Doctors Journal Entry Questions 1 to 3 and 5
doctors journal entry questions 1 to 3 and five
1. a) I think that because he was so panicked about what had just happened and couldnt find his wife on top of that, so he was probably really worried that his wife was injured or even dead from the explosion. Any loving husband would be worried for their wife after something life threatening happened that could have a chance of injuring them. The thoughts that probably ran through his head were definitely about his wife safety; he even calls out her name to see where she is so he can help her.

advice to a girl questions 1 to 4
1. I think the person who is giving the advice is some sort of female role model in her life, like for example an older sister or mother because the person giving the advice referred to the person shes giving the advice to as, “my young angry dear” meaning she is talking to someone who is younger than her and probably less experienced.
2.a) She calls the truth a hard precious stone because sometimes the truth can be hard to hear but the truth should be appreciated. This truth refers to how the person speaking is talking about a break up that you cant possess any who you are with and you cant be possessed by anyone you date.
b)She extends the metaphor because at first she described the truth as
