<p>Descartes and Dualism
The question about repetition of “showed,” i narrowed it down to two choices: humans distinctiveness and i think it was humans didnt have a central place in the universe. i chose the second… thoughts?</p>
<p>^Agreed. 10char.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the question that had these answer choices:
The term “best-sellers” is… rather than…
prescriptive…descriptive
comparative…absolute
fluid…dynamic</p>
<p>I said comparative rather than absolute…only one that made complete sense</p>
<p>@ kk415kk - I chose “comparative…absolute”</p>
<p>I chose “comparative… absolute” as well.</p>
<p>Are we sure that the girl “kept her promise,” I don’t remember her promising as much as wanting to go to college. I thought she overcame the disagreeing dad. Tell me why I am wrong (I know I am, but I don’t know why.)</p>
<p>^
She promised that she wont get married at school. The passage ends something like, Marta was papi’s only girl to graduate and leave home unmarried.</p>
<p>She kept promise to not get married until done with school</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The passage was about her promising to finish school and not leaving to marry before she graduated (wasting her father’s money), and the fisherman was a “witness to her promise”, and she fulfilled the promise by completing school/not marrying.</p>
<p>Actually, a testigo to her promise.</p>

<h2>Comparative…absolute</h2>
<p>JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Lawyer’s tone = affronted
“very understandable” = sympathetic
Overall a critical of law system
French system less likely to manipulate facts
The quote at the end infers that left at its current state, people will stop trusting social system</p>
<h2>NY Judiciary Court was example of efforts at curbing the problem</h2>
<p>MEXICAN MARTA
Father is sociable… reserved
Daughter asks in an “earnest” tone
Egypt = shows fathers breadth of knowledge

Daughter didn’t want father to be distracted</p>
<h2>The fisherman’s quote qualified a previous statement</h2>
<p>DESCARTES AND DUALISM…

Humans overemphasize their distinctiveness
Bunch of atoms = less appealing</p>
<p>Add onto to the list so it doesn’t get lost in the flow of replies.</p>
<p>^ whats the question for comparitative…absolute</p>
<p>@MitDuke: Best-seller books question</p>
<p>What was question (and possible answers) for humans overemphasize their distinctiveness</p>
<p>What about the one with resignment and disdain? I understand why it could be resignment, but it feels like disdain fits better because the issue is not worthy of pursuing any further and . (See here: [disdain</a> in English - Google Dictionary](<a href=“http://www.google.com/dictionary?q=disdain&langpair=en|en]disdain”>http://www.google.com/dictionary?q=disdain&langpair=en|en)) I just felt like there was something stronger than resignment (or was it resignation, either way, I still think it’s disdain). That along with the fact that it was made clear she disliked this trait (for the most part) of her father (Or at the very least was annoyed at his talkative nature). Any other opinions?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>If this is referring to the Mexican girl, it is definitely resigned. End of story.</p>
<p>It is resignation since she quietly and peacefully gives up. Essentially, she’s thinking, “Well, he’s off talking with a stranger again. Might as well go find something to do.” She has given up, and is not looking upon her father with disdain.</p>
