andami naman nung tanong. pwede bang selected numbers na lang? ;P
ReplyDeletei'll answer 7-9.
X never did something wrong to O...
but O did a real big bad thing to X.
and i guess, yes. X is too emotional. pero ano namang mapapala ni X kung pipigilan niya ang kanyang emosyon? baka lalo pang makasama pag hindi niya nailabas ang kanyang mga emosyon.
and for O.... no comment. i don't want such person either.
wow. possibly third-to-the-last test ko sa chem16 'to. hahaha.
ReplyDelete(am also currently listening to your cd. sorry. couldn't resist. haha.)
1. you know i know the answer.
2. Why do you think X started the conversation in the first place? What could have been his goal?
closure. because he couldn't understand. and sometimes, we wish people came with a manual. just to make things a wee bit easier.
3. i know this one, too.
4. Do you think O's impolite tone of conversation is justifiable? Why is X tolerating it?
no, it isn't. x tolerates it because x is obviously being magnanimous. and because o is obviously wacko, and we all must understand lesser beings.
5. Why do you think the conversation ended badly for X? Fully explain each possible reason.
because o is a git. :p
6. Why do you think is O always snubbing X's messages? Does he have a reason for behaving like that?
o is secretly gay, and associates x with it. o therefore pushes x away as a form of denial. o, however, shall eventually have health issues. because psych says that denying one's primal urges (ha!) will make one sick. i can only hope he's permanently disfigured in the process. :p
6. Look at O's second to the last response. What do you think is he feeling towards X?
a minor contrivance.
7. Do you think X did something wrong to O?
o might think so. and from a certain perspective, what matters is what o thinks, since o is a central figure.
8. Do you think O did something wrong to X?
(should i answer, this comment shall become unpostable. is that even a word?)
9. Do you think that X is too emotional while O is too indifferent?
maybe. yes.
10. What do you think are X's and O's feelings after the conversation? Is another conversation between the two of them still possible? Explain.
x is supposed to be majorly offended. x is supposed to get over o pronto. like, now na. because x pining after o is getting stupid. o has issues. o has major issues. o will not listen anymore. a conversation, while possible, should not take place anymore. it won't matter since one party isn't open to decent, human conversation.
(this thing is long. haha.)
finally.
i happen to think x is a really good hugger. :p
uhm, di aq sasagot ng questions... ang masasabi q lng, kalimutan na ni X si O.. dami pang ibang letter jan... c A, B, C, D.. etc. (this is not a joke, u'r not suppose to laugh!)
