<p>me too. its the only one that made sense for me.</p>
<p>Yes! I got something right! Ethereal image! w00t!</p>
<p>that charlie one was strange. I think it was the third to last question of the test that was tripping me up. Something like, "What is implied when Charlie was surprised by his image in the mirror?" </p>
<p>I just eliminated ones that didn't make sense and ended up with "He hasn't come to terms with the experience."</p>
<p>It was E. forgotten by all but those who mourn her; the winding sheet is a reference to death. His lady did not receive enough praise is what superfluous meant.</p>
<p>I bet college board people are looking at our forums now and laughing at us [you fools, it was obviously D. irony for the Charlie passage. Only inferior minds pick ethereal images]</p>
<p>wiat so is it ehtreal images or not?</p>
<p>i said he had to feign indifference or something (or was that another questoin...?)</p>
<p>idt it was ethereal images. That seemed too out of place, but i could see how you culd fit it into the theme of the poem. Oh well. who knows.</p>
<p>superfluous means more than what is required so the lady received more than enough praise from the poet</p>
<p>can someone explain to me why they think it's ethereal? i thought he was cleaning up...unless i'm mixing up a question with a different answer</p>
<p>literally superfluous means excessive, but it was relative to queens, so the queens were receiving more than the woman should have and were thus happy about that. so the answer would be the woman was due more praise</p>
<p>I put Charlotte was ingratiating herself with the man because, even though she thought to herself that he was ridiculous, the following sentence said she refused to let him know, which means she took actions to appeal to him. Also, when the man said his brother told him something negative about himself (I didn't recognize the word, but the man seemed offended by the comment) Charlotte assured him that it had probably been said without reason. I put that they were recent acquaintances because their conversation was about their general preferences and qualities and did reach the intimacy of a talk between timid lovers.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me why they chose the painted women on streets to be "forgotten by all but those who mourn her" instead of just quickly forgotten? Did I just miss a reference in the poem to the women's mourners?</p>
<p>The end of Charlie's poem kind of confused me, but my best guess was that he set the alcohol in the glass on fire, the glass broke in his hands, his hands were covered with alcohol, and then the alcohol covering his hands caught on fire. When he waved his hand extinguishing the fire, leaving his hand unburned, he was trying to prove that physical beauty is not really fleeting, as some of the men were claiming. He revealed that he did not actually believe this, however, when he checked the mirror for burns to his face. Does anyone remember the exact questions asked for this poem?</p>
<p>Hey what was the last poem called?
and can someone make a list of all the sections, i can only seem to remember six</p>
<p>I put down B - deserve to be forgotten for the sonnet.
I thought, that he was being derogatory toward cheap 'vulgar' woman and exhalting his own 'lady' claiming that the rest desrve to be forgotten and she would be immortalized through the power of his 'rhymes' - he was being pretty mean to them and there was an undertone of disgust when he described them as 'painted' and 'paltry' or somthing.
also - what did the flame on the drink represent?</p>
<p>List (in random order)
1. Mother to her husband before childbirth
2. Sonnet abt a lady
3. play with willie (ballroom dancing)
4. The poem with the drinks
5. Children and adults
6. Abt a father whose daughter ran away
i can't get the last one ... shocking since yesterday i answered 6 questions on it!
oh and btw ... did anyone get something like: the exlamations represented contradictory impulses or somthing?</p>
<p>i think the order was:</p>
<ol>
<li>mother to husband before the birth of a child</li>
<li>children & adults (darkness)</li>
<li>sonnet about a lady</li>
<li>father whose daughter, olivia ran away</li>
<li>arthur & charlotte</li>
<li>willie & sam ballroom dancing</li>
<li>charles on fire</li>
</ol>
<p>btw, do you all remember the last question on the father whose daughter ran away? what was the last choice 'deux ...' about?</p>
<br>
<p>Miller, i put that too, hopefully it's correct ><</p>
<br>
<p>can anyone tell me what the flame in the last poem represents?</p>
<p>i think the narrator treated the guy (arthur i think) with amusement, yes?</p>
<p>btw, what will happen if we get caught? we're not supposed to do this right? 0.0</p>
<p>i said the flame represented the fleeting quality of youth because the guy who set the alcohol on fire said "without intelligence, you are nothing" so he doesn't think physical beauty is that important. charlie was not the one who lit the fire</p>
<p>i thought the poem said that the queens would be happy to get half the amount of praise the lady got. or something like that</p>
<p>yeejietang: deux ex machina </p>
<p>it's greek for "god of the machine." it literature, it's when a character randomly comes back at the end of a story to save the day basically.</p>
<p>topaz, the winding sheets implied their funeral. So they would be forgotten by all until they were put in the winding sheets, hence E. forgotten by all except for those who mourn them.</p>
<p>I thought it said they were forgotten by all before they were put in their winding sheets, making the answer that they were quickly forgotten.</p>
<p>That still also confirms that they were forgotten by all except those who mourned them.</p>
<p>For the ballroom dancing Q, did anyone else put that collisions affected the innocent bystanders? I saw someone earlier in this thread say they put that, but I remember choosing a different one.</p>
<p>I just found the poem and these are the first couple of lines: "How many paltry foolish painted things,/ That now in coaches trouble every street,/Shall be forgotten, whom no poet sings,/Ere they be well wrapped in their winding-sheet!" There's no mention of any mourners and no poet sings their praise. "Shall be forgotten [...] ere they be well wrapped in their wining-sheet," which basically says she'll be forgotten before her corpse iseven wrapped up.</p>
