SAT II Literature

<p>I put capitulate because that means to surrender or give up resistance, so he was sorrowful that she surrendered to her husbands views on slavery and began treating him inhumanely.</p>

<p>do u remember the answer? the wording can be crucial</p>

<p>There weren't really any indications of surprise; there wasn't any diction that related to "surprise".</p>

<p>I think I did pretty good on this test. This is the second time I took this test though. They had the exact same test for the May 2007 test. Lol.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the one about the woman who lost her husband, what her words meant by something about a dream?</p>

<p>lol... how can they have the exact same test for the may 2007 test??? r u a seer, ^^?</p>

<p>^Lol, I meant may 2006.</p>

<p>Anyways, does anyone remember the question in the slave narrative passage that has an answer choice of "bitterly ironic"?</p>

<p>What is the tone of the woman with the flowers?</p>

<p>What about the sleep sonnet question with why he uses the pronoun "our"?</p>

<p>What would 2 omit, 4 wrong be?</p>

<p>I put bitterly ironic because the narrator said the wife was trained how to use irresponsible power and treat slaves bad or something like that. It's ironic cause irresponsible and power are kinda ironic, and he seemed kinda bitter about it lol.</p>

<p>it was similes and allegory</p>

<p>^guru, do you remember the question for that one?</p>

<p>adh: I put parallelism and contrast.</p>

<p>I also put parallelism and contrast, though it was a guess. Anyone else?</p>

<p>And I put sorrowful that she capitulated to slavery. He didn't sound bitter. He was actually understanding of how slavery could do that to someone, but also just sorrowful that slavery could do that to someone.</p>

<p>I don't really think he sounded bitter... at least he didn't show it, he seemed rather sad, cos he liked her but then she started to treat him like crap... usually u can only get hurt by ppl who u care for, so sorrow would make sense</p>

<p>I put sorrow at her capitulation too. I think he seemed more sorrowful than bitter.</p>

<p>How about the tone of the meeting b/t the two people with the flower and Maine?</p>

<p>What was the purpose of that? Melancholy tone?</p>

<p>i put bitterly ironic too...capitulate means surrender so i didnt think:</p>

<p>"He was sorrowful she surrendered to slavery"</p>

<p>Made any sense. It seems more that she was corrupted by the power that slavery brings. Also, the tone in the passage did not indicate sorrow but more a determined and bitter tone.</p>

<p>my 2 cents anyway</p>

<p>really? wut makes u think of a bitter tone? did he reveal any animosity towards her?</p>

<p>I thought he was quite understanding of her, or at least the oppression of slavery. He blames slavery, not the mistress herself. I'm almost sure that its sorrowful.</p>

<p>Whatd you all say for the poppy one? Is poppy a narcotic or a poison, I thought it was a narcotic.</p>

<p>I also put narcotic.</p>

<p>Narcotic.</p>

<p>How about the point of view question in the first prose passage about the slavery? It was someting about point of view in the 2nd or third paragraph. I put it was the POV of the woman.</p>
