APPETITE
Q&A

QUESTIONS ABOUT DEFINITION

Q#1:

Ans: Denotatively, appetite is just a prolonged satiation. Just as a yank to achieve something
that your body wants. Appetite is mostly used for wanting food. But Lee’s definition holds
something more of a creativeness. He delineates it as a curiosity that makes you sense you are
alive. That tells you that there is till some other stuff left to do. So, wait! Don’t think you are
done with your life. Feel the appetite and feel the liveliness. Lee believes fulfilling the satiation
kills the appetite. The state of appetite is more delightful than the state when the appetite’s been
killed.

Q#2:

Ans: This essay of Lee’s is a definitive essay and holds the explanation of an abstract term.
He uses very conspicuous ways to define this concerned term. He first defines “appetite” in such
a distinctive way that it makes the reader skim through the whole first paragraph. Then in the
next paragraph he defines the same meaning of this word but in such an inexplicable way that it
obliges us to read it fully. He maintains this art of his throughout his whole essay, thereby,
entertaining us.
He defines the word “Appetite” throughout the whole essay but through different and unique
aspects and that’s how he maintains the sight of the reader on his foolscap.

Q#3:

Ans: He could have peered out of the box to see if he could have written it in a sense not
providing the word “Appetite” to the reader itself but still serving him with the feel of this word.
His essay exhibits he has a lot of feelings to explain “Appetite”. So, he could write it intelligibly
in a way not providing the word “Appetite” to the reader by only asserting the statements that
described the word and not the word itself.

QUESTIONS ON DICTION AND WRITING TECHNIQUES

Q#1:

Ans: This diction of his puts a very colossal idea about the very meaning of the word across
my mind. It makes me understand that this curiosity of longing for the multitudinous tastes of
food is more appreciable than actually achieving those tastes.

Q#2:
Ans: “Lust”, most certainly, is used in strongly negative sense. It means to crave but for having
off with the opposite gender. A positive word could play a better part here in this essay. So,
“crave” or “desire” are more better words.
Q#3:

Ans: Yes, he uses personal experience to good effect as he mentions an incident about his
childhood when he lingered over a toffee and realized that curiosity was better than satiation.

Q#4:

Ans: The writer develops paragraph # 4 by means of comparison and contrast in which he opts
for a single option of appetite rather than choosing satiation, He also provides the reason he
opted this. Moreover, this organization of paragraphs provides a clearer view to the reader what
the writer opts and why he opts what he has opted.

FOR DISCUSSION, READING AND WRITING

Q#2:

Ans: Yes, I agree. It is always better to be curious rather than having that thing. In fact, writer
writes that he could even fast just to feel and love the appetite nonetheless of achieving the
satisfaction. Actually, this process happens with me daily. Whenever I order cheesious burger, it
really feels good to remain in the state of wanting it but this state vanishes all when I have not
even left a single particle of its bun on the table.

Q#3:

Ans: To remain in the state of wanting is more lovely than satiation. A person always tries to
achieve a bigger pleasure. To remain curious to get something is unprecedented when it’s
compared to the state when you have achieved the thing.

Q#4:
Gamesmanship

Sometimes, when, you can’t win some certain bouts just by your hard work, you have to let
gamesmanship introduce itself into the bout. It’s the mind that you play with just to win the game
and not the game itself. Gamesmanship is the act and talent of using ploys and trick to win a
certain game. It gives a psychological benefit to the player. It’s a step by step procedure in which
it gradually turns the player biased to let you win. All it needs is timely decisions to make the
opponent gradually turn to you. Indirectly, it’s a procedure that leaves behind no opponent to
fight with because it turns the enemy to your side as you present the ploys to make the opponent
obey your orders. Gamesmanship is an important thing to win a greater proportion of matches.
