<p>boorishly could work since he loves his horse more than the girl, right? the definition of boorish is something like insensitive... so .... you're sort of insensitive if you like a horse over a woman? I'm not sure. I don't think it's stubborn because nobody ever asked him to not like the woman over a horse, so he couldn't "insist" on liking the horse (which is basically synonymous with stubbornness, right?)</p>
<p>fastidious was a choice about Louisa, i remember.</p>
<p>and oh yeah, I might have put the one choice you didn't list on that character study/monologue Q. if you remember it, i'd really appreciate it, but I completely understand if you don't.</p>
<p>At the moment I can't remember any other choices, but I'll see if I can jogg my memory...</p>
<p>For the sheath poem, I got that lines 9-14 represent the wheat gathered in bundles, lying there. And it resembled a fairy tale.
Call my OCD, but I keep thinking that there might have been more than 61 questions. Ugh.
"just reproof" = rationalization?</p>
<p>OH! yes, it was rationalization. I forgot what the Q was though... do you remember it more completely? You're right on that one, I think. Unless I got it wrong too.</p>
<p>Yes, fairy tale. And yes, 61 Qs.</p>
<p>umm do you agree with my reasoning for "Boorishness"?</p>
<p>why did the poet write the epistle? to show how dull life is without him? to show the repetitiveness of domestic life or something? they seem like two sides of the same coin. </p>
<p>was there simile or something in the first stanza of the epistle? and I seem like the only person who put that the squire had a boisterous love ... </p>
<p>whose pov was "dear man?" and whose pov was it for that one about Louisa being?</p>
<p>For the "dear man" one in the country lady passage, I put her point of view, though I though it could have been the poet's as well. Another question - the two characters connect EXCEPT....? I was deciding between BOTH WERE PULLED FROM AN ENJOYABLE PASSTIME BY AN AQUIANTANCE and another answer...Does anyone know the correct answer for that question?</p>
<p>Also, in the Prosody 101 reading, there was a question saying the events the poet speaks of proves all of the following EXCEPT, and I was choosing between the unimportance of the prosody 101 class and something else. Also for this reading; What was the attitude towards the "surprise of tone" by the end of the reading? Was it APPRECIATION FOR THE STRIKING IMAGES IT PRODUCES or DELIGHT OVER THE QUAINT PICTURES IT PRESENTS?</p>
<p>The passage had all of the following except for - Balance? I think the other options were apostrophe, analogy, similie...</p>
<p>And what was the answer to the question about the variation in the Prosody 101 passage?</p>
<p>I can't remember what passage it was for, but did anyone say that the first paragraph of a passage was a DETAILED DESCRIPTION. I think the other options were periodic sentence, similie, metaphor..</p>
<p>wyarose, it was appreciation for striking images (I put that at least... "quaint" doesn't seem right)
I'm not sure what POV it was, nyneve.
I said epistle was to show how dull life is without him... because the Q was like "his motivation" to write the poem or something... right?</p>
<p>it didn't have apostrophe, I think. You know apostrophe is, right?</p>
<p>and what variation question? choices? question?</p>
<p>about the dragon's teeth allusion (from Wikipedia):</p>
<p>"Cadmus, bringer of literacy and civilization, killed the sacred dragon that guarded the spring of Ares. The goddess Athena told him to sow the teeth, from which sprang a group of ferocious warriors called the spartoi. He threw a precious jewel into the midst of the warriors, who turned on each other in an attempt to seize the stone for themselves."</p>
<p>so, would the barbarians answer be the best one? I don't remember the others...</p>
<p>wyarose: i wasn't sure about the answer for that pasttime one, but i put that they used endearing terms. i don't remember the woman addressing the poet at all, while the woman was pulled out of her reverie about the coronation.</p>
<p>for prosody 101, I put unimportance of prosody for the EXCEPT one (because the poet is writing about it, so it should be important). </p>
<p>clarissa_d: I think the dragon's teeth was had to do with life. Books aren't usually considered living, and neither are teeth, but both give rise to something lving.</p>
<p>and explode, i think the question did ask for his motivation, supposing the poem is to try to get her to love him.</p>
<p>"…as if the dragon’s teeth had been sown broadcast, and had yielded fruit equally on hill and plain, on rock in gravel and alluvial mud, under the bright sky of the South and under the clouds of the North, in fell and forest….</p>
<p>The reference to “dragon’s teeth” alludes to the legend of the founding of Thebes: Cadmus, having killed a dragon, sewed the dragon’s teeth (at Athena’s direction) in the ground; from these an army sprang up, but fell to fighting one another until only five were left. It was these five that became the ancestors of Thebes (Sanders 143). Dickens’ invocation of the founding myth of Thebes is appropriate to the revolutionary period, in which a new France was being founded through conflict. Moreover, the fact that the Theban men founded Thebes by fighting with one another is appropriate to the domestic events of France during this period: While the Republic fought to defend itself from its European neighbors, it waged internal war under the Reign of Terror. As Carlyle puts it, “Nor with heroic daring against the Foreign foe, can black vengeance against the Domestic be wanting” (666)."</p>
<p>darn i think i got the dragon's teeth question wrong...the other Q's were pretty fair though</p>
<p>"I know they [books] are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon's teeth: and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men."</p>
<p>"vigorously productive" seems to suggest giving rise to life.</p>
<p>edit: misread your post. well ... i may be wrong, but i felt the focus of the quote to be on production , not the fact that the men were soldiers. it's consistent with the rest of the passage too.</p>
<p>variation in each line= rhythm of iambic lines? </p>
<p>Does anyone know the roman numeral choices for the effect of the weather on the garden? I___ II___ III___</p>
<p>I'm still unconvinced about the question regarding Louisa's work style and behavior. Since she is very particular about how the books are arranged and wants to be in "control of her surroundings," it would make sense to say that she is "personal and idiosyncratic" with her work style and behavior. Can someone argue the answer "awkward and fearful?"</p>
<p>"For the "dear man" one in the country lady passage, I put her point of view, though I though it could have been the poet's as well. Another question - the two characters connect EXCEPT....? I was deciding between BOTH WERE PULLED FROM AN ENJOYABLE PASSTIME BY AN AQUIANTANCE and another answer...Does anyone know the correct answer for that question?"</p>
<p>I put the same. Although the poet was pulled away by his friend, it makes no mention of something similar happening to the woman, not that I recall/ed at any rate. And all the others seemed to work.</p>
<p>"I'm still unconvinced about the question regarding Louisa's work style and behavior.

Can someone argue the answer "awkward and fearful?""</p>
<p>I put personal and idiosyncratic, but I can see awkward and fearful. Awkward I think is self-explanatory, but fearful could be interpreted as if she were fearful of the outside world or fearful of giving into her feelings about the man.The outside world part you could have drawn from the question about the dust on the carpet. I could see that answer working. But, nonetheless, I think personal and idiosyncratic a better choice.</p>
<p>Also, wasn't there an EXCEPT question concerning Daggert's behavior towards Louisa. The answers include 1) clumsy 2) unable to be himself 3) intimidated by her 4) impatient with her. I chose 4 (forgot the corresponding letter).</p>
<p>also, was an onlooker making the conjecture about Louisa's "stiffness"?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember a question concerning the "motivation" of the speaker for the long poem (city vs. country)? Along the same lines, I remember a question about the effect of repetition in the beginning lines. I put that it was a criticism of urban life because the lady's day was routine-like.</p>
<p>yeah, but the lady lived went to the country right? I don't remember what the Q was so i can't tell you if you were correct or incorrect. Motivation was to show the woman how dull life would be without him.</p>
