It was the question about the Chen mom going to Wellesley, and IMO its seemingly nonchalant, icily haughty is too strong
i put detached def! that was a diff question tho. like she was detached from the girls excitement just wanted her money.
For they’d condemn Sophia EXCEPT I also said insisting on a career. i think thats right
I said except the kitchen chores, since teacher is also a career
I thought gains was answer d, not c (future happiness). I think gains related to remembering good things about the wife. And for the haughty question I thought it was seemingly casual or something like that. It was asking Mrs Chen’s attitude behind her Wellesly comment
Oh definitely seemingly nonchalant. It wasn’t enjoying aesthetic nature, it was romance. The islands symbolise people, and when the nightingale sings (massive romantic allusion), they feel a painful sense of longing, and remember a time that there were all one continent (metaphor for human collective as a whole). I wasn’t sure about the pursuing a career, it was questionable whether they’d approve a financially sound career simply because it wasn’t addressed by the passage. There was no mention of any kind about the dishes, so I put that.
did the woman in Bait who darkened the moon, radiate her own light? or make other joys seem worthlesss?
and was the guy blinded by infatuation or waiting for the girl to let him look at her?
@youcanttrackthis did you put the human aren’t together as a unit anymore for the sea poem?
Make other joys seem worthless. Wasn’t sure about the second, but I said allowing her to let her look at him. I think the phrase was and, if you give me leave, I’ll just look at you / use your light or something, which implied he was asking her permission. I doubted the narrator would class himself as blindly infatuated, but I wasn’t sure either way.
Was the Olive girl whimsically imaginative or romantically idealistic?
romantically idealistic i said
Romantically idealistic +1
I thought she radiates her own light…damn
