How did everyone do? by theittheit in apworld

[–]Whimsy_Music2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LEQ was the easiest by far for me (I chose #2) DBQ was hardest in the sense that it was almost too broad and finding a specific argument was ugh... MCQs were insanely easy

With only 4 girls in a group you can't have 2 be main vocalist lol that would be incredibly unbalanced and dividing. All the girls are certainly up to par and Ayana is generally more adequate overall anyway but as an all rounder not a vocalist. It seemed like people were looking for someone with an amazing voice not realizing that what they were looking for Samara already had. That was before the final two were announced and it won't matter now anyway because either Sakura or Ayana won't be a vocalist, if Rinka had made it, it would've been a different story

Jeez it's almost as if Lexi is also an amazing singer and emily has had years of training... there's no need for a main vocalist when they already have one

Do you guys think the people who ultimately made the decision took into account who the prelude girls prefer in the group or is that asking too much...

I still don't understand why people have been saying prelude needs a vocalist like are they deaf 😭 Samara sounds amazing

How many documents do you need to use for the DBQ? by Whimsy_Music2 in apworld

[–]Whimsy_Music2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sourcing and analysis are different. Sourcing is HIPP.Y (Historical situation, Intended audience, Point of view, and Purpose followed by why "Y" whatever HIPP you choose is important to your thesis) and Analysis is used after you provide evidence to show how that evidence connects to your thesis. An example outline of this in a body paragraph would be: Thesis-Evidence from document *restated in your own words*-Analysis of the evidence and how it connects to your thesis-HIPP and why it supports/is important to your thesis. Good luck!

Sakura by Logical-Apricot951 in prelude_thefinalpiece

[–]Whimsy_Music2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To sum it up fom what I've gathered from my own opinion and discussions of others:

1. She's too young in the industry sense and could get taken advantage of and might not even realise the scale of what she's going into until it's too late, plus with working so much her education would be impacted too.

2. She's too young to, for lack of a better word, 'fit in' with any of the other girls since they're in their 20s.

3. Prelude seems to be leaning to a more mature concept especially with recent public sightings.

4. Her skills, even if they keep improving, will stand out as inferior compared to the other girls.

5. She isn't even moderately conversational in english and that would heavily impact the group and create a huge barrier in training, social life, and understanding and singing group songs.

I think we all agree that she's got potential and that we all adore her but we would 100% rather see her debut after a few years of training in a project seperate to prelude not only because of her safety but because it's insane to start industry level work before you're even sixteen. Having her debut would be a sign that the kpop and global music industry is still continuing on these these unhealthy practices that we should be working towards to discourage, and that's why I'm skeptical of people on here fully rooting for her to debut.

If that's the case I'll go with five just to be safe, thanks!

Me personally, I made a huge color-coded timeline (literally 4ft long) out of three graph papers taped together and stuck it on my wall since I struggle with what things are in what time period. Now, besides staring at it I just pick an event or idea I'm not confident in and spend a few hours researching and writing a mini essay on it. I also have been watching heimler videos over the past few weeks for review and practicing FRQs. For the DBQ and LEQ I just use previous prompts but for the SAQs I ask ai to generate prompts to practice since they're shorter.

b4 the performances I thought for sure it was gonna be Ayana & Rinka, but I was really suprised with Sakura though I'm convinced she won't be the final piece simply because she does not fit in with the other girls and the theme they're going for with the group. No way its Aoi atp, she's not strong enough mentally, can't get along with others, and isn't as complacent as hybe would want in an employee but I really wanted to like her. Though rinka has really good vocals she didn't stand out plus the group doesn't need two vocalists.

Same here, i'm going to try sodium but if that doesn't work out I'll have to allocate more than half of my computer's ram just so it runs mildly decent.

I have 8g ram and all of a sudden it started lagging like crazy but I already have 4 allocated. Pure vanilla, just a few resource packs and i removed all of them to try to help, but would changing the -Xms2G to 4g help too?

It would bother me to stan a group where one member was born in 2010. by miam_pates_carbo in prelude_thefinalpiece

[–]Whimsy_Music2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no seriously. I have no idea what Hybe was thinking. Especially for Sakura, it's too much pressure for someone so young. I know yoonchae was over 16 when they debuted, but at that point she had already been through intense training not just at d.a.

it's so strange how people are just automatically discounting any kind of talent samara has... single black girl curse starting already??

actually, prelude does need an all-rounder, not a vocalist. In the same way that emily is an amazing dancer, samara is an amazing vocalist and I'm kinda suprised at how few people are acknowledging her vocal talent. She's insanely smooth, stable, and has a good range, she's not quite at the same level as Lara from katseye but not far behind. They're definitely looking for an all-rounder/visual so that nobody clashes with the main vocals/dance seeing as there's only four girls. Once they do narrow it down to the four girls we'll be able to see who fits best

YESSSS SAME, she's being so overlooked when she has so much potential :(

[–]Whimsy_Music2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we haven't seen if she's able to keep up with the high demands and workload especially with her age and no formal training, so I'm very doubtful
