November 2009 CRITICAL READING Discussion

<p>dlight, I said “hard to deny” and “accepting a trend.”</p>

<p>dlight
Previous view of Tsumani is losing something and gaining something else is central of exchange. She mentions you lose something you gain something its life.</p>

<p>It’s Tsugumi everyone. And the passage is from Goodbye Tsugumi, by Banana Yoshimoto, but I don’t want to find it haha.</p>

<p>^good call. here is the passage:</p>

<p>page 22 of
[Goodbye</a> Tsugumi - Google Books](<a href=“Goodbye Tsugumi: A Novel - Banana Yoshimoto - Google Books”>Goodbye Tsugumi: A Novel - Banana Yoshimoto - Google Books)</p>

<p>Why did the narrator mention the composer’s meeting with that American composer?
I think I put to show an instance with another composer but I thought that the answers were kind of weird.</p>

<p>Nice inflore; the last part of the passage is cut off though :/</p>

<p>some remember any other vocab???</p>

<p>for the passages with “fuel cell” “language” “incan”</p>

<p>Let’s talk about the forgery passage; I thought that was the hardest of the CR sections.</p>

<p>forgery passage @ jb9211 did u put that the “special” effects were “attribute” or “impression”?</p>

<p>I said attribute; I thought that the special techniques were an attribute of the Veracruz style.</p>

<p>Forgery overall. This guy made faked portaits with skill and in large amounts. The historian was a researcher. Respect for the dude, but he is fake.</p>

<p>I said the historian was a detective, and that he treated the forger with a mixture of admiration and disdain. But I thought that “great skill and in large amounts” was direct from the passage - “the better sculptures” = great skill, “from the entire eleventh century” = in large amounts.</p>

<p>i said he had “admiration and disdain”</p>

<p>I put impression because he said after the googles as a style that he used. That other forgers never used.</p>

<p>Neither detective nor detective work was mentioned. He said he traveled around the world to view the portraits. After he saw a certain portrait, He realized that he forgery was done, because he saw all portaits before so he can tell the difference.</p>
