<p>On the Eerie Canal one, what was New York’s attitude toward the project? or something like that…</p>
<p>The New York attitude was “reluctance”, that one came straight out of the text.</p>

Hehe, we should rename it the Eerie Canal.</p>
<p>I especially liked that reading since I live literally half an hour away from the Erie Canal so I’ve been learning about its importance and all that for basically my whole life :P</p>

Good. I didn’t read that one too carefully.</p>
<p>Yes, I think it was relatively easy as well. The first passage is the most boring to me, which makes it also the hardest passage to focus.</p>
<p>No the new york attitude was not reluctance. The federal government did not want to support new york. So new york did itself. it was well-reasoned support- the one the grandma did not do was sit in the sun or whatever-- also i put trace the chronological order but i think it was development/need</p>
<p>The NY attitude was definitely reluctance. It came straight from the passage. Clinton had to persuade the reluctant NY gov.</p>
<p>It was reluctance because the passage said it word for word.</p>
<p>Do you all remember something about Clinton being an outgoer?</p>
<p>how many wrong would be a 32?</p>
<p>Why couldn’t the narrator stay in the sun?</p>
<p>And are you talking about the question that said Clinton came from a wealthy NY background…</p>
<p>It was not reluctance. He did not have to persuade the NY gov. What happened was he got funding from commerce–( another answer), and the fed government didn’t want to give him money. that’s it.</p>
<p>I put church writings, too. what did you guys put for the one on the tattoo passage where it was like “she wanted words to grow in her heart”?</p>
<p>@quickerthanswift Do you mean outsider? Clinton was born into a political family, something like that was the answer.</p>
<p>What was the purpose of comparing the costs to ship something before and after the canal? </p>
<p>Also there was one about how stuff was shipped before the canal. Was the answer on the mississippi river to the south?</p>
<p>@alargeblackman14 …except it was literally word for word in the passage, but with reluctance in the adjective form.</p>
<p>I think the purpose of comparing was to show how important the canal was or something, or why it was so successful.</p>
<p>I put the same for shipping south on the MS river, but I couldn’t find that in the passage. I hate having to guess in reading; usually the answer is in the passage.
Edit: Ok, I guess the passage did say MS to the south. I guess I just couldn’t find it.</p>
<p>Pretty sure it was Mississippi to the South because the passage repeated it at least two times.</p>
<p>The Erie Canal one about the price difference I said it showed why people used it or something like that.</p>
<p>The passage actually said that Clinton had to persuade the reluctant NY legislature or gov’t or something like that.
I suppose it kind of conflicts with the eagerness NY apparently showed for the canal later in the essay, but it definitely said that they were reluctant at first.</p>
<p>Also, @evanh, church writings? o.O</p>
