#2.) The general response to Hilmi in to alludes to a traditional lack of ______ the insane in Turkey
a. fear of
b. respect for
c. attention to
d. care for

Answer 1

Do you remember how the citizens reacted to the 'crazies'? How were they treated? Like friends, or like enemies?

Answer 2

I thought they were taken care of and given money but yet were still a burden. That's why I was confused @deercult

Answer 3

Yes- they're taken care of and fed, but they are still treated as family a lot of the time, yes? Children practically run up to them, as described by one of the characters.

Answer 4

so it would be a because they did not fear them but showed care for and gave them attention @deercult

Answer 5

I'm fairly sure.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'll do my best! c:

Answer 8

The narrator's description of Hilmi's physical appearance makes him out to be?

Answer 9

@deercult

Answer 10

Well, I don't remember it exactly, but I know for sure the author didn't make him out to be well groomed or handsome, so you can immediately eliminate those, right?

Does the author make Hilmi look gruesome, or just bit wacky (for lack of better word)?

Answer 11

Helmi's treatment by town officials leads the reader to believe that his presence is?
a. challenging their political power
b. a source of constant trouble in town
c. generally unwelcome
d. politically expedient for the officials

that's the last two

Answer 12

I beleive its unconventionall

Answer 13

That's right!

Hilmi is basically allowed to waltz into the official's office, right?
Again, I don't remember exactly, but the 'town crazy' was allowed to just come on in and sit right down and have a chat. Taking that into consideration, it's unlikely that he was unliked by the officials.

Do you have any guesses on what the answer might be?

Answer 14

For the last answer, here's the definition of expedient: "convenient and practical, although possibly improper or immoral."

Answer 15

so you think its d

Answer 16

Just from what I remember. Having a crazy around could a) help take minds off of whatever the official might be ignoring, and b) could help improve the city's rating and tourism, yea?
