<p>Can we confirm any other SC since there is no real controversy regarding those?</p>

<p>What people seem to be forgetting is the last line where the author acknowledges that she was well aware that the answer she gave was not the answer the interviewer wished to hear. </p>

<p>Throughout the entire passage, the author acknowledges what the reporter wanted to hear. Stories of treasures, gold, glory. She then contrasts this with what she actually told the interviewer. About bugs, the heat, her dirty hands. The author blatantly expresses that she KNEW what the reporter wanted to hear, and explicitly gave answers she wished to give instead. That is being haughty or dismissive. She does not acknowledge the glorified view as truth.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The tone wasn’t necessarily disdainful, more skeptically sarcastic. Sardonic as a tone is dark, biting, sarcasm. The author spends the entire passage setting up the final line “a true prodigy.” He is being sarcastic in acknowledging her as a prodigy, rather he is unimpressed, or to an extent disdainful due to the girl’s sly nature in attempting to establish herself as a prodigy when she in fact is not. He isn’t disdainful about the girl’s ability to play piano, he’s disdainful about her tendency to fool others and put on the facade of being incompetent when she actually works hard. Also, prodigy in this sense is a natural genius at the piano and while true prodigies in real life do indeed practice in order to excel at what they do, in the context, the words “a true prodigy” is meant to contrast with the lines where he establishes that he heard her practice quite frequently.</p>

<p>I said inflated language. Insincere sentiments sounded like an overstatement of the innacurate black dialogue. And they used the word oratorical, which works with inflated language</p>

<p>how does CR exp work? is 1 ENTIRE section experimental? or are there passages from each section that are experimental?</p>

<p>and to shed more light on the passage,</p>

<p>the author says that as a child, he/she had a love for words for the imagery they evoked. she wants to stay true to this, “in spite of” career poets, literature today etc etc</p>

<p>it was a short passage, only two questions followed. </p>

<p>ANYBODY? :D</p>

<p>yes NJsterling, one entire section was experimental.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the child and love for word passage. What was it about? and what was the flippant question that everyone has been talking about?</p>

<p>Any one have an idea what a -3 or -4 would be for CR, with no omits?</p>

<p>w/e, even if I do miss the inflated vs. insincere one, that is only a -1 so far. I can’t recognize from 27 pages any others I have missed, so that is good.</p>

<p>@Corey: probably around 750-770</p>

<p>how many questions could i have gotten wrong to still get at least a 600?</p>
