Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

LOL....you can’t have been an English major at some Oxford/Cambridge-type place, and spell “Yeats” wrong (unless there is some person named “Yates” I don’t know about).

I suspect the lie is #1. You probably did excellently in imagery. You quoted Whitman a couple of days ago (or was it yesterday?)

Isabella, I quite enjoyed crytowic's recent book simply called "synesthesia" it hardly mentioned ASC though which was a surprise. It was well referenced so might also lead to other good resources. It was very well written and had a very good catalogue of different types of synesthesia which was fairly mind blowing.

#2 for Elsa. She’s a big time annotator.

To decipher any bureaucracy takes a certain form of “genius” and a decent dose of both ambition and moral outrage.

LOL. I think my phone autocorrected the word. Sorry . But yes, 2 is my lie. I'm not a big fan of YEATS. and I wouldn't be able to rank poets in order. I don't think that way.

1 is true. I didn't always have trouble because I usually sensed what I was "supposed" to write based on a traditional interpretation of the text. Whenever I explained my true response, I was penalized. I should go back and fight for those few grades LOL.

3 So true.

Yep, I write on everything including tube tickets that get eaten up at the end of my journey.

Thank you! I will definitely read the book and its references.

1. I almost failed when I wrote a paper on “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” by Yeats.

2. I aced a paper on Dostoyevsky.

3. I was enchanted with the “Nun Priest’s Tale,” by Chaucer, and I did a paper on it. I received my usual A-Minus on it.

3 for kortie, I don't think your usual was an A-.

Bye guys. Off to watch twelth night in a rainy field with a bunch of 8 year olds.

#2 is correct. Never did a paper on Dostoyevsky.

Alas, about 90% of my papers were scored an A-Minus. I could never find out what I was “missing.”

1 for Kortie.
That sounds out of character.

PS. I think we should invent a new poet named Master B-Yates. His rhythm is a little fast, though.

I like sort of a Bolero-type rhythm in that sense.

#1 is true. It was my first assignment ever after not going to school for 18 years.

1. 7th grade was where I made the greatest effort to be more extraverted. In turn it is also the point where there was a greater made to figure out what was "wrong" with me.

2. I always did poorly on my English courses.

3. The summer before 9th grade I was learning from a college algebra book.

Oh my goodness. That will make for some funny memories. Enjoy.

1. That seems a touch late for intervention, if intervention is to be made at all.

#1. Perhaps this occurred in 6th grade?

Yep, it was 6th. Can't remember when this all technically started, but it all went on until somewhere in 7th. Lack of funds meant opinions rather than actual answers, opinions that I was never made aware of until like 12 years after the fact due to it slipping out in an argument (not one I was involved in).
