<p>She went, to plain-work, and to purling brooks,
Old-fashioned halls, dull aunts, and croaking rooks:
She went from opera, park, assembly, play,
To morning walks, and prayers three hours a day;
To part her time `twixt reading and bohea,
To muse, and spill her solitary tea,
Or o'er cold coffee trifle with the spoon,
Count the slow clock, and dine exact at noon;
Divert her eyes with pictures in the fire,
Hum half a tune, tell stories to the squire;
Up to her godly garret after seven,
There starve and pray, for that's the way to heaven.</p>
<p>You're prob. right about the motivation Q. Was there a question about how the above passage reflected a routine-ness of life?</p>
<p>Regarding the wheat passage, do you remember something about what "another day" signified?</p>
<p>For the fair day question, I said "another day" was referring to the day being remembered for more than just the weather.</p>
<p>And the question...number 60 I think....what does the symbolism of lines 11-14 (the last part) most directly translate to? I said that the wheat has an individual life of it's own (because it spoke about the wheat getting up and walking away one day).</p>
<p>So in a land where all days are not fair,
Fair days went on till on another day
A thousand golden sheaves were lying there,
Shining and still, but not for long to stay --
As if a thousand girls with golden hair
Might rise from where they slept and go away.</p>
<p>Wyarose: Do you remember the choices for that question? My answer was more literal: the wheat was harvested, bundled and lying down. </p>
<p>How did you guys figure out the tone of the "Epistle" poem?</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the first question on the test?
- impersonal argument
-passionate plea
-criticism of society
-revealing monologue
-objective narration</p>
<p>also, what does the author means by "variation"?
I don't remember all of them but I put rhythm of iambic lines, but some other choices were: change in tone, change towards subject of poem, writer's interpretation of traditional symbols</p>
<p>i want to make sure that it's apostrophe... does anyone remember this Q? and yea now that i see the choices and remember them, it's revealing monologue</p>
<p>1.The man loved you except he loved his horse more: he is Boorishly Rural or something. Or either hes stubbornly devoted to a long time companion. I think I put the first one. (But boorishly could work since he loves his horse more than the girl, right?)
2. Purpose of last stanza - to show how speaker feels
3. contrasts: Rural vs. Urban
4. Woman in country/city poem wanted courtly society. (choice C)
5. Tone of something - don't remember which one: sarcastic to personal and affectionate; I think correct.
6. There was no apostrophe in a poem. Verified with others.
7. If the poem is interpreted to mean that the man wants to be with the woman, why did the poet write the epistle? To show how dull life is without him (I put that), or to show repetitive nature of domestic life?
8. The two characters are the same EXCEPT: (I omitted this one)
9. dear man in line 5 is written from the point of view of ?
10. Both man and woman use: endearing terms? (I think I put this)</p>
<p>How many Qs were there for the epistle section, anyway? I remember thinking "yesss I'm done with this section" and then i flip the page and I'm like "darn, they reprinted it so I could do more questions on this section... boo."</p>
<p>7) Was there another question similar to this one but had "to show repetitive nature of domestic life" as the answer? I remember that the question cited specific lines from the poem.</p>
<p>8) Except: both were interrupted from their musings </p>
<p>10) do you remember the choices from this one?</p>
<p>for some odd reason, i seem to remember the interrupted/endearing terms choices as for the same question. as in, both were choices for the EXCEPT question. >< </p>
<p>if that's not true, then when did the woman use endearing terms?</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."
- I put "impracticality of prosody"</p>
<p>"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?"
-I put "striking impression"</p>
<p>I also got "repetiveness of domestic life" for something on the Epistle passage</p>
<p>Was DAggert unable to be himself or impatient w/ Louisa?</p>
<p>I don't think the poem was disparaging Prosody 101...instead it aided her to see the variations both in poetry and in life... or at least that's the way I interpreted it. Otherwise, prosody 101 would have been impractical, but it was of some value to the poet..
What were the other answer choices?</p>
<p>What does another day signify/differ from the fair days in "Fair days went on till on another day"?
-I put it was a day in the past?</p>
<p>What is the consensus for the meaning of "undivined"?
I put unknown then changed it to accidental.</p>
<p>What dual meaning did Dagget have when he says, "You do beat everything."?
I think I put he thought she was peculiar but he was annoyed
I know A was something about hinting at her to change</p>
<p>For the question about which words Dagget would NOT use to describe Louisa, I put "apalling"</p>
<p>For Prosody 101,
How did the woman feel about herself when she compared herself to the flowers?
-middle/old aged</p>
<p>What did she mean by "you had been a cold front yourself lately?"
-comparing lover to weather?</p>
<p>-i think it is "unknown." At least, that is the consensus so far.
-I think I did put the peculiar choice too.... can you elaborate on choice A (there's a slight chance I put that choice b/c i remember it..)
-yeah, I put apalling. Other choices?
-I didn't put middle/old aged, I think.... I think I put (permanently?) damaged by a ___ something. does anybody else remember anything about this?
-I put the same answer about comparing her lover to the weather.</p>
<p>The few sentences in the passage - "She spoke with a mild stiffness. Either she was a little disturbed, or his nervousness affected her, and made her seem constrained in her effort to reassure him.": Joe Daggett's point of view - or was it an onlooker's point of view?</p>
<p>and for the wheat poem:</p>
<p>Shadows of wind: wheat bending from invisible wind (I think choice C).....?</p>
<p>I put onlooker's point of view. I wasn't sure about it, but I thought that was the best choice and I put the same thing for the wheat poem, explode.
I also put "unknown" I believe.</p>
