<p>he almost literally says i am optimistic and confident.
for the luisiana question, did u guys get veer and something?</p>
<p>I put down veer, but the right one was waft from what everyone has said here.</p>
<p>that’s a good argument against optimistic and confident reefer, the test almost never makes an answer that’s what’s explicity in the passage. optimistic and confident was put as a trick answer id say.</p>
<p>yeah its redolent - waft</p>
<p>I put “cheerful forgiveneess.”</p>
<p>It was not patriotic pride becuase he wanted to impress his king and country with his own accomplishment of being able to survive. Personal gain, not doing something for the greatness or love of his country. He was optimistic that he would be able to make it to tale his tell and impress everyone. Patriotic pride was definately wrong. Your trying to convince yourself that it is right, I know the feeling, but just accept that it is wrong.</p>
<p>it cant be redolent, that would imply that the book’s description of Louisiana had an oder. i could be wrong though.</p>
<p>look it up…dictionary.com</p>
<p>fine fine, its wrong</p>
<p>What about cheerful forgiveness? It seemed like he forgave the mutineers because he was able to tell the king about it, and so he was cheerful.</p>
<p>i still say patriotic pride…several little phrases in the first paragraph when he spoke of his integrity (implying he wasn’t tempted to leave Britain for Tahiti), his country and king, and there was one more phrase that really stuck out for patriotic pride. I chaged from optimistic confidence to pride at the last minute, so I’m not totally sure. He even spoke that he had a inner peace despite his calamity and that would mean he realized his danger and chance of not surviving but was happy to know that he had not deserted his country, or at least his country would know he had not deserted.</p>
<p>I’m just hoping for a 740 to 750. I should get an 800 on math, but the verbal is tough…</p>
<p>He never mentioned forgiving them. They threw him a fricken ship and left him to die. Why would he cheerfully forgive them?</p>
<p>Anyone have the a<b<c If (c^2)-(a^2) = 84 then what is b? It was a gird in.</p>
<p>Crap. I missed one math so far (2n-2) and possibly another that I can’t remember my answer to.</p>
<p>Argh. Can you still get 800 if you miss just one?</p>
<p>i like tsmallzxc’s logic</p>
<p>nah, probably not</p>
<p>Well, it didn’t seem like he was angry at them or anything. He was talking about how affable they are, and it was understandable that were led astray by Tahiti’s charms…</p>
<p>And he certainly seemed cheerful about the prospect of relating his adventures.</p>
<p>also, did u guys get lesson learned, and character sketch as opposed to the critisicm of a teacher?</p>
<p>lesson learned and character sketch</p>
<p>on math, so far, i got one wrong, and omitted 3!
thats good</p>
