Die State Rally! Memoirs of a Geisha

Apr 22, 2006 17:51

I just took the State Rally (Spanish III) and it was hard! The reading comprehension questions didn't even go in order. And the questions didn't exactly match the passage; it was all reworded. Some of the words I didn't know about appeared in the questions >.<. And the grammar was hard too. I didn't expect past perfect, pluperfect participle, ( Read more... )

I'm sure you did just fine in your rally, you're too smart not to anyway ( ... )

The chairman asked Mameha to adopt Sayuri though. Pumpkin is Hatsumomo's little sister though. And Pumpkin did tell Sayuri about what Hatsumomo told the doctor even though she knew she'll get in trouble for it.

The Chairman is already married though... : ( I like how everything was written, it's just Sayuri's character that annoys me.

Do you have the Memoirs of a Geisha movie? Can I borrow it if you have it?

What does any of that have to do with what said?

My sister has it downloaded. She hasn't burned a copy of it yet.

"Though I think it's more Mameha's fault that Sayuri got adopted and etc. It was Mameha's plan for everything to happen. And Pumpkin did do some things like not defend Sayuri when Hatsumomo slandered Sayuri to Dr. Crab, or stole many of Sayuri's customers by invading on Mameha and Sayuri's tea houses. You know? I think you're blaming Sayuri a little too much. It's more the big sisters' faults than theirs."

It's not Mameha's fault that Sayuri got adopted because the only reason she adopted Sayuri was because the Chairman asked her to. Without Mameha, Sayuri would just be a maid.

In the end, Pumpkin told Sayuri about how Hatsumomo slandered Sayuri to Dr. Crab. That was helpful to Sayuri.

It was Hatsumomo's fault for invading on Mameha/Sayuri so I agree with that.

I never thought of Sayuri that way. It just creeped me out, the age difference between her and the Chairman. I mean, his daughter is about the same age as Sayuri herself!

Spanish III already? Wow.

GREAT EXPECTATION!? God that was the worst book.. I swear. .___.
Actually, I take that back. The Once and Future King gets worse.
