<p>@linger: I agree with “hearsay”</p>
<p>The LAWYER is the one who wanted the story to be a collective work. The question wasn’t asking about the lawyer…</p>
<p>wasn’t nominal about the result of an experiment?</p>
<p>The Uncle wanted the narrator to write the entire story, the Lawyer wanted everyone to write it. I’m pretty sure the question asked about what the Uncle wanted.</p>
<p>the uncle wanted the narrator to write HIS OWN story, specifically about “how the Diamond found its way into my aunt’s house in Yorkshire, two years ago, and how it came to be lost in little more than twelve hours afterwards.” It’s a collective work of individual accounts.</p>
<p>I think I put individual accounts for that question.</p>
<p>Also, for the question about how “turning his back” showed “eagerness”</p>
<p>Here is that part:
“As soon as his back was turned, I went to my writing desk to start the story. There I have sat helpless (in spite of my abilities) ever since”</p>
<p>If he was helpless, how was he so eager?</p>
<p>didn’t the uncle agree with the lawyer ?</p>
<p>yes, he did</p>
<p>@mabsjenbu: this is precisely what the robinson crusoe quote is about: he should not ahve been eager to write the account without assessing the difficulty (thus helplessness) of the task</p>
<p>mabs: he was eager, but he also had a writer’s block or something. thats what the crusoe quote was all about, being eager to do something then finding it hard to do</p>
<p>OH what was the significance of him repeating that moral from the beginning of the passage?</p>
<p>What were the other answers for the “defamed” question?</p>
<p>Defamed
Corrupt
Any more?</p>
<p>answer choices were that it served as a reiteration of a moral OR it was to express Beatleridge’s misconception/wrongdoing or something. I chose the latter.</p>
<p>pratt: that he shouldve remembered it before saying yes i will?</p>
<p>@matt</p>
<p>that’s what I put, after trying to choose between that and the reinforcement of the moral or something.</p>
<p>pratt: he should have thought about this warning before accepting the task</p>
<p>@pratt: yeah I said that he should have listened to the quote/warning or something like that. I was debating between that and something about how the quote was an insight into human nature</p>
<p>can someone expand on the “hearsay” question? I can’t recall that. most likely because I disregarded that answer choice altogether…but i’d still like to know.</p>
<p>So, thoughts on String Theory? Hahaha
Gotta love it.</p>
