<p>I’m definitely sure it was not grandmother. I specifically remember rereading the question and noticed that it ended with a colon or something. If you put grandmother, you would have said the father’s grandmother. The main character resembled his mother, not his grandmother.</p>
<p>I put mother and I believe that was right because I remember rethinking that one to make sure</p>
<p>what did you guys think of it overall?? I thought it was harder, at least the reading</p>
<p>I thought reading was the easiest honestly because I finished with 5 minutes left and had plenty of time to review my answers. Science is what probably brought my score down though.</p>
<p>Science was prob the easiest of all of them. Anyone else?</p>
<p>what did you guys get for the question on the bookstore passage about whether it was argumentative, informational, etc</p>
<p>i found science the easiest, then math, then english, then reading hardest</p>
<p>I said argumentative</p>
<p>the answer was argumentative</p>
<p>Yup reading sucked</p>
<p>@jennwhenn, I said adult looking back at his ancestors or something. The child/teen didnt make sense.</p>
<p>it was adult looking back at his/her past or something like that</p>
<p>“an adult looking back at two of his relatives”</p>
<p>for a while i thought there was just a limited 3rd person…crap i dont even remember anymore</p>
<p>@TenAcidT I put informative rather than argumentative as well.</p>
<p>I also put informative. It didn’t seem to sway to either side. </p>

<p>My reasoning for argumentative was because he was arguing that superstores and the internet provide greater options and stuff than the hipster bookstores. This is why he chose to provide an opposing opinion about the lady who wrote about capitalism/protesting bookstores or something. He wanted to challenge the idea that small bookstores are better. The idea of the the essay being argumentative was evidenced in another question or two when it asked about why the author decided to include the lady’s opinion.</p>
<p>he was trying to put both sides of the argument in the essay but the author wasn’t really taking a stand on either side, he was just displaying the information, aka informative, if it was argumentaive he wouldve chose a side</p>
<p>It seemed to me that he took a stand on the side of the superstores simply because of the way he addressed the other side and concluded the essay. After he gave the lady’s opinion, he went into great detail about how the “new order” of doing things was superior to the old way. </p>
<p>He even stated or quoted that people in the hipster bookstores acted like they knew more about literature than they really did, so IMO that was more indicative of an argumentative essay than an informative essay.</p>
