<p>@Astoria The answer was something like “the consequences of a choice rather than a sacrifice”</p>
<p>EDIT: ballislife is correct.</p>
<p>follow my list if you’re not mentally incapacitated @astoria</p>
<p>“27. (writer story) Why did the writer want to write?
He wanted to do it for the better good and help people out vs. sparking imaginaton”</p>
<p>Sparking imagination was the answer.</p>
<p>ballislife, thanks for clarifying. Don’t really remember the first question (I think I put the same answer as you) but the second question I definitely put the same choice as you.</p>
<p>Agreed with GoodDoc</p>
<p>Can we get an asterisk going on #23? I think enough people dissagree with the ruling for that view to be at least noted.</p>
<p>@GoodDocGoneBad Are you sure?</p>
<p>About #23. Even if 3 of the answer choices made sense, it is still possible that the question was asking for MOST. If I remember, the other 2 were non-descript, and the one I circled was detailed. That might have been what the question was asking for.</p>
<p>@GoodDoc, I disagree. I think it was to help people out because he discussed using writing to creatively solve real world problems. The answer choice about imagination was so the writer could “escape from reality” and spark imagination. The writer never said he wanted to escape from reality; in fact, he advocated erasing illusions.</p>
<p>He never said that writing inherently changed the world, though. He only said that it could inspire people and put new ideas in their head rather than the usual ********</p>
<p>you guys can take it from here im tired as balls cmon guys 3/4 of the way you can do it</p>
<p>Sorry guys, some other person keeps on posting a different list. It’s the same guy talking down to everyone calling them stupid, pathetic, and telling them that he wants to punch them in the face. Please just ignore him. If feel so inclined, reporting him might help too.</p>

<p>I put imagination because in the last paragraph it explained how he wrote to help people stop thinking about the realities of their lives and become optimistic with their imagination</p>
<p>Yeah, @ballislife, I couldn’t remember why I put that, but what you just said is why. I think that’s right.</p>
<p>@marcut
yeah, he thought that putting new ideas in their head would be for the greater good. Furthermore, the choice about imagination used the phrase “escape from reality” or “escape from the problems of life” which is the complete opposite of what he wanted. He complained about the public being delusional and forgetting reality.</p>
<p>@ballislife
Whoa, the writer never wrote anything about how people should stop thinking about the realities of their lives. Remember the part about popcorn (i.e. soda and cars)?</p>
<p>ok, sounds like you were right</p>
<p>That was unbelievably easy; but I bombed the math and science, so it balances out.</p>
<p>answer : entertaining-exclamation point proof
answer : wind temperature varied</p>
<p>So what’s the verdict on the imagination vs. greater good question? For the record: I said greater good.</p>
