<p>its def harmony, cuz it was talking about how the things complimented each other or whatever.</p>
<p>harmony. not uniform.</p>
<p>what was the "spaceship pidgen" or something question?</p>
<p>I think I put it went from an abbreviation to a real word.</p>
<p>agree with harmony b/c the passage said each character had its own place in calligraphy, so it couldn't have been uniformity. agree with abbrev. to real word as well. what did u guys get for the question about the 2 towns? I put foreboding isolation. I was stuck between that and rural poverty.</p>
<p>i put provincial something</p>
<p>Yeah, for the town one it was something like 'provincial charm'.</p>
<p>i put provincial charm but for some reason "foreboding isolation" seems reasonable too. I don't know though. I don't think it's rural poverty. can anybody explain their reasoning? thanks</p>
<p>I believed it was mainly "foreboding isolation". Since the question asked based on the "physical" description, the description of the town and city (or whatever it was) sounded isolating and forbidding. Rural charm was a close second for me though.</p>
<p>provincial means "in that province" or unique and charm means... well yeah
so the different towns had different aspects to them that were charming. one was walled, the other was not. </p>
<p>i didnt chose foreboding isolation because a) foreboding has negative connotations - the descriptions were charming not foreboding b) the second village described was open, therefore not isolated.</p>
<p>I chose provincial as well.</p>
<p>What about the one about the space passage? It asked about the author's thought about technical talk.. one choice was unnecessary. I don't remember the rest.</p>
<p>And the one with the calligraphy for punishment... was it disciplinary action or to make her learn something not easily learned?</p>
<p>There was one word definition question at the end of the first passage... Does anyone remember what the word was?</p>
<p>For the calligraphy punishment, i felt that was the toughest question. I ended up going with making her learn a skill not easily transmitted, because that was the mother's primary focus, NOT punishing her. But it could have gone either way.</p>
<p>i put unncessary for the space one.</p>
<p>it was def. provincial charm b/c the passage talked about how he could see the light from teh village drawing him in and stuff</p>
<p>I put foreboding isolation, because it was just the sense he got, but eventually he realized that it would be welcoming.</p>
<p>^^ That's overthinking it a bit much, IMO.
I think it's prov.charm.</p>
<p>I thought it was definitely provincial charm. I was pretty sure on that one.</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the calligraphy punishment question?</p>
<p>I was considering provincial charm, but then I decided on isolation b/c of the usage of "gloom" and "dark" and whatnot. If you have some sparsely located lights in a village at night, I don't think it'd've been too charming; charming seemed really attractive, I think, because he was glad that he could rest for food when it was so dark outside (?). Does that make sense? That was just how I reasoned...</p>
