Official October ACT Reading Thread

<p>“Personal and professional stories also come across. Through certain drawings, we can place the artist at a particular church on a particular summer day, say June 30, 1636. An ink-wash shadow fixes the time: 8 a.m. Another shadow to the left has a different angle: 9 a.m. So we see him moving systematically across the page.”</p>

<p>It has to be an example of a date they can trace when he was painting or whatever</p>

<p>wait her getting the parka first was a choice???</p>

<p>did she get it before or after she danced for the president</p>

<p>it didn’t mention the size of the house</p>

<p>the one where he started painting had a specific name of the portrait it started with M i think i dnt think it was right</p>

<p>spectra she mentions dancing for the president bc thats when she got her parka. in order for her to dance she needs the parka and it seems to odd to give it after the dance</p>

<p>ahh i didn’t even notice it was a choice</p>

<p>i noticed the president one and i picked it</p>

<p>for, i tinhk it was #26, i put A, it was like photography is more realistic</p>

<p>also, what was #40? it was the one that said what plants are native to hawaii</p>

<p>i picked both of those answers too Daps</p>

<hr>

<p>photography was not more realistic …its the opposite photography makes it worse i forgot the exact wording of the answer</p>

<p>Daps, I don’t remember the answer choice for the native one, but in parentheses they had three non-native things people introduced. Those three were in the answer choices, so it was the other one.</p>

<p>I don’t remember a question about the main idea… what was the question/choices?</p>

<p>it definitely wasn’t the photos are more realistic answer. the answer was the one that showed his attention to detail.</p>

<p>the article kind of suggested anyone with a camera can take a realistic photo, but not everyone can paint something realistic.</p>

<p>the author speculated in the intro whether saermanns drawings reflected reality (which he gave the example as ‘scientific photographs’)</p>

<p>he ended up that the drawings were highly idealized, and therefore had an element of fiction in them. therefore, photos are more realistic</p>

<p>the photo is releastic but merely distilled ?</p>

<p>it was the parka first because she said that she danced in front of the president with it. logically, she would have needed the parka before she danced in front of him.</p>

<p>as for the artist conflict here… don’t read it so literally, it says we can trace him back to that day. if you think about it, what it’s really trying to get at is that his details were so intricate, you could tell when the date was, showing how carefully he painted (details, painting style)</p>

<p>thats right cgb8007</p>

<p>Photography skewed like reality or something liked that</p>

<p>“photography was not more realistic …its the opposite photography makes it worse i forgot the exact wording of the answer”</p>

<p>Are you sure?</p>

<p>“Few buildings, at least before photography, were observed with more passionate care.” Doesn’t that sentence imply good things about photography?</p>

<p>charlieharper …thats wrong. the third or fourth paragraph was tlking bout photgraphy…actually taking snapshots and said anyone could do that. it was talking bout painting photos</p>

<p>they said directly photographs were more realistic lol [1st paragraph]</p>

<p>yeah hopeful, that’s what i thought, and so i put photography was more realistic, and i thoguht the passage somewhat implied at the end that painters can skew their works</p>

<p>also, waht was the answer for why morris remained unknown? i said it was b/c she stopped writing after the wta but i wasnt sure…</p>
