@sherlincapt it said she was thinking about ways to show the poem to her mom. she was brainstorming, so therefore it would be trying to connect.
did anyone put sarcastic tone for the “she is lazy” quote thing
i put blunt
@Wqqqqqq2342 i think the technology incorporating was wrong somewhere, im not sure.
@facsimilecoterie yeah i put the pleasure one too!
@pokemon1 i second that. blunt.
@Wqqqqqq2342 I’m pretty sure the Colorado one is incorrect. It said offered by national parks and that is incorrect because inanimate things can’t offer anything. It should have been offered in or offered at.
remember the CC consensus is not always right. have faith!
@Sherlincapt check my post on page 96.

@facsimilecoterie Brainstorming to show what? The daughter didn’t write poems… In the passage, her mom gave her the peom she wrote in english. Her mother isn’t fluent in english and the passage noted that. She giggled, which I presumed she did because her mother’s poem wasn’t written well due to her lack of fluency. Then it mentioned that the daughter was more fluent in japanese than her mother was in english (both of their second language). The giggle part is what got me. The fact that she giggled gave me the impression she is just plain rude. Considering her mother isn’t fluent, why would she straight out giggle at her poem? And the fact that the passage mentions the dauhgter is better at japanese than her mother is in english also gave me the impression that they were trying to imply that she was naive and rude.
@sherlincapt dont exactly remember the question, think we can find the passage online?
I think i read it somewhere stating that she was trying to think of a way to show her mom.
@facsimilecoterie I’ll try to find it. May take a long time, lol.
@Sherlincapt Im pretty sure the poems were in Japanese. To seem like she knew what she was saying, the girl giggled
Here’s the thing, that question was early on in the passage, so it was a lower difficulty. With these inference questions, you have to be as conservative and boring as possible, meaning you cannot “take a leap forward” with the evidence in the passage. The evidence is strictly the evidence, and I believe that the connection with her mother was the most conservative option. Remember, the daughter was pretty discontent over her mother’s demeanor as “ume tanazano”, a demeanor that saw her not interact much with her family in the hopes of pursuing the haikus.
Did you guys say that the visiting haiku poet and the mom had an interaction of shared enthusiasm?
@cwang9264 yes I was deciding extol…anticipate and appropriate…(something) , because I didn’t know what appropriate meant. I searched it and I’m pretty sure it’s wrong
Because the passage said that the mom “shared her ecstatic notes”
