Also taking it. Good luck!
It wasn’t that bad.
Easier than what I thought it’d be. I definitely partially misinterpreted one piece
Which?
which?
Is it possible to rename this thread as “literature” instead of “lit”? I had a really hard time finding it…
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Done, but experience has shown that this will not be a very lively discussion.
I found it to be pretty hard. I kept doubting myself and changing my answers.
Did you all interpret the “To Sleep” passage as sleeping at night or death?
In “A Letter to Her Husband, Absent Upon Public Employment”, what did the wife think of her kids? Reminders of her abandonment, or something else?
I think sleeping at night. And I think I put something about hope for that one? That one really confused me so I’m probably wrong.
I interpreted it as sleeping at night as well. On second thought, I don’t think reminders of abandonment is right because she wasn’t entirely abandoned. Hope might have been the right answer.
I took the piece as sleeping at night as well. And I put something about a respite from loneliness for that one question, but now I’m pretty sure I’m wrong. Otherwise I think it went pretty well for me - I had already read one of the pieces in my sophmore english class 
For “To Sleep”, I said the tone or purpose was “supplicate”
In the “Raymond’s Run” passage about the girl who did breathing exercises while walking with her brother, I put:
Cynthia Proctor (the show-off) was calculating & something else.
The narrator feels responsible for her brother’s actions
Her odd activities made those around her feel uncomfortable (ie: her mom)
In “To Sleep”, I thought that “curious conscious” was self-critical… Anyone else?
Yup I agree with those for the running story! And I put the self critical as well.
What other passages were there besides the running one, sleep poem, wife lonely without husband, and play about death in acting?
The politician guy and there was one that was a poem about nature I think.
What occupation did you say he was? The guy with all about ‘humanity’
i said clergyman
