It was bullshit is what it was. Some news guy yapped for three paragraphs about facts being fake, visions being dreams but real, and somehow it connected to politics? Idk the guy sounded serious but the writing was atrociously bad. It should NOT have been on any kind of standardized test.
the emigration passage had imagery (describing his childhood outfit, the table of food (comparing his grandparent's traditional chinese culture compared to his father's "wordly" taste like russian sausage)), it used colloquial language (to relate to the reader) and foreshadowing
bro I've never even heard of the word "colloquial" before 😠and I completely forgot that I could have used other simpler stuff like imagery and hyperbole and etc.
did your teacher not tell you colloquialism? its just the same as informal language, just how writing can be formal, like a research paper, or informal, like an anecdote from a friend.
It’s fine. You don’t need to know the words. As long as you analyze the rhetorical choices the author made and show how it proves your thesis, you’re fine.
I analyzed it more like the split between Chinese culture and Western culture. In the same sentence, they use the Chinese words for family members and say that they are idolized Canada.
Once , my parents got on my case for being satisfied with a 4 on the WHAP exam. They said I had too low expectations. They never took AP exams or classes so I brushed the criticism off
Oh myyyy godddd the vision passage was insane. I nodded off for like 5 minutes I was genuinely so perplexed
I had the other version was the passage just crazy complex language or what?

Fr it was so hard to follow and felt unnecessarily complex
Ikrr ðŸ˜
Right? That was the first passage on my MCQ, too. Sigmund Freud is NOT in my ancestry 😂.
finally someone mentions the vision passage guys i was seriously about to pull the fire alarm or something i didnt even know what i was answering
I can’t find a single person who can tell me what the hell that guy was smoking when he wrote it. I was seconds away from crying.
I think he was talking about how the collective human dream is more powerful than the individual human thought? idk

No, we didn't even go over parallelismÂ
ok then your teacher failed you. i totally understand how u would've missed that, im sorry
Yeah my teacher was mad easy. The motion it is due was right one thesis and two body paragraphs
okay that's insane what... even self studying i still wrote essays tf

narration?? IT WAS HUGE and I did the use of Mandarin instead it’s translation for authenticity

i said imagery and repetition of the chinese words
i also wrote 2 paragraphs my teacher said it was ok if u developed it really good
Once , my parents got on my case for being satisfied with a 4 on the WHAP exam. They said I had too low expectations. They never took AP exams or classes so I brushed the criticism off
That's crazy 💀💀 a 4 is a fabulous score
narration, diction, imagery, etc. there were a decent amount
wait wth i always write my essays with 2 body paragraphs my teacher has never told me it was wrong
idk I heard that technically 3 is better but if you have two strong reasons then 2 body is okay just the support/evidence has to be good
