language techniques.

Once you hit the senior years, English starts to get really sucky.
You can't get away with having simplistic answers to questions.
For example,

How do we know the character of the novel has accepted the change? 
Use language techniques.

If I could, I would say, "Because he said so."
That exam would probably come back coated in red pen saying,
"Stupid girl, this answer is inadequate. You should go to standard."
Since I'm in advanced.

I was feeling quite nonchalant today.
Our first half-yearly exam.
For one part we had to analyse a cartoon and how it conveyed feelings of belonging.
This was my answer:

"4 out of the 5 characters are covered in squiggly lines. This indicates confusion and anger influenced by human problems outlined by the caption. 
The fifth character is smiling, and walking away from his pile of squiggles because he decided to be smart and move on."

Hell yeah.
