Questions 1-5 of 25:

1.

How do the names of the Tuareg tribe contribute to the theme of meaning? (from Propositions 148 - 180)

The names Tuareg and Imohag question the importance of religion in daily life.

Naming is an important step in creating meaning.

The Tuareg name imposed by others means the opposite of the name the Imohag give themselves.

Outside observation cannot provide accurate answers.

2.

What is the difference between desire and yearning for the speaker? (from Propositions 1 - 21)

Desire is good, and yearning is bad.

Desire is short-lived, while yearning is sustained.

Desire is natural, while yearning is artificial.

Desire may be achievable, but yearning never is.

3.

Why is the speaker disappointed by the famous blue paintings of Yves Klein? (from Propositions 63 - 98)

The lack of variety is overwhelming.

She must question her love of blue.

The paintings are boring.

She cannot look at the paintings.

4.

Why are the speaker and her injured friend unimpressed by platitudes about the reasons for pain? (from Propositions 209 - 240)

Saying there is a reason is lazy, since it makes no attempt to define that reason.

Only people who have nothing helpful to say resort to platitudes.

Having a reason does not make pain easier or offer a solution.

These platitudes may apply to smaller ills, but not to the gravity of the friend’s injuries.

5.

What does the speaker mean when she says that the female gaze must be explored with “the eyes staying in the head” (#59)? (from Propositions 22 - 62)

That women need to learn to indulge their own desires.

That historically, women have been punished for desiring, and this must change.

That desire should be private, not public.

That male and female desire should be equally expressed.
