June 2006 - English Literature

<p>One of the Qs I hated the most was also the Q in the love poem that asked the difference BTW "for" and "because". What did people get for that? </p>

<p>Also, in the same poem, did "I do I do think. 'When will he come? When'" (or something like that) indicate that she doesn't know when her lover will come again OR that she can't do anything but think while he is gone?</p>

<p>"for and because" to explain her feelings or something of that sort.</p>

<p>for the second question about "when will he come" i put that she can't do anything but think while he is gone because in the poem she seemed to always anticipate his return, and i don't think she questioned whether he would be back.</p>

<p>

Exactly the same. Great minds think alike.</p>

<p>

Agreed</p>

<p>

Agreed</p>

<p>

Yep</p>

<p>

Me too. For the sexual activity question, what were the options? I must have missed this question.. hmmmm.. hope I got my numbering right for the rest though.</p>

<p>i thought joseph wasn't amused?</p>

<p>also, i thought it was about a friend dying, because life is sweet/beautiful even for a short time? i put the young people one and then erased it. </p>

<p>not sure about almost anything on this test.</p>

<p>The one about the Oak and the one about Kid Jones were both particularly odd.</p>

<p>do ou guys remember putting down pseudoscience for the train one?</p>

<p>no......??</p>

<p>OK, i am pretty sure now that the answer was consoling someone about an untimely death seeing how the entire poem is a condolence. Also, i put old man or old woman because of the adjectives but also because one cannot fell or a verb similar to that a corpse...its like taking down a tree...so the object has to be alive.</p>

<p>aaah where is everyone?</p>

<p>yo just some of my opinions on the ongoing debates in here........For the logge reference i put old man or old woman because i remember saying it fell bald, and meager something of that sorts and a corpse cannot fall only a dying old man can be bald and meager something along that lines i could be wrong......now about Mrs. Slipshod i said self deception because she knows he doesn't like her and still in spite of that she goes after him that was my reasoning........for the beating of drums i said immediancy i guessed.....and also i didn't think joseph was amused at her he was quite afraid of her actually i thot of it as sort of a farcical comedy and tried to imagine it being acted out and i thot the narrator and the reader was supposed to get the humor out of mrs. slipshod</p>

<p>shiva i got what you got...do you remember anything else?</p>

<p>Do you remember anything about the trains? Was it a horse? What was the change in tone between the two paragraphs?</p>

<p>I thought that the trains inspired awe and skepticism in the narrator.</p>

<p>the author talked about vectors and the train being a comet and how it compelled smoke, wouldnt that qualify as pseudoscience</p>

<p>Yeah, I put horse. And I put the second paragraph had the same tenor as the 1st and just used more examples.</p>

<p>do you remember anything else?</p>

<p>Did you guys get the following for answers? </p>

<p>Metaphor & Simile (train reading)
Alliteration (Love poem)</p>

<p>yep i got those two im pretty sure</p>

<p>I'm almost afraid to calculate my score...can we keep going guys? What did "rankly" mean in the love poem?</p>
