I said that Maggie was self-denying because before she conceded that Dee could have the quilts, there was that whole bit about "with the attitude of anyone who never has anything reserved for her."
Also, the answer to the sonnet question was most DEFINITELY rhyming couplet. I put the "dumb duck, chattering pie" answer even though it ultimately didn't seem in line with the poem because the rest of the answers appeared totally irrelevant to me.
I also answered that Mama wanted Maggie to have the quilts because she thought she would use them better, evidenced by "as if all you could do with quilts is hang them" and "good! they should be used" as far as Maggie putting them onto beds.
Also said ambivalence...
I said melancholy... said narcotic about the poppy... tan and calloused in the last sentence... I said I, II and III for the "spiders are indelicate question," but that I knew was against my better judgment so I'll deal if I got it wrong.
About narcotic: Alll of my friends were like "no no, that answer choice was too literal!" But in this case I think it was supposed to be taken literally, because poppy as a narcotic LITERALLY puts people to sleep... but as a poison, doesn't it also? I had Wizard of Oz flashbacks for this question.
In the sleep passage, was light in contrast with the speaker's desire?
For the Dee question you mentioned, rhyn0, the answer was that she was rejecting the name of her grandmother or something like that I THINK... and yeah for the last question on the test I said what you said about the speaker feeling that his love is more genuine...
For the question about "scurf," I just laughed for a minute because I was like WHAT THE HELL? But then I chose "calloused" which I think is correct. Also, there was no contrast between communicativeness : uncommunicativeness, right? And... uh... I think for me the hardest question on the whole test was the one that was something like this:
The speaker feels that the "white hand" is that which is...
something
something
something
misguided
something
Misguided? Does that make any sense at all?
Urgh, I'm scared! When do grades come out?
