<p>It was definitely his old friends that breathed easier. His harassed old friends were the people who had once barricaded their doors. The ladies and lads, referred to his bar friends. 100% sure.</p>
<p>Another one in Ulysses was that you “have to constantly perform deeds” to get recognized.</p>
<p>@picordy I disagree because the entire passage revolves around his opportune death and how he received such media attention for his death. So without the death, he would have not been as well known.</p>
<p>His old friends breathed easier, after harassed old friends, there was no subsequent verb for that subject and so it had to be that. And logically it makes sense, his old friends that he used to harass can now breathe easier because he’s dead.</p>
<p>Wait nevermind about the journalists/friends thing I was thinking of another question. </p>
<p>I agree that Marius would’ve been inconsequential; what textual evidence suggested he would’ve been a criminal? He was obnoxious but he didn’t commit crime.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember more frog questions? What do you think about how “let me count the waves” is compared to “let me count the ways”?</p>
<p>It’s common events.</p>
<p>It said many of his actions resulted in jailtime</p>
<p>@descuff “About the lady, I think it was referring to her state. So I thought the answer was fragile.”- The answer was emulated anger. She was not shown to be fragile in any way. She, however, was shown to not be able to naturally exhibit anger.</p>
<p>@picordy “Also, has Marius not died, he would’ve been a petty criminal. He did have some consequence because he caused trouble”- I don’t think he was a criminal in any way, but he probably would have been less significant.</p>
<p>Also, lady eustace question is definitely parenthetical statements and not arguments</p>
<p>It didn’t say that anywhere. The main idea of the passage was that because of the apt timing of his death, he became famous and then went on to provide a contrast with others who spoiled their death who are now not famous with little to say. The answer was 100% person of less consequence.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put that it introduced humor.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put that it was a sympathetic aside, but given the satirical nature of the passage, ironic interjection may be right.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think the answer’s actually the thing with parenthetical notes/asides, since there were a lot of side comments from the speaker.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The “dangerous” lady is definitely not fragile. The “criticism of her being cold” answer fit much more closely with the speaker’s overall characterization.</p>
<p>@picordy- It does not say that the man was a criminal, but it did say that his old friends would often experience a trip to the hospital or jail, not necessarily the man.</p>
<p>The Frog in the Swimming Pool
- Blended into his environment
- Unattractive and lonely
- “Let me count the waves” is compared to “let me count the ways” because it relates common events</p>
<p>Marius
- “Bless his heart” = ironic interjection
- Marius was not a bigot
- Death= overexaggerated
- Police were not satirized
- Muffing = spoiling the opportune moment to die
- Had Marius not died, he would have been an inconsequential figure
- Marius was seen as a minor talent
- Friends were relieved by his death</p>
<p>Lady Eustace
- Calculated allure
- Sir Florian is a victim
- Hair accesories
- Passage was broken down into parenthetical statements
- Her thin pink streak of heart indicated her contrived anger</p>
<p>Ulysses
- Worldly attitude
- Ajax = latest to gain fame
- Usage of similes and metaphors
- (question about alms)
- Time was the most discussed
- The gods’ recognition was due to gained renown
- One has to constantly perform deeds to gain recognition</p>
<p>Despair
- Silent was the answer to the first question
- In was the word omitted</p>
<p>I agree about parenthetical statements but I can’t remember emulated anger as an answer at ALL. but I know that she did do that so I’m really confused right now. 
Was that the same question that had an answer that said she was manipulative? because I picked that one.</p>
<p>Wow I suck. I didn’t do as great as I thought I did I guess. :/</p>
<p>Ladies and lads or old friends?</p>
<p>I agree with all of 314159265’s answers except for the sympathetic aside.</p>
<p>For the parenthetical question, I chose expository statements ending with logical conclusions erg. I guess dashes count as parentheses? News to me.</p>
<p>Tactile imagery and common events.
I don’t understand the “introduce humor” option. That passage was not humorous at all.</p>
<p>Another question in the Lady Eustace one was the narrator’s attitude towards her. I think I put judgmental?</p>
