Ok so on the THIRD essay, did anybody study novels that didn’t fit it at all?

For example, i prepared especially:
Crime and Punishment (<- takes place in st. petersburg… a huge city)
Death of a Salesman (<- city again)
1984 (<- UH OCEANIA… no country setting whatsoever… or so i thought until somebody mentioned it… been awhile since i read it and i just sparknoted it the day before)

So i was like ***FFF you are kidding, right?

But luckily I remembered Tess of the D’Urbervilles which I used… I was surprised i remembered more than i thought (like character’s names… Angel, Alec)

I am surprised that people took “country” as nation. How does that even make sense? Come on guys, you are in AP english classes, you should have figured that out… I hope AP people will take kindly to you though… I would be nervous…

Hawk essay was completely butchered by me… i interpreted it as people should pay attention to their nature and surroundings instead of interpretting everything so ‘logically…’ or some shi.t like that.

I don’t know about the play essay. Did anybody mention Agatha in the essay? I did and I hope it’ll give me some extra points for not leaving the 4th character out…

Imaginary iceburg was the crappiest poem i ever read… the first poem was easy though.
