This question counts as one-third of the total essay section score.) Carefully read Olive Senior's 2005 poem “Plants.” Then, in a well-organized essay, analyze how the poet portrays the complex relationships among the speaker, the implied eudience, and plant life. You may wish to consider the author's use of such literary techniques as syntax, diction, and figurative language. Plants Plants are deceptive. You see them there airborne traffic dropping in. And what looking as if once rooted they know about those special agents called flowers? their places; not like animals, like us ‘Dressed, perfumed, and made-up for romancing always running around, leaving traces. insects, bats, birds, bees, even you— Yet from the way they breed (excuse me!) 25 —don’t deny it, my dear, I've seen you and twine, from their exhibitionist sniff anid exclaim.

AP® ENGLISH LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION 2018 SCORING GUIDELINES — Version 1.0 Question 1: Olive Senior, “Plants” General Directions: This scoring guide will be useful for most ofthe essays that you read, but in problematic cases, please consult your table leader. The score that you assign should reflect your judgment of the quality of the essay as a whole—its content, style, and mechanics. Reward the writers for what they do well. The score for an exceptionally well-written essay may be raised by one point above the otherwise appropriate score. In no case may a poorly written essay be scored higher than a three (3). 9-8 These essays offer a persuasive analysis of how the poet portrays the complex relationships among the speaker, the implied audience, and plant life. Using apt and specific textual support, they demonstrate consistent and effective control over the elements of composition in language appropriate to the discussion of poetry. Although these well-focused essays may not be error-free, they are perceptive in their analysis and demonstrate writing that is clear and effectively organized. Essays scored a nine (9) have especially convincing analysis and effective control of language. 7-6 ‘These essays offer a reasonable analysis of how the poet portrays the complex relationships among the speaker, the implied audience, and plant life. Using textual support, they are organized and demonstrate control over the elements of composition in language appropriate to the discussion of poetry. These focused essays show insight in their analysis, and they offer clear and controlled analysis and writing. Essays scored a seven (7) have solidly developed analysis and consistent control of organization and language. 5 These essays respond to the assigned task with a plausible discussion of how the poet portrays the complex relationships among the speaker, the implied audience, and plant life, but the analysis may be superficial and thinly developed. They often rely on paraphrase or general textual support that includes some analysis, implicit or explicit. Their analysis and discussion may be vague, formulaic, or minimally supported. ‘These essays demonstrate some control of language, but they may be marred by surface errors. These essays have difficulty presenting a cohesive idea, clear organization, or sustained development of analysis, 4-3. These lower-half essays fail to offer an adequate analysis of the poem. The analysis of how the poet portrays the complex relationships among the speaker, the implied audience, and plant life may be partial, unconvincing, oversimplified, or irelevant. Evidence from the poem may be slight or misconstrued, or the essays may rely on paraphrase only. The essays often demonstrate a lack of control over the conventions of composition: inadequate development of ideas, accumulation of errors, ot a focus that is unclear, inconsistent, or repetitive. Essays scored a three (3) may contain significant misreading and/or demonstrate inept writing. 2-1 These essays compound several writing weaknesses. Although these essays make some attempt to respond to the prompt, they are often unacceptably brief or incoherent in presenting their ideas, The essays ‘may be poorly written on several counts; they may contain pervasive errors that interfere with understanding, ‘The ideas may be presented with little clarity, organization, or supporting evidence. Essays scored a one (1) contain little coherent discussion of the text. 0 These essays give a response that is completely off topic or inadequate; there may be some mark or 2 drawing or a brief reference to the task. ~ ‘These essays are entirely blank. © 2018 The College Board.
