What did you guys thought of the AP English Lang. & Composition exam?
Going into the exam, I was fully prepared to bomb it, my teacher, a very mellow fellow, basically had us color and write poetry the entire year. But I thought I would at least try. It was not as hard as I thought it would be, I mean the multiple choice weren't easy, but they weren't hard, they all seemed to be so similar though I felt like I was reading the same page over and over again. But the essays, I owned them!!!!! The penny essay I rocked it, I talked about the penny being here to stay because of its pyschological value. And that picture of the penny, I started laughing when I realized that was seriously one of the doents, but then I thought about it and threw in some bits about Lincoln, and set up this sweet ogy about severing ties and its impact on the psyche. I used 6 of the 7 doents and threw in a great counter argument where i used the doents to tear each other apart. That was hopefully an 8. The ysis was a 9, I talked about parallelism, repetition, extended metaphor, and rhetorical questions, all supporting the necessary attributes for scientific research. The argument was hopefully an 8, I talked about Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, and used some other invented situations to support corporations in schools, but only if they do not negatively impact the educational process. I was so happy with my essays, I really thought I was just going to sit there for three hours and catch up on some sleep. But it went really well and I think I have a shot at a 5, I hope everyone did well too:) PS what the hootskies was colloquial? That word made me so mad on the multiple choice.
