<p>1a1, i interpreted uncertain to be tentative rather than indecisive.</p>
<p>Even reading it that way van_sant, the musicians have already made the choice not to embrace the celebrity life, so why would they be uncertain/tentative (don’t seen any hints of being tentative)?</p>
<p>maybe they saw potential to advance their careers using celebrity means? like the narrator guy; he was conflicted</p>
<p>Ah, but that’s a “maybe”; you’d really have to read into it to draw a conclusion like that, something I don’t think the test asks for.</p>
<p>ah. i looked up the dictionary definition for dismay, which is “to cause to lose courage or resolution; unnerve”. that makes sense! the other definition of dismay doesnt though, which is horrified/ revolted. cool…that question is resolved</p>
<p>For the Russian/Southern authors one…the question that asked what the author thought of the descriptions of sounds in the white Southern authors’ books…I kept going back and forth between “nostalgic but ultimately unsatisfying” and “faithful representations of life in the South”…because I thought she was unsatisfied because she kept looking for other reading material that resonated with her better…but the other choice made sense too. Which one did you guys go with and WHY?</p>
<p>Also! For the one that asked (celebrity passage) what passage 1 author would think of Edward Whoever [one of the choices was about challenging the publisher’s authority]…what did you guys choose and why… and WHAT WAS “B”? Because I was stupid and randomly bubbled it in because the proctor was calling time as I was trying to make a decision? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I put “faithful representations of life in the South” because they were good portrayals of certain events (labor, dog), but not of everything.</p>
<p>I think B was “not conforming to society”, which is what I put.</p>
<p>Quote: I think B was “not conforming to society”, which is what I put. </p>
<p>I don’t understand this. why does the author of passage 2 says that he acquiesces to the celebrity trend but we can still choose the answer?</p>

<p>This is the last list we had. But I don’t remember “don’t give in to public’s expectations” and “representation.”</p>
<p>For the archeologist, it’s not a metaphor! It’s a repitition!</p>
<p>heyyy what was the right answer for the question like what would best represent the Russian books (sumthign liek that)

<p>The narrator’s last comments about his prodigy friend didn’t seem very sardonic, or “bitterly sarcastic”.</p>
<p>doe sany1 rememeber this question and answer (for the louisiana book/russian author one)?
i rememebr one choice was like a photograph of everyday life
another choice was a realistic painting
another one was like an abstract painting</p>
<p>i put that she was being frank because she was simplifying the archeologists’ job as a scavenger and she was being truthful about it…flippant means “lacking in seriousness”
but im pretty sure that the archeologist was jokingly serious about being a scavenger/trash digger</p>
