And I don't disagree. But Burr still has some hope...otherwise he wouldn't be "waiting for it." But he's less confident and more cautious, perhaps always waiting for the other shoe to drop. https://nowcomment.com/documents/290088?scroll_to=2584242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/290088?scroll_to=2584242 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 22:34:52 -0400 Another perspective is that Burr (with his family name and reputation in the States) has more to lose. Hamilton has nothing to lose. So he can more easily take the risks. (But I tend to think it's simply a difference in personalities.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/290088?scroll_to=2584237 https://nowcomment.com/documents/290088?scroll_to=2584237 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 22:33:02 -0400 This makes me wonder if it's a rebuttal aimed at what others say? Or is it his own self-doubt? https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584231 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584231 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 22:29:56 -0400 Excellent point. As we learn more about Burr, we learn he is worried about "backing the wrong horse." He wants to be on the side of the winners. And when he can't be sure who that is, he refuses to commit either way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584198 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584198 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 22:24:53 -0400 Yes, Paige. And if you consider the next two lines, he seems to say that love doesn't impact sinners or saints more. So even though he and Theodosia are sinning by having sex outside of marriage, they are still gifted with love. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584180 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2584180 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 22:23:15 -0400 You could probably get away with a lit-term-based topic in this instance because there is SO MUCH imagery in this poem. Just don't forget to discuss how the imagery illustrates the relationship between speaker & setting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582893 https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582893 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 This is good, Isaiah! You could consider the verbs, too, as it portrays a great deal of movement throughout the poem. https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582864 https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582864 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 Alliteration is typically explored as "emphasis." The question would then be "Why would the speaker want to emphasize this particular line?" You are right, Myah. Alliteration is difficult to analyze because it is hard to understand the function of it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582849 https://nowcomment.com/documents/290093?scroll_to=2582849 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 Great, Paige! https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577044 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577044 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 True, Brianna. The difference is that Burr's parents were people of "means" (education, influence, wealth), so he had a bit of a legacy to live up to. Hamilton's parents were from an island in the Caribbean and were unknown to his American friends. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577042 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577042 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 Do you think this influence of his "fire and brimstone" grandfather has shaped Burr's personality and philosophy? (Not counting his extramarital affair with a married woman, of course.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577038 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577038 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:08 -0400 Excellent, Andrew! (Highlight this in your text. You might want to use it for future writing prompts.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577036 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 :) https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2577035 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Fun Fact: In real life, Theodosia's husband was killed in the war. And Burr married her. They had a daughter, also named Theodosia. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2574904 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2574904 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes. Lots of irony here in these lines. Bitter irony. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2140425 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2140425 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes! https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138243 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138243 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Good, KK! Isn't this a bit ironic? He hates her for loving him and breaking her vows to her husband. BUT HE'S DOING THE SAME THING! https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138242 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 A bit of backstory might help: Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway. There are multiple legends, one of which is that a number of his sonnets are written to his married mistress. This is allegedly one of those sonnets to his mistress. While many https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138239 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138239 of his sonnets are playful, flirtatious, and loving, this is NOT one of those sonnets. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Spenserian https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138218 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138218 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Or to "swear falsely" = lie https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138214 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216029?scroll_to=2138214 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes. So how would you use the Shakespearean rhyme scheme to organize your chronological body paragraphs? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138212 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Hm. He said that his emotional state, like a lark rising at the break of dawn, lifts when he thinks of her and "sings hymns." https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138210 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138210 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes. And the word "Yet" implies a contrast and a shift. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138209 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138209 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes. Why? (Using what evidence?) https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138208 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138208 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Better how? Coupled with Bradley's comment, how does the speaker define a person's worth? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138207 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138207 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Explain. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138205 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138205 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Olivia, great job! I love that you pull in the word choice for analytical commentary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138204 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216031?scroll_to=2138204 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Chocolate https://nowcomment.com/documents/216154?scroll_to=2136332 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216154?scroll_to=2136332 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Does anyone know what "list" means? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216154?scroll_to=2136219 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216154?scroll_to=2136219 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 "She" is the ship. They're talking about the ship breaking apart and floating downstream. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233738?scroll_to=2125889 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233738?scroll_to=2125889 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 They are roughly 12 or 13. They won't actually commit the crimes. They are simply being imaginative and talking tough. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233735?scroll_to=2124656 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233735?scroll_to=2124656 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 This is SUPER important! Tom is obsessed with adventure books. After a period of war, it is typical for our society to become interested in books with romanticized stories. Twain answers this romanticism with his realism stories. Tom represents the https://nowcomment.com/documents/233735?scroll_to=2124654 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233735?scroll_to=2124654 romanticized literature. Ben Rogers represents the realists. (Huck is more like Ben Rogers but doesn't speak up in this part. Why might this be the case?) Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes. I think it's amusing that Huck calls it "grumbling over the victuals." https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124632 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124632 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Imagine a boy used to wearing a ragged, soft, worn t-shirt. But now he suddenly has to wear a dress shirt buttoned up to his neck. And it's starched and ironed and itchy and stiff. It isn't too small. It's just something he's not used to. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124630 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124630 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 The widow feels bad for him and takes him in; but she makes him follow a number of rules. Huck isn't used to rules. He's used to being in charge of his own life. So while he knows she's trying to raise him properly, he sometimes can't stand it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124629 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124629 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Yes, it's a teeny preview of characters-to-come. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124612 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124612 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 This seems to be Twain's way of acknowledging the first book. They aren't really a series; but the fact that Huck is rich plays an important role in defining his motivations in this book. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124610 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233734?scroll_to=2124610 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Good. Why might this be significant? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2115151 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2115151 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 I would agree. The speaker is full of criticism that might mask some of his anger. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2115147 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2115147 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Good. What does this suggest? Does it serve as evidence for his tendency to exaggerate? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090270 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090270 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Good. This might reflect his tendency to exaggerate or may point to the slang of the 1940s. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090268 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090268 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Great! https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090267 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216125?scroll_to=2090267 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 What does this suggest about his character? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2090266 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2090266 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 How do we know? Cite his specific word choice. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2090264 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2090264 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:07 -0400 Why is this significant? Consider how this relates to our speaker and their oldest brother, D.B. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090259 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090259 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Why is this important? (If you knew the author's back story, you'd know that he fought in WWII and came back devastated. He probably would be diagnosed with PTSD if he were alive today.) So why might he be writing a story where the younger brother dies https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090257 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090257 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Good. What does this suggest about the speaker's (his) relationship with his brother and his emotional state after this loss? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090253 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2090253 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Ha! It's a great word. (Miss seeing you in my classroom.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=2090203 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=2090203 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes. He's very judgmental. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2072234 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2072234 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 He is "staying" in California. Somewhere where his brother has to come to visit him and drive him home if he's allowed to go home "next month maybe." https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2072233 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216123?scroll_to=2072233 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 I agree! This scene screams of trauma, doesn't it? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2072228 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2072228 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Definitely. But this might be natural since Allie passed away. We tend to hold our loved ones who have died in higher regard, don't we? https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2072226 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216124?scroll_to=2072226 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 One could analyze the structure to say that his short and choppy sentences/paragraphs mimic much of the quick, brief snippets we get from a Google search. https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1902706 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1902706 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 But if they are only beginning to learn French, their early vocabulary probably limits them to speaking about basic "tourism" topics instead of topics of more depth, like religion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203686?scroll_to=1902705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203686?scroll_to=1902705 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Me, too! https://nowcomment.com/documents/201002?scroll_to=1901482 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201002?scroll_to=1901482 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 True. And the reality is that we do still live in a patriarchal society. This means that we need the support of men because they still hold the majority of positions of power in government, the work place, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203684?scroll_to=1896710 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203684?scroll_to=1896710 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 I agree. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203686?scroll_to=1896167 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203686?scroll_to=1896167 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 This cracked me up. Thanks Daniel! https://nowcomment.com/documents/202543?scroll_to=1891771 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202543?scroll_to=1891771 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Should I have given a disclaimer or warning? :) https://nowcomment.com/documents/202543?scroll_to=1886369 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202543?scroll_to=1886369 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 This is true...and amusing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/202542?scroll_to=1886367 https://nowcomment.com/documents/202542?scroll_to=1886367 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Check out the organization of Seaver's letter. Not only did he steal Coke's slogan, he also has stolen Herbert's word choice (mocking him) and the organization of topics in his paragraphs! Hilarious! https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884917 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes! And you can hear his snarky tone in his word choice. Look at some of the details. He says, "executive committee meeting" to mock the important formality of the Coke guy. He also uses a "seven to six" vote, suggesting that one person isn't https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884916 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884916 willing to give Coke the benefits. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Super interesting! https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884913 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201135?scroll_to=1884913 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 He struggles with severe OCD, to say the least. https://nowcomment.com/documents/201002?scroll_to=1883376 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201002?scroll_to=1883376 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes. It also reveals that this essay is NOT HIS OBITUARY. This is important and I hope everyone is reading this. If this piece isn't an obituary, what is it? It's an OpEd (opinion or editorial piece). What does this mean? (Keep reading.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1882363 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1882363 This is a fictional representation that serves as a reminder to people to live in the moment and not bury yourself in a job that could care less about you. Phil is not a real person. Rayna, this is an important detail to pick up on. Great job! Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes. And even his golf game is a regular ("monthly") work obligation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1882361 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1882361 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes, but she is also publishing critical fan mail to call them out and publicly make fun of them a little. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1879603 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1879603 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Totally true! And to find enjoyment in the little things. https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1879601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1879601 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 03:28:32 -0500 And it's sad that because of the hoarders, some people can't buy basics. What about the guy who bought hand sanitizer all over town? Thousands of bottles! Then he was re-selling it for a profit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/201001?scroll_to=1876790 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201001?scroll_to=1876790 When my kid was in 1st grade, she was in line for sanitizer after recess. The kid behind her was pulling her hair. She rubbed the sanitizer on her hands and clapped them in his face. Unfortunately it splashed in his eyes and he ended up crying. This is an tragic story. But somebody needs to clap sanitizer in the hoarder's face...just a little. Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 I thought exactly the same thing! https://nowcomment.com/documents/201001?scroll_to=1876786 https://nowcomment.com/documents/201001?scroll_to=1876786 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Yes. Specifically, which word choice? https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876784 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876784 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Good! The reader's sympathy follows the narrator's view, lending sympathy to Phil first. But once his children are introduced, the sympathy shifts to them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876783 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876783 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:06 -0400 Not only Sunday. 3:00 a.m. on Sunday! Good attention to detail. https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876766 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876766 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Good. And Goodman repeats the Sunday detail for emphasis. https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876765 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1876765 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 I agree. She cracks me up! https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1876763 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1876763 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Yes. It gives her almost an absurd sense of credibility. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1876762 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199528?scroll_to=1876762 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 I agree completely. What specifically gives her voice power? Look at her word choice or her syntax. https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1876759 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195003?scroll_to=1876759 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 We are all experts on hand washing these days, aren't we? :) https://nowcomment.com/documents/194999?scroll_to=1876758 https://nowcomment.com/documents/194999?scroll_to=1876758 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Excellent point! https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1876479 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1876479 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 I'm cracking up right now!

The essay comes full circle with this repeated phrase. Suggests a cycle of sorts. Where is the cycle in this piece? https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873788 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873788 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 But he doesn't even eat lunch with others at work. How much "fun" is he having? What is his priority in life? https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873786 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873786 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Excellent! And in contrast, how should the reader feel about Phil? https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873784 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873784 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Good! Yes, that's why Goodman uses quotes--to illustrate her sarcasm. https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873780 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200985?scroll_to=1873780 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Good, Will.

You have to respect yourself before you can expect others to respect you. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199527?scroll_to=1868197 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199527?scroll_to=1868197 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 True. And a person's physical appearance doesn't often accurately portray how hard they work in life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199527?scroll_to=1868196 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199527?scroll_to=1868196 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Nice! https://nowcomment.com/documents/197848?scroll_to=1868193 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197848?scroll_to=1868193 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 The love he's finding is much less risky than a human relationship. There's less rejection from soap, I imagine. https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1868192 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1868192 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Beautiful, Ashley! https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1868191 https://nowcomment.com/documents/197847?scroll_to=1868191 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 A bit obsessive, yes? https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1868190 https://nowcomment.com/documents/195000?scroll_to=1868190 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 (Corrin, I have been watching John Krasinski's weekly SGN--Some Good News--episodes on YouTube. If any of you want to feel better about humanity, check these out. They bring me tears of joy that make me feel more faith in humanity.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863745 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863745 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Good attention to detail, Olivia. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863729 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863729 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Good, Hailey. It's important to recognize the reason for his choice of the anaconda. As you've indicated, he's comparing the predatory natures of the anaconda and the British nobility. https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863728 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Yes. This is a general summary of his structure. What is the effect of this structure, Meghan? https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863727 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400 Given that it's Twain and he's a satirist, do you think he's actually using the scientific method? Or is he merely drawing conclusions based on his observations? https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863725 https://nowcomment.com/documents/199547?scroll_to=1863725 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:05 -0400
