<p>that poem really really really sucked. I usually have no problem at all analyzing poems or passages. Maybe I was having an off day. Or maybe that WHOLE SECTION was just bad.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.</p>
<p>what was the first passage, does anyone remember if anything was hard on it, and wat did u decide was the answer to the last one? did more people think it was unsentimental</p>
<p>I didn't think it was hard. I think I put down unsentimental too. Don't really remember.</p>
<p>i put down the tone as admonitory. to me it seemed like she was admonishing men for their actions in order to justify a woman's similar behavior.</p>
<p>i agree.... admonitory</p>
<p>For the first passage (i think) there was a question about the father . . . the question asked what the father was like . . . he did not take his medincine . . some of the possible answers were shredness,insincere . . .what was it?</p>
<p>the passage had repetition about being made by her fathers hands and mothers hands . .</p>
<p>are we okay to talk about the questions . . .?</p>
<p>The passage emphasizes his infirmity.</p>
<p>This thread mustn't die!</p>
<p>i put shrewdness</p>
<p>the carnation poem was HARD i had to read it like 5 times</p>
<p>i put shrewdness too . . but i think it was infirimity</p>
<p>I put shrewdness to0!</p>
<p>The father is primarily depicted through his sickly state (especially the fact that he is bed-ridden and the mother is compelled to take care of him). There is that whole harangue about how she never plans on getting married--least of all to an old man. Perhaps the father previously had some wits and cunning about him, but he is chiefly depicted through his infirmity. One might say the mother is depicted through her shrewness, though.</p>
<p>so how did you guys do?!</p>
<p>Agree with ReJoyce. The passage was mainly was about his infirmity.</p>
