Tunisian passage details author’s feelings of being a foreigner</p>
<p>The father passage was not experimental. I had it and I had a writing experimental.</p>
<p>in the virgil passage, there was osmething about the bed being soft? the choices included comfortable & tender? or did i read the question wrong? was it about his dad’s face being soft?</p>
<p>Author’s job is to anticipate readers’ reaction or
something about reader’s sophistication?</p>
<p>I put “defensible” too because his quote was later defended by the other reasons for not wanting to go on the turnpike.
Although “incomplete” does make sense now</p>
<p>the dictionary definition of hostility is: opposition or resistance to an idea…</p>
<p>I definitely think the author was being hostile to the idea of being friendly…(at one point in the passage, the author said, “Why on earth would one think that being friendly is good?”) that’s come across to me as very hostile and mean…</p>
<p>skepticism on the other hand means that the author was doubting the effectiveness of being friendly…I don’t think he was doubting it, he was more refuting it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was about the father’s face. I put “tender.”</p>
<p>well, some questions I remember are…</p>
<ol>
<li>a fish was very (integral) to the environment so its (extinction) will have negative effects or something…</li>
<li>the two friends never allowed their different opinions to come between them, so their friendship remains (steadfast). – this I hesitated between “conditional” and “steadfast”…</li>
<li>museums not only (exhibit) Chinese arts, but they also (reproduce) them to sell as souvenirs…</li>
</ol>
<p>Reading questions…</p>
<ol>
<li>What does “trick” mean — is it “feat” or “ruse” or “illusion”… i don’t know.</li>
<li>The author says “no matter” and dismisses as irrelevant how “people specialize in their fields”?</li>
<li>What does the author feel about the Japanese cinema? “appreciative” or “awestruck”?</li>
<li>Why does the author mention “cowboys” and “something else(i forgot)”… Is it to make a cross-cultural comparison??</li>
</ol>
<p>please reply!</p>
<p>

<p>Then why did the author bother to include the quote from the guy supporting the use of comedy in the workplace? This seems to be the mark of someone who is skeptical, not of a hostile person.</p>
<p>what about the smelling like a brand new show?</p>
<p>evoke sensory?</p>
<p>This definition from Merriam-Webster is more in-line with the standard usage of “hostility”:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I put.</p>
<p>Then why did the author bother to include the quote from the guy supporting the use of comedy in the workplace? This seems to be the mark of someone who is skeptical, not of a hostile person</p>
<p>I think he included a quote from the guy to add sarcasm. He put quotation marks around “think outside the box” in order make clear that he was being sarcastic.</p>
<p>Was altruistic in the experimental?</p>
<p>would 6 wrong = 700?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not remember this; was it experimental?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put “feat.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I put.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not remember this one. I do remember a similar question in the science passage for which I put “appreciative,” though.</p>

<li><p>the two friends never allowed their different opinions to come between them, so their friendship remains (steadfast). – this I hesitated between “conditional” and “steadfast”…
I agree with these two.</p></li>
<li><p>museums not only (exhibit) Chinese arts, but they also (reproduce) them to sell as souvenirs…
I don’t remember this question.</p></li>
<li><p>What does “trick” mean — is it “feat” or “ruse” or “illusion”… i don’t know.
I said feat.</p></li>
<li><p>The author says “no matter” and dismisses as irrelevant how “people specialize in their fields”?
I agree.</p></li>
<li><p>What does the author feel about the Japanese cinema? “appreciative” or “awestruck”?
I don’t remember this one either, sorry.</p></li>
<li><p>Why does the author mention “cowboys” and “something else(i forgot)”… Is it to make a cross-cultural comparison??
The passage with Virgil and his dad? How his dad is like a cowboy because of his exuberant excitement, or something like that?</p></li>

<p>I put shoe=sensory.</p>
