<p>really, im not sure if passage 1 said he was a great writer... where did it say that?</p>
<p>yeah i thought both said he was critical of 19th cent biographies</p>
<p>What about the one with the Korean girl - how did she view her grandmother? I put esteem because humility didn't seem like the proper word - you can view someone with esteem but humility is more of a word to describe yourself, not how you view others. Thoughts?</p>
<p>definitely esteem</p>
<p>unefleursauvage, thats what i said too</p>
<p>yeah, def. esteem</p>
<p>I said esteem (D) for precisely the same reason, and while the first passage did mention the biographer's disdain for his contemporaries, it also stated that he was a talented writer (not explicitly, though).</p>
<p>dubisteinschuh - I put esteem too, and your reasoning is sound.</p>
<p>Indian - the first passage did say (middle-ish) that his writing was "supremely readable".</p>
<p>haha good i feel better now! the 1st passage said he was very 'readable', but not necessarily a good writer.. and i'm pretty sure that both passages gave evidence that he rebelled against the traditional 19th cent. biography</p>
<p>hmm i guess it depends on what a "superb writer" means then.. :/</p>
<p>I said Esteem as well, she regarded her grandmother with respect and generally positive attitude</p>
<p>I was under the impression that Stickleys writing was a model for others? I remmember there was a word in front of "good writer" like unique, or oddly a, thats what made me change my answer.</p>
<p>What about the Monkey Paragraph? What about the writing question about Aberham lincoln and the textile industry?</p>
<p>"...both passages gave evidence that he rebelled against the traditional 19th cent. biography."</p>
<p>--unefleursauvage</p>
<p>While that may be true, it wasn't an answer choice. I think the correct answer was that he was a gifted writer.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure one of the options was "he was critical of the 19th century biography", but idk...</p>
<p>textile was E, the one that said that it only affected the textile industry.</p>
<p>ps. i think unfleursauvage is right...it specifically focused on his criticism (debunking) of 19 century biographers</p>

<p>I think that was a different question, the last one if I remember. Something about what was said in one but not the other. One said directly that he criticized 19th c. biographers, and the other just said that the movement was a response to the whatever biographies in the 19th. c.</p>
<p>That was a different question though... that he changed the standard for writing was a correct answer, but that he was an unusually gifted writer was also a correct answer (to the question that asked about the general opinion about Styner of the authors of the two passages).</p>
<p>I wholeheartedly concur with snowia.</p>
<p>im still not really convinced, or maybe i just dont remember...</p>
<p>what other choices were there for that question?</p>
<p>i think i might have said that they agreed that he had great commericial success. Could that be it because they both said how he completely changed the art of biography and that he was a very popular writer?</p>
<p>Haha thanks bschenkel.</p>
<p>I can't remember the other choices, Indian... it's all becoming a blur now, sorry.</p>
<p>yeah.. what were the questions & options??</p>
