<p>oh right, the "life bores me" section
one of the last answers: "wry" descriptions</p>

<p>and the last reading about the guy (with the whole trees exploding and geese)
the article describes how he made a "decision"
he wants to "begin" a journey..
umm.</p>

<p>thanks, got most of those answers</p>

<p>For the poem on men and female writers: the play was probably a satire written by a woman was the first answer. The rest of the questions were somewhat vague. Did anyone get "men write religious poems" for "According to lines 5-10, men believe everything EXCEPT"? The other choices were 1) men are intellectually superior to women, 2) women were once smarter, 3) women used to write better poems.
Also, what did the word "copy" mean in context? 1) women could imitate men's style of writing, 2) women could make them characters in a play, 3) women could adopt men's mannerisms.
The last answer for that section was "the poem berated men contemptuous of women's writing"</p>

<p>long islander.. yes to satire, yes to religious poems.. I agree with both!
And for meaning of "copy" I put women could adopt men's "mannerism" because it talked about not only style of writing, but also actions (as referenced in the play_
and yes to the last answer! yippee!</p>

<p>In the "satire" by the woman, was there use of </p>

<p>Allusion? or
Understatement?</p>

<p>Also, what was the answer to the use of the word ,
"my friends" in the life bores me poem...</p>

<p>i remember one choice was instruction.</p>

<p>yea it was direct something...
but "instruction" was the answer to another question.. so you're right =)</p>

<p>& the question on the painless grief... </p>

<p>was the answer to the question about line 3-4 that
it is Different portrayal of scene in line 1 ?</p>

<p>I said criticism for your instruction one...
and does anyone remember anything about the Bleack House one? (fog fog everywhere) that was intensely hard.</p>

<p>yourdirtysockzx, I put they were reversed.. because the first line talked about how the "deep" (aka sea) turned into the land with a tree growing, and the second line said the busy street turned into the sea.. so the subjects were reversed</p>

<p>should i cancel...or if i do really bad..will it just show up as i had a bda day since my english honors and AP grades are all Asand i am taking a college english class??? and I have a decent crit reading score???</p>

<p>i need two sat 2s...otherwise i wouldnt have taken it</p>

<p>don't cancel. Your other grades will show you had a bad day if you don't do as well as you would have liked.</p>

<p>anyways, back to the test... criticism over instruction - i don't think it was criticism or instruction, maybe one of the other choices...but i probably put criticism as well. (how would "my friends" and the blessed men who truly grieve... show criticism).
hey guys (and girls?), what about the Pit-Buffoon q? (which one wasn't referenced to men or women?) was it half-wits? </p>

<p>also, the Half-taught in anguish (the guy hasn't felt the full intensity of grief yet?)</p>

<p>hey TakemetoCali: Bleack House one? (fog fog everywhere). </p>

<p>um... i remember the subject was "Gas" for one of them (not Sun).
and it was a criticism against the Brit legal insititution?
and it WAS NOT about the poor...(am i right?)</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that it was instruction. The narrator was directly speaking to someone, offering her beliefs in a teacher-like way. For the Bleak House passage, my answers were: "creates a tangible atmosphere"; the comparison between mud and commerce was "linking physical with commercial"; the thematic unity of the piece is supported by everything EXCEPT "reference to heaven and earth in the last line"; and the primary purpose was to either "show gross ineptitude of legal system" or "rejection of british society and culture, especially decaying London." Also, in the Roman-numeral question, the fog is emblematic of what? Can't quite recall that one.</p>

<p>I said it was sun, cause I looked back at the sentence structure, and it was comparing the gas looming over something like the sun looming over the other people.
I had half-wits as the one that wasn't addressed because the passage said "and your half-wits, you unthinking tribe" so I took it as half wits were not people but something possessed because they were the half wits of the unthinking tribe.</p>

<p>I think it raped me hard....HARD.</p>

<p>Who said I didn't like it rough though ;)?</p>

<p>does anyone have an idea for a scale????</p>

<p>I hope it's SUPER generous:)</p>

<p>OMG the test was SOOO hard. The passages were easier than the May one but the questions were just as ambiguous. I can't believe it I didn't even get to the last 5 questions and the proctor cheated us out of a minute!</p>
