students'performanceon it,by the Chief Faculty Consultant,Linda Hubert.Following these are the scoring guidelines used by thefaculty consultants at the AP Reading.There are alsosample student responses for each question,along withcommentary indicating why the essay received the scoreit did.A distribution of student scores on each free-response question appears on page 71.  \n## Question 1-Overview\n\nThis question required students to read the 24-linepoem“Blackberry-Picking”by contemporary Irishpoet Seamus Heaney,“paying particular attention tothe physical intensity of the language.\"In the well-organized essay they were asked to write,they werecharged to explain “how the poet conveys not just aliteral description of picking blackberries but a deeperunderstanding of the whole experience.”\"Students wereprompted to include,should they wish,an analysis ofany of the following elements:diction,imagery,meta-phor,rhyme,rhythm,and form.  \nThis fine poem by a first-rate poet was a pleasingtext,apparently,to both the seasoned teachers whoscored the essays and to their young charges who wrotethem.No one faulted this selection,except perhaps toremark that the AP English Development Committee,with its poem by Eavan Boland last year and with theone this year by Heaney,had suddenly“gone Irish.”“Blackberry-Picking”proved more immediately acces-sible to students than last year's poem by Boland(orindeed many others that we have provided in pastexams),and its appeal seemed to transcend nationality,gender,race,and age.Almost all students were able todescribe the situation of the poem and to understandat some level the speaker's response to the quicklydeteriorating stash of berries.They seemed to enjoythe vividness of the poem³s language,even if theyoverlooked much of its suggestiveness.  \nThere were numerous examples of student achieve-ment on this question:superior students could workeffectively with the literal and metaphoric dimensionsof the poem without losing sight of their interconnec-tion—without flattening the poem or diminishing itsrichness.Competent students of poetry recognized the  \ndefining perspective ofyouth versus adulthood as theytook note that the poet works through the memory ofthe man to reconstruct and assess his boyhood experi-ences with blackberry picking.Some wrote of the ruralritual of blackberry picking as it patterned the cycles ofthe seasons;they conveyed with aptly chosen specificdetail how the strong,evocative language underscoredthe speaker's youthful exuberance and greed.Some fewsaw implicit in the boyhood excess the genesis of theolder speaker's disappointment and despair.  \nHowever,for many if not most students,the abilityto probe the connection between the all but sinisterdescription of the fragility of the berries and thespeaker's annual encounter with life's transience waslimited.Too few went so far as to link the speaker'sdeepening recognition of the inevitable decay of theberries with the implied defeat of grasping,greedyyouthful optimism.Nor did they develop an extendeddiscussion of the mature speaker's understanding
