October 2011 Literature Post Test Discussion

<p>I didnt understand that one well, I just remember answering that the sea was the space between people or something like that.</p>

<p>i think i said approving for that one…</p>

<p>the summer mischief part was weird. i thought it was about being youthful and free or whatever, and how when you’re older you might look down upon that</p>

<p>What did the gleans and caverns represent in that one?</p>

<p>And I think there was a question about the author’s tone in one of the passages? The choices were difident, cheerful, melancholy, and so on. Which was it? The birth?</p>

<p>Marguerite…</p>

<p>Sea - space or isolation?
The imagery was like romantic shiz
You have to be mutually together for a commitment
Caves and glens and hollows are like wounds?
Doesn’t use emphatic. Repetition (not sure if for this poem but it was for something.$</p>

<p>yea i had 10 minutes for 2 passages, so that was difficult. does anyone remember the answers to the last one…the choices were something like: you can only have love once, love is good and bad, …</p>

<p>Despair was the tone… I mean that was pretty clear…</p>

<p>The one that started out with “mom died” … anyone know what that was about?</p>

<p>And the one about the guy who was simple and honest and content, what point of view did the author have in that one? I put that he reperesented society or somehting. And it also asked what the passage was implying about how society saw people and I put how much money they have/sepnd? thoughts?</p>

<p>for the island one, what does the part about fire and god mean?</p>

<p>I put it didn’t use allusion</p>

<p>leemonkey1: same for the how much money you can make/spend. and i put useless niceties? i was between that and great shortcomings but i thought that was too dramatic</p>

<p>God ruled… God decreed?</p>

<p>Also lee I said narrator was worldly society and he was criticizing the way people used or spent money</p>

<p>i think i put it didn’t use emphatic repetition, but not sure.</p>

<p>and i think hjk, i put decree but i don’t know if that’s the question to which you are referring</p>

<p>I said great shortcomings. He implied at the beginning Heartfree then (for that was his name at the time$</p>

<p>great shortcoming for what question?</p>

<p>I also put shortcomings,
It didn’t have allusions,
and God decreed.</p>

<p>something like “the author implies that his characteristics are…” ???</p>

<p>but i dont get what you mean by the beginning implied that</p>

<p>I don’t think it used allusions either.
What question is god decreed about? The define “ruled” ? I think I put “governed”</p>

<p>It was definitely between governed and decreed for me.</p>

<p>OH! yes, I put short commings.</p>

<p>The beginning of the child and darkness poem was like “mother died” … what did using that as the beginning do for the author?</p>
