<p>For the Lady Eustace passage, I remember putting an answer down for the parallelism between each description, as the all started with the same phrase, but I don’t remember for what question.</p>
<p>@Shaq395 That’s what I had as well! It was something about how the passage was structured.</p>
<p>Rain- I hope so too! I rechecked all of mine and I felt pretty confident in them. I think we’re on route for at least a four, praying the essays are good. What did you say about the antecedent question for the Marius passage? I said ladies and lads because it seemed that was the only subject that didn’t have a verb but my class was torn between that and old friends</p>
<p>bruceparklee- yes that was the answer, and the syllables didn’t even line up either.
Rain202- I thought that question was the one with the parenthetical statements listed as the answer.</p>
<p>The touch of nature- I thought it was a quality common to all people? It said that the touch of nature made everyone kin.</p>
<p>NRNitz1, this was discussed many times and we’ve concluded that the answer was old friends. Ladies and lads refers to the bar friends.
Starchywinky- I said that the touch of nature is a quality common to all people with the same reasoning.</p>
<p>I believe I said ladies and lads as well.</p>
<p>Was the regular meter question a listing and was it asking for everything EXCEPT something?</p>
<p>Wait for the “Her thin pink streak of heart indicated” question, why wouldn’t the answer be coldness? because they mentioned what little blood they had in her heart which I immediately said as coldness. I don’t even remember contrived anger as an answer…</p>
<p>Also what did “vigor of bone” mean?</p>
<p>I’d have to read that stupid 10- line sentence again to figure if it was old friends or ladies and lads.</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
- Doesn’t contain regular meter</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
- Antecedent = ladies and lads?</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
- Sir Florian was bewitched by her</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>

The “could breathe easier” definitely refers to the “harassed old friends”.</p>
<p>I believe I said coldness for the thin streak of pink, though I’m not sure. And vigor of bone means physical strength</p>
<p>It was coldness. I interpreted it as “tiny streak” meaning that that was all she had in the first place. No way she was frail though.</p>
<p>Vigor of bone - physical strength?</p>
<p>I was looking for that passage! Couldn’t find it!</p>

<p>Most of the frog poem is here, the last few lines are missing.</p>
<p>Ugh shaq you’re right. Thanks for the link</p>
<p>Yes! That was a total random guess…</p>
<p>Also, there was a question asking which described Achilles; was the answer “gilt over-dusted”?</p>

<p>Dreamer- I thought that the pink streak of heart showed a little bit of distasteful emotion (that is not usual in her personality) and thus a little bit of contrived anger. The passage refutes all claims that she is a cold person, and rather depicts the opposite.
And for “vigor of bone” I said physical strength but that was a guess.</p>
<p>I also said Achilles was gilt overdusted.</p>
