Rock music is like folk artwork

242

<p>Awesome list.</p>

243

<p>Thanks a lot paigeohno! But what’s the “Question changes from past to present.” one? What was the question they were asking and what question in the passage is this referring to?</p>

244

<p>“Question changes from past to present.” was that worded something like "voiced concerns about the future? or someting along thos lines…</p>

245

<p>remember the passage about the forgery paintings…</p>

<p>the painters–who decieved birds
vs.
the rival–who deceived the painter</p>

<p>and the rival went “broodly” home…was he jealous…or annoyed…</p>

<p>and wat was the question directly after that one</p>

246

<p>the rival had more knowldge</p>

247

<p>what was the eggcorn SC was it subsidize?</p>

248

<p>Really? I said the rival was jealous…damn it.</p>

249

<p>i said jealous too</p>

250

<p>Do you mean acorn? I put subsistence.</p>

251

<p>i’m like almost 99% certain he was jealous. how would him having more knowledge make him broody and why would he have to affect not being impressed if he was better? it sounds like he’s jealous.</p>

252

<p>I’m pretty sure it was subsist.</p>

<p>For the painter question: The answer was annoyed, I think, because the "had more knowledge’ response included “more knowledge about birds”</p>

253

<p>i said jealous too whys it more knowledge</p>

254

<p>the rivval had more knowledge?</p>

<p>was that even a choice?</p>

255

<p>i said jealous as well bc it said at first he acted like oh wow you can mislead a bird what a feat, but then he went home and brooded and did the same thing</p>

256

<p>he was not jealous because he knew he was the better painter; why would he be jealous of a painter who he knows is not as talented as he is?!?</p>

257

<p>he had more knowledge of birds because he knew how stupid they are … “bird brain” as the passage states</p>

258

<p>prep, was annoyed an answer? even if it was, he was totes jealous. no question. if you were a patron to the arts and someone painted you a picture of some dumb grapes, you’d be annoyed. i you’re a fellow artist and someone shows you a picture of some great grapes and you didn’t paint it first, you’re jealous.</p>

259

<p>i thought the rival was better…cuz he fooled the painter…something about drapes…</p>

<p>why would he be jealous if he is btr.</p>

260

<p>on the rock and roll, which was the quote that qualified an assertation??</p>

<p>and wasn’t the the bird one like, z was viewing a situation in a different way? he was either foolish, or generous b/c he saw the other one’s work as talented.</p>
