Anyone want to talk about Donne or A Passage to India with me?

Sorry I haven't been online in ages.  And now I'm ill D:  Perfect time for it, with the English exam on Friday and then Biology on the Monday.  Lovely.

Hope you get better soon!

Thank you.  Things are looking up now that I am on antibiotics.

Oh, I just thought of something to ask;
What is your interpretation of the symbol of the wasp?

What is your interpretation of the symbol of the wasp?

On a fairly basic level, the wasp seems to demonstrate the all-inclusive nature of the Hindu sensibility. For example, when we first see the wasp, we are made aware that it is not "English", but some distant "relative" - all the same, Mrs. Moore, the Oriental, loves the wasp; "pretty dear".

The second time, the wasp brings back memories of Mrs. Moore for Godbole, and again we seem love and joy as Godbole emulates "God"; demonstrating the all-embracing tenets of Hinduism.

Your thoughts?

Pretty much the same, I just wanted to confirm my view on it because my teacher is incredibly unreliable.
I googled Plato's cave like, yesterday?  Yep, reliable teaching.

When I have it, I sometimes also relate it somehow to the triviality of the universe.  At least I recall doing so on the practice exam.  A lot of the time, I just wing it.

Sorry it took me a while to reply.  Exams are irritating, and then Biology and all that came with that.
I see you also have Methods Friday.  Certainly enjoyable...I must admit I've dedicated more time to my study in that than I have this subject.

What subjects are you doing? Good luck for Lit on Thursday!

[simpak]

I do English, Methods CAS, Chemistry, Biology and Lit.
And last year I did Theatre Studies.
Come to think of it, our subjects are very similar!  Only difference being that I do mainstream English as well instead of your Indonesian!
