Letitia is a life-long atheist, but her opinion of Ralph went way up when she learned he was a minister. How come? | ||

New member Username: Kdoc Post Number: 1002 Registered: 7-2001 |
did she previously have a very low opinion? neutral opinion? high opinion? did her opinion change involve seeing him perform some action as well as learning his job? had he said something relevant before she learned? when she learned, was the relevant thing that improved her opinion that she now thought him - clever? compassionate? educated? sincere? well dressed? kind? honourable? self disciplined? brave? altruistic? good looking? physically attractive? richer? more powerful? tolerant? artistically accomplished? politics relevant? academic life? is it relevant what type of minister he was? does the puzzle require him to be a christian minister? if so - a particular denomination? is there relationship relevant? is he her client? she his? is there a romantic relationship? or a desire for one on her part? his? are they strangers? relevant how long they have known each other? are any of these relevant (about either of them): their hobbies? pets? families? education? age? physical appearance? wealth? place of residence? | ||

Did she have a scrund? A false assumption? Did she think Ralph did something else for a living? Or did she just not know? Does Letitia know Ralph? Has she simply heard of him? Do they share mutual acquaintances? | ||

Did she get this assumption by looking at him? Is his manner of dress relevant? An object that he had with him? Did the area of morality in which she believed him lacking involve: Sexuality? His treatment of women? Children? People in general? Animals? Pride? A self-indulgent sin (such as laziness, gluttony, porn)? | ||

did someone say he was undressing in the church? in some other relevant place? Was the scenario like this: person X to Letitia: Ralph is taking his clothes off/undressing in the church! Letitia think: my goodness - a sexual deviant! Person X: he's the minister Letitia thinks: thank goodness for that - he's just taking his robes off!

"Disrobe' is better *** SPOILER *********** When Letetia overheard Zinnia say, "Ralph and I went into his office, and the first thing he did was disrobe," L. assumed that meant R. had undressed and was hitting on one of his clients. When she learned that R. was a minister, she realized that he was just taking off his clerical robe, under which he was, presumably, fully dressed.
