i said it didn’t have iambic pentameter. and also i put winter but i dunno about that one
The sonnet I thought was that the last two lines didnt rhyme
The season I think was winter but i need contexy
Aw man, I think I put it didn’t change after the first eight lines.
I found a link to the sonnet. it is called “To Sleep” http://www.bartleby.com/101/636.html
I found the sonnet, it’s called “Over and Over Stitch”
I put winter, but now I’m questioning whether the question asked for what season it was taking place in or what season it was talking about.
Also it was that it didn’t have concluding rhyming couplets.
For the politician one, I put “partially support” because I thought that when it said he wouldn’t be a martyr for it, it meant he wouldn’t “die” for it in the sense that it wasn’t something he would give himself completely over to.
Ah my bad disregard my above post. you’re right @ctnerd123! Lol I got confused between passages.
Anyone else get “effusive” for the tone of the poem To Sleep? At that moment for the life of me I couldn’t remember what “supplicatory” meant and now that I looked it up in the dictionary, yes A) supplicatory seems to be the right answer. Oh well 
Is the curve still going to be -2 800 do you guys think?
Also the last poem was a series of heroic couplets…?
I did put heroic cuplets.
-2 seems like a very bad curve
Well I guess it’s really 3 omitted=800 in The Official Study Guide for all Subject Tests. That’s still a very harsh curve compared to the majority of subject tests. I can only hope that it isn’t…!
What did you guys get for the “romantic felicity question”? I put that they she had finally found a home.
Also, that passage really didn’t have any mention of a male/female dynamic regardless of the historical context, so I went with “male”.
In that depressed woman passage, what did you guys put for the reason why she says that she’s too scared to tell other people about her pain, but can relax as she writes because the paper is dead?
@ThinquePrep I put that it was the kind of home that is the accumulation of romantic fantasies…? Something like that, I think it was answer choice A. I didn’t think that it was because she had finally found a home, as in the first sentence of the passage she explicitly states that they had “secure[d] ancestral halls for the summer.” I think that it’s a summer vacation house where the wife can regain sanity, as is revealed in the rest of the passage (which we weren’t given, but surely won’t be contradicted by CB): “He said we came here solely on my account, that I was to have perfect rest and all the air I could get.”
I think the reason is that the medicines are not working. Aside from the fact that this is feminist literature that illustrates the subjugation of women in marriage, it is clear that she receives treatment “phosphates or phosphites—whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise” and the treatment isn’t working, revealed by her anxious musings and general psychotic manner: "PERHAPS that is one reason I do not get well faster."The issue of male power is subtly implied but neither supported (well maybe, the other person she takes advice from is her brother) nor refuted by the passage. So I guess it comes down to little to no mention at all vs. clear mentioning in the passage, and I think it’s better to choose what was directly refuted by the passage.
For Sonnet to Sleep, what was the image? I think one of the choices was garden or something.
I think i put death but that might have been a different question.
I put night, but it very easily could be death
I feel is a plea for death’s “soothing” powers over the speaker’s troubles, because of the mentions of the casket, poopies and etc…
For the Play question on tone, where it was like flippant as one answer and cynical and compassionate as another, any thoughts?
Also for the first passage last question about the meaning of the “threaded” on the joyous moments in life?
Was it both I and II? II said something about evocative of romance and mystery, and I thought that’s just what the wife wished for but isn’t necessarily something we can infer according to what “the wife and husband said” in the passage.
Was it cynical and compassionate? I think I picked the choice with compassionate, but I remember the other part of the pair being really accurate, but cynical doesn’t seem exactly right…
For patronizing, was it partial support to or lacks confidence in?
I picked flippant and serious. I choose that by threaded it means how when experiences are connected together life is so much more interesting. Reading the poem over, however, I am not so sure. @fireonice which question are you referring to in the husband wife passage?
