Yeah so this was one of the Poems

Mother, Washing DishesRelated Poem Content Details
BY SUSAN MEYERS
She rarely made us do it—
we’d clear the table instead—so my sister and I teased
that some day we’d train our children right
and not end up like her, after every meal stuck
with red knuckles, a bleached rag to wipe and wring.
The one chore she spared us: gummy plates
in water greasy and swirling with sloughed peas,
globs of egg and gravy.

Or did she guard her place
at the window? Not wanting to give up the gloss
of the magnolia, the school traffic humming.
Sunset, finches at the feeder. First sightings
of the mail truck at the curb, just after noon,
delivering a note, a card, the least bit of news.

and this too:

Oh, but it is dirty!
--this little filling station,
oil-soaked, oil-permeated
to a disturbing, over-all
black translucency.
Be careful with that match!

Father wears a dirty,
oil-soaked monkey suit
that cuts him under the arms,
and several quick and saucy
and greasy sons assist him
(it's a family filling station),
all quite thoroughly dirty.

Do they live in the station?
It has a cement porch
behind the pumps, and on it
a set of crushed and grease-
impregnated wickerwork;
on the wicker sofa
a dirty dog, quite comfy.

Some comic books provide
the only note of color--
of certain color. They lie
upon a big dim doily
draping a taboret
(part of the set), beside
a big hirsute begonia.

Why the extraneous plant?
Why the taboret?
Why, oh why, the doily?
(Embroidered in daisy stitch
with marguerites, I think,
and heavy with gray crochet.)

Somebody embroidered the doily.
Somebody waters the plant,
or oils it, maybe. Somebody
arranges the rows of cans
so that they softly say:
ESSO--SO--SO--SO

to high-strung automobiles.
Somebody loves us all.
Elizabeth Bishop

Who attempted the Gatsby question??? Badly written to me it was!!!



Who do you think would disapprove of Tom and Myrtle affair if they found out!!!!!!!!!!!!

That question threw me so much because as I remember it EVERYONE in the Book knew about it.

what kind of mind-bending bloody question was that????

• Nick Knew
• Daisy knew
• Jordan Knew
• The bell hop Knew
• Hell the whole of new york knew Even the man selling dogs knew

Except of course George, but then of course, he would disapprove he was her bloody husband so.

You'd have liked the higher level question. It was fairly straightforward.

“Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby possess a variety of character traits that
contribute to the dramatic and tragic aspects of the story.”
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Support your
answer with reference to the novel, The Great Gatsby.
