AR disagrees with BS's interpretation and says there are godly forces at play which ultimately reveals to the protagonist of A that there is only one real way forward so there is no personal autonomy.
(2) identify different perspectives and the author’s attitude
Author is neutral here too. AR is on the "god" side of the debate.
Last name only keeps author id more anonymous to prevent discrimination. There is also a culture of caring about the advancement of scholarly knowledge rather than the advancement of personal glory. Weird academic culture thing that occurs in some, but not all, academic spaces.
Because the debate is over "the power of the gods" and "individual autonomy" never in the passage does it talk about a highly intelligent person. It's in the first sentence of the passage.
Does the same rule go for paragraph breaks? I've been a bit confused as to how we might be able to do those on the test itself; ie. if we should use a highlight for it or take mental note of it as well.
Yes, you will get scratch paper. Unfortunately it will probably take too long under regular timing to write out the low-res summaries. So these are something you'll want to do mentally by test day. During initial stages of practice it can be helpful to jot notes, though.
Right now I'm writing the summaries down, but just to reinforce the ideas we're learning. Once I feel confident in my ability to make these low res summaries myself I'm going to try not writing anything down and see if I keep all that info straight in my head. We shall see what works haha!
For most high scorers, this is just a mental process. Some find it helpful to jot down a few words for each paragraph, though. You might want to experiment!

I'm actually falling in love with the course, lol I wonder how rigid the drills are going to be like, but so far, so good., lol ;]
THE SECOND PARAGRAPH ._.
(1) make a low-resolution summary
AR disagrees with BS's interpretation and says there are godly forces at play which ultimately reveals to the protagonist of A that there is only one real way forward so there is no personal autonomy.
(2) identify different perspectives and the author’s attitude
Author is neutral here too. AR is on the "god" side of the debate.
(3) predict the direction of the next paragraph
Author will present her own opinion
wait... theres more than one paragraph?? oh.
@ThomasEddingtonIII LOL xD
@ThomasEddingtonIII LOL. My thoughts exactly.
Last name only keeps author id more anonymous to prevent discrimination. There is also a culture of caring about the advancement of scholarly knowledge rather than the advancement of personal glory. Weird academic culture thing that occurs in some, but not all, academic spaces.
@rbahu No. Clearly it is because they are protecting the authors from hate mail. (Just kidding)
@JeromedoesLSATPREP 💀
"it's like they want to keep their identity secret to prevent hate mail" -- like if they are women...sad but true.
how would we know its the "power of the gods"? It just says superhuman, cant that just be a highly intelligent person?

It says deities
We've got this!
Are we able to have a paper doing the test and write down our our concepts as we read?

I think mental note, or highlighting with a certain color
Kinda scared that I'm going to stumble on a big word and don't know what it will mean
Okay. I can do this!
Should we actually be writing these down? Like our low res summaries? Or just keeping them in our head?

Thank you Kevin!
Ok I think I'll try this too. thanks!
Good idea!
These lessons are killer! Short and to the point, I can see how this type of analysis will be beneficial to tackling these questions.
