<p>violinplayer: No, the paragraph started out with the claim that there’s an awareness that the practice isn’t right (or something like that) and the second or so sentence was the ‘DC/NY bar association curtailing bulldog practices’ statement . It was definitely to show that there are instances of attempts to control the practice.</p>
<p>Also, apologetic can also mean “defending”, like christian apologetics defending their beliefs using evidence and reason. The answer might have been impartial, too, since he was trying to be fair in assessing Descartes. Who knows.</p>
<p>For the NY/DC purpose of the essay question, was it to criticize the basic structure of the US system? I was stuck on that one for like 2 minutes UGH.</p>
<p>The author basically said “What he did is okay because he’s just human, I can understand that”. Doesn’t that sound sympathetic to you, even by that definition?</p>
<p>I have a few questions about the girl/father passage.
Does anyone remember the question that was like “how does the girl speak to her father in lines 1-3?”. There was also another question about how the girl feels at some point. </p>
<p>If anybody remembers those/knows the answers that would be really helpful!</p>
<p>think about this sharksat , if some says in one sentence, not even a proper one, very understandable, very human (or something like that , i forgot), wouldn’t you think that it is being sarcastic.</p>
<p>Dead sure it was earnest. Everything else was ridiculous.</p>
<p>Now, for that same passage- what was the purpose of what the fisherman said? I can’t recall that exact question but I think I said undermining his earlier assertion or something of the like and I feel like it was wrong.</p>
