'm not mistaken, indicated shame for her society. Or something like that. Or not.</p>
<p>I remember a poem in which a corresponding question asked in which lines the main verb was implied; I answered lines 7-8, although I am highly unsure of the validity of my answer.</p>
<p>I'm sure I'll think of more questions, answers, passages, etc. soon enough...</p>
