2. Quiz #1 – Respond in complete sentences - example 1.(factual) P. 63, Last line: “Elliot took this as a reflection on himself…” What does THIS refer to? Be as specific as possible. Possible response: “This” refers to the comment made by Marie Louise de Florimond, a friend of Elliot Templeton’s whose “sexual voracity was insatiable.” (62) She paid Isabelle a back- handed compliment by calling her “pretty” but without “chic” or elegance. Elliot took the loose woman’s remark personally because he tried very hard to make Isabelle and his sister Louisa presentable before his rich French guests by taking his niece and her mother to shop for Chanel clothes. By de Florimond calling Isabelle an inelegant “savage” woman, she made Elliott’s plan unsuccessful, which made him feel humiliated.

A man who for a year withstood the disapproval of all his friends and associates because he was determined to go his own way.” “I could always do anything I wanted with him.

5. QUIZ: Identify who is talking to whom and why. Explain what prompted the conversation and what happens immediately afterward. Describe the placement of this scene as accurately as possible. Prove you’re a good reader. (208) -“I think it’s idiotic and blasphemous.” -“I only wanted to suggest to you that self-sacrifice is a passion so overwhelming that beside it even lust and hunger are trifling. It whirls its victim to destruction in the highest affirmation of his personality. The object doesn’t matter; it may be worthwhile or it may worthless. No wine is so intoxicating, no love so shattering, no vice so compelling. When he sacrifices himself man for a moment is greater than God, for how can God, infinite and omnipotent, sacrifice himself. At best he can only sacrifice his only begotten son.” -“Oh Christ, how you bore, me.”
