Official SATII Literature!

<p>logge is definitely old man</p>

<p>is there usually a large curve on this? cause according to many people in my school, hardly anyone takes it because its so difficult (...as I have unfortunately discovered)</p>

<p>Guys, do you agree or disagree with the following: </p>

<p>1) In the passage with the woman who said a lot of italicized words wrong and who really wanted to get with a younger guy.... one question was roughly, "What is this woman NOT?" (lusty/aggressive/pretentious/ironic). I said Ironic. </p>

<p>2) For the Dickens passage, they asked a question about "enlightened strictness". I said that that was satirical or mocking. (the author sounded like he was snubbing the 'enlightenedness'.) </p>

<p>3) In the soldier/piano sonnet, the last few lines mentioned something about a rock moving across his face and knocking away the peaceful expression, or something. They asked what the rock did NOT represent. I said death, but maybe the malleability of emotion (or whatever) is correct b/c rocks aren't malleable, last I checked. </p>

<p>4) I said logge was tree branch but THEN i changed it to old person and THEN i changed it again (at the very last minute) to corpse. Anyone agree? </p>

<p>5) For one of the Pygmalion questions (forget which), did any of you say "made her his Queen even though she was demonic" (or something)? Was that the same question as had an answer choice of something to do with supernaturalism and sex? If so, I picked that second thing, not the first.</p>

<p>6) In the passage about the Indian wedding, they asked something about waht the site of the wedding indicated. One choice was "physical and emotional distance" and one was "traditional romance v. 20th-century pragmatism." I put the second one--what's right? </p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>For the one about the London passage, it asked what strategy the author used in the last few lines. </p>

<p>And I said negation and repetition to reperesent to monotony of London.</p>

<p>And I'm not sure which question it was, but one of the lines definetly involved sex between the dude and his statue.</p>

<p>i put immodest and indiscrimatory as well. rankly reminded me of frankly. lol</p>

<p>1) In the passage with the woman who said a lot of italicized words wrong and who really wanted to get with a younger guy.... one question was roughly, "What is this woman NOT?" (lusty/aggressive/pretentious/ironic). I said Ironic.</p>

<p>I put lust</p>

<p>2) For the Dickens passage, they asked a question about "enlightened strictness". I said that that was satirical or mocking. (the author sounded like he was snubbing the 'enlightenedness'.)</p>

<p>I put mocking as well</p>

<p>i put gravestone. </p>

<p>4) I said logge was tree branch but THEN i changed it to old person and THEN i changed it again (at the very last minute) to corpse. Anyone agree?</p>

<p>i put corpse</p>

<p>5) For one of the Pygmalion questions (forget which), did any of you say "made her his Queen even though she was demonic" (or something)? Was that the same question as had an answer choice of something to do with supernaturalism and sex? If so, I picked that second thing, not the first.</p>

<p>I put that she reognized him as creator</p>

<p>6) In the passage about the Indian wedding, they asked something about waht the site of the wedding indicated. One choice was "physical and emotional distance" and one was "traditional romance v. 20th-century pragmatism." I put the second one--what's right?</p>

<p>i put pragmatism</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>For the enlightened strictness one, enlightened was used ironically.</p>

<li>satirical/mocking</li>
<li>i totally forget</li>
<li>old man</li>
<li>i forget</li>
<li>i out tradional v. pragmatism</li>

<p>Did anybody else think this test was really tricky?</p>

<p>"1) In the passage with the woman who said a lot of italicized words wrong and who really wanted to get with a younger guy.... one question was roughly, "What is this woman NOT?" (lusty/aggressive/pretentious/ironic). I said Ironic."</p>

<p>My answer was the one that you didn't mention; don't worry, I can't remember it either. She seemed lusty because, well, the sentence I just quoted indicated my reasoning for not choosing that answer...she certainly acted aggressively...I don't remember pretentious being an answer choice, although I think you may have confused it with a similar word...I didn't put ironic because the fact that she used so many "nonstandard English" words and yet was praised (with or without sincerity) by the Joe...Joey...dude as being "educated" would most certainly offer irony to the reader. Wait, I'll see if I can dig up the passage...</p>

<p>dude, its corpse. like effulgent said, its already fallen. when the oak tree was alive it was an old man, but after the log fell, its a corpse. 100% sure</p>

<p>pretentious wasn't one of the choices. it started with prem</p>

<p>There were only 60 questions... right?</p>

<p>My answer for the one with what the woman was not had "self" somewhere in it, I believe.</p>

<p>Yea, i can see now how it could be corpse :( I guess the oak is more like the old man, and once it falls its the corpse. I still don't think anyone can be 100% certain though because who knows how theyd interpret it, but probably corpse</p>

<p>Ahh, here she be:</p>

<p>[I decided to edit out this passage because it may be copyrighted. I am somehow incapable of going back further in the thread to edit out any other potentially-copyrighted passages, but I felt inclined to remove this one nevertheless.]</p>

<p>"Oh, Joseph" -- that was one of the questions. I can't remember my answers though.</p>
