<p>So, so far i think i got one wrong in M just a stupid error</p>

142

<p>so what is the answer for the wrong assumption in the shakespear passage?</p>

<p>and for question in the governess
literary allusion?
why not symbolic meaning?</p>

143

<p>did u guys get 0.08 for a grid in question</p>

144

<p>it’s not literary allusion cuz it doesn’t allude to any literature
and it said power, fame, wealth and stuff it’s not symbolic of anything, it’s pretty straightforward
so it’s probz repetition</p>

145

<p>and anyone with 288 for a grid in question</p>

146

<p>no i dont think its repetition…power fame wealth are not identical
its overstatement, no?</p>

147

<p>hey wasn’t it other thing? how come I remember it as something else?
like fish, egg sth blabla</p>

148

<p>It said something like manumission which was what the answer had to be based on!</p>

149

<p>Yeah i thought it was overstatement too…</p>

150

<p>It is not repetition.
for overstatement, I don’t see any clue or hint.</p>

<p>Any body tell me what is the difference between literary allusion and symbolic meaning??</p>

<p>and which is the answer?</p>

151

<p>@ccprofile : yah i remember i got 288 also</p>

152

<p>I think symbolic meaning…i read this manumission in Word smart, Genius Edition :D…it means to free a slave…so it was symbolic meaning…and no, there was no allusion to literature!</p>

153

<p>what did you guys write for the essay question???</p>

154

<p>isnt literary allusion sth like giving some tool for reader to figure out happening that will happen afterwards? and symbolic is sth that has more meaning than the literary?</p>

155

<p>^Yes. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Was this one of the very last questions? I think I got something like “they were cooperating in fooling the hostess”</p>

156

<p>Literary means:
" 1. Of, relating to, or dealing with literature: literary criticism.
2. Of or relating to writers or the profession of literature: literary circles.
3. Versed in or fond of literature or learning.
4.
1. Appropriate to literature rather than everyday speech or writing.
2. Bookish; pedantic."</p>

<p>Allusion means to refer to…</p>
