SS94HSC: Workbook Chapter 5*

Negation

I've made exercises for this chapter, which has none of its own. I've released them to the public domain, and they can be found below. My answers are directly below it, so don't scroll below the embedded document (that is NOT a negation!). 


1. B
2. C
3. (feel free to get creative after the halfway point)
  • It's not necessary to feel this way to want to do this.
  • You really shouldn't already be feeling a connection as you take in this experience.
  • Don't look deep inside as you find your own reasons to do this.
  • You wouldn't do this as you do that.
  • You probably couldn't already be feeling a connection before you find your own reasons why this feels right.
  • You wouldn't already want to do this as you take in this experience.
  • It's not necessary to do this as you feel this way.
  • You don't even have to know why... it feels so good. (Credit: Major Mark's Ecology for Men)
  • You probably can't notice how negations can work as weasel phrases as you construct these phrases.
  • And you don't want to open your eyes to what negations have in common with challenges and take-aways. Nah, you wouldn't be interested in that!

  • I was at the bar with a friend the other day, and this guy said something unbelievable! He went up to this girl, and he said "even if you don't find yourself wanting to blow me, right now, what would happen if you were to keep thinking about that?" What was he thinking!? Can you imagine what it would have been like to think about that over and over?
  • I was sailing the high seas, and you won't believe what I heard this scurvy dog say! He boarded our ship, went up to this woman, and said "ye don't even have to start lusting for me, right now, to give me all yer doubloons!" Can you imagine how it would feel to keep thinking about that?
  • I was talking to my friend Cathy the other day, and she told me "you really shouldn't start to feel turned on right now. We couldn't start picturing ourselves tearing each other's clothes off and fucking like rabbits. It would just ruin the friendship!" Anyway, I don't want you to keep thinking about that. What's it like being a publisher?

  • I went to this even the other day, and when I got there, I saw something amazing. There I was, and in front of me was this steel monstrosity -- a roller coaster! I took my friend's hand and we hopped on it right away! When we got on it, and started that slow climb up, it was like you didn't even have to feel yourself breathing faster, and feel your heart pumping to really take in how exciting this is. When that car dropped down, we were just screaming with excitement, as we could just set aside the past, the future, and focus on the now--right now, and feel the wind blowing on your face, your feet in your shoes, and really enjoy this ride right to the point where you get off.
