<p>I don’t remember what the answers were to that one…</p>
<p>I remember I put something like the “logge” could represent a corpse and that the poem can help someone greiving over someone’s death…</p>
<p>logge=corpse, definitely. i didnt put the grieving one, i dont think… =/</p>
<p>Ok, I found 4 of the passages from the test, wanna see?</p>
<p>re: everything i have seen in the thread so far</p>
<p>first, in general i found the questions much harder than those in the kaplan prep book. i was a little shocked at first but i ended up being OK and finishing with one minute to spare. surprisingly, the only 2 passages i found difficult were the ones about the train and the poem about pygmalion and the sculpture.</p>
<p>for the first question i put that it was just the narrator and the reader. i wanted to put Joseph also but there was just no evidence that i could find. question: what did you guys put for what does NOT describe her. i put presumptuous because i felt like all of the others did. </p>
<p>for the trumpet i put that it represented his desires of the past, present, etc… i also remember putting that the emphasis did not represent the bleak rain, and that it reminded him of the feelings when his lover left him. i thought this one was pretty easy.</p>
<p>for the mythology poem i put I and III also!</p>
<p>logge = corpse also. i was about to put dead tree branch but it asked for the METAPHORICAL meaning so it couldn’t have been that b/c it’s too literal. i put explicit meaning also. </p>
<p>woman who is racially independent i put the clump was individual human beings, which was represented by a “great soul.” I also said that she is like a proud person who at times feels like people don’t get her. </p>
<p>epic simile for the one about the iron horse being a train. that one might have killed me. did you guys also say that in lines 17-21 (wow i remember them) the passangers are NOT being compared to farm workers? that question was a time sucker.</p>
<p>oh, and i also put that the poem about lillies could help console a friend when there is an untimely death. it was btwn that and “make the most of life while you have it” but i put console because i thought it focused on remaining happy even when it has lived its short life. i could be wrong though. :)</p>
<p>I put that the passengers were not being compared to farm workers, but I think Mrs. Slipslod was pretty presumptious. I put something about “NOT piano player’s presence.”</p>
<p>The lily poem was about a child’s death and how he feels that dying innocent and with a bang is better than dying old and decrepit.</p>
<p>UGHH.
i had a really hard time with the train one and, believe it or not, the lily poem. i think i completely misinterpreted the lily one, and even though I think i got the majority of the train questions right, it wasted a lot of time. </p>
<p>which one did NOT refer to slipshod?
i put lust but i think im wrong.</p>
<p>and yes, whoever found the passages online, please send them to me :)</p>
<p>Here ya go (if this is illegal let me know cause I don’t think CB has a copyright on these…):</p>

<p>"It is not growing like a tree</p>
<p>In bulk, doth make men better be;</p>
<p>Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,</p>
<p>To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sear:
A lily of a day,
Is fairer far, in May,
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light. </p>
<p>In small proportions we just beauties see;
And in short measures life may perfect be."</p>

<p>"“Do you intend to result my passion? Is it not enough, ungrateful as you are, to make no return to all the favours I have done you; but you must treat me with ironing? Barbarous monster! how have I deserved that my passion should be resulted and treated with ironing?” “Madam,” answered Joseph, “I don’t understand your hard words; but I am certain you have no occasion to call me ungrateful, for, so far from intending you any wrong, I have always loved you as well as if you had been my own mother.” “How, sirrah!” says Mrs. Slipslop in a rage; “your own mother? Do you assinuate that I am old enough to be your mother? I don’t know what a stripling may think, but I believe a man would refer me to any green-sickness silly girl whatsomdever: but I ought to despise you rather than be angry with you, for referring the conversation of girls to that of a woman of sense.”–“Madam,” says Joseph, “I am sure I have always valued the honour you did me by your conversation, for I know you are a woman of learning.”–“Yes, but, Joseph,” said she, a little softened by the compliment to her learning, “if you had a value for me, you certainly would have found some method of showing it me; for I am convicted you must see the value I have for you. Yes, Joseph, my eyes, whether I would or no, must have declared a passion I cannot conquer.–Oh! Joseph!”</p>
<p>As when a hungry tigress, who long has traversed the woods in fruitless search, sees within the reach of her claws a lamb, she prepares to leap on her prey; or as a voracious pike, of immense size, surveys through the liquid element a roach or gudgeon, which cannot escape her jaws, opens them wide to swallow the little fish; so did Mrs. Slipslop prepare to lay her violent amorous hands on the poor Joseph, when luckily her mistress’s bell rung, and delivered the intended martyr from her clutches. She was obliged to leave him abruptly, and to defer the execution of her purpose till some other time. "</p>
<p>"At certain times I have no race, I am me. When I set my hat at a certain angle and saunter down Seventh Avenue, Harlem City, feeling as snooty as the lions in front of the Forty-Second Street Library, for instance. So far as my feelings are concerned, Peggy Hopkins Joyce on the Boule Mich with her gorgeous raiment, stately carriage, knees knocking together in a most aristocratic manner, has nothing on me. The cosmic Zora emerges. I belong to no race nor time. I am the eternal feminine with its string of beads.</p>
<p>I have no separate feeling about being an American citizen and colored. I am merely a fragment of the Great Soul that surges within the boundaries. My country, right or wrong.</p>
<p>Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.</p>
<p>But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of miscellany propped against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a jumble of small, things priceless and worthless. A first-water diamond, an empty spool, bits of broken glass, lengths of string, a key to a door long since crumbled away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be, a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still a little fragrant. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the jumble it held–so much like the jumble in the bags, could they be emptied, that all might be dumped in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them in the first place–who knows?"</p>
<p>" Come back to me, who wait and watch for you:–
Or come not yet, for it is over then,
And long it is before you come again,
So far between my pleasures are and few.
While, when you come not, what I do I do
Thinking “Now when he comes,” my sweetest when:"
For one man is my world of all the men
This wide world holds; O love, my world is you.
Howbeit, to meet you grows almost a pang
Because the pang of parting comes so soon;
My hope hangs waning, waxing, like a moon
Between the heavenly days on which we meet:
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang
When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
"</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
<p>too bad I understand them better now than i did during the actual test…</p>
<p>I know the last two also but Idk if I’ll get in trouble for this, will I? Its not answers…</p>
<p>for the moon one, was it “waxing and waning” because of the rising and falling hope in between her lover’s visits? or something like that?</p>
<p>That’s what I got, what did you get for the “drum emphasis” or whatever question? I don’t even remember the answers.</p>
<p>I put that the drums DIDNT emphazize the piano player’s presence. that answer didn’t really make sense since the piano player was barely mentioned.</p>
<p>Yeah! That’s exactly what I was thinking. At least someone agrees with me lol</p>
<p>you took bio in october, right? i vaguely remember us agreeing with each other a lot for that test, too :P</p>
<p>Yeah, I did actually. Go figure.</p>
<p>haha :]</p>
<p>hm, what else? “heap”=great society. </p>
<p>“it seems.”</p>
<p>OH. Admiring but skeptical?"?</p>
