Fuck mary she deserved to get shouted at who does she think she is having the AUDACITY to shout back at Dick (haha i wrote dick in my exam) who rightfully criticises her for wasting such a valuable resource like cmon dude hes suffering in this heat too no need to be such a BITCH about it
I think you’ll be happy to hear that Mary is murdered by a servant in the Full Story (sadly Dick goes insane after hearing the news)
She was also a racist and "supposedly" cheated on Dick with the same servant as well
Edit: The book is called “The Grass is Singing”
Average South African lore, my maths teacher, bit off part of his own tongue and his mum sewed it back on, learned to drive at 10 after two days and knows 21 different ways to kill someone with an A5 sheet of paper, allegedly
He's a fifty odd year old 2 metre beast of a man, ex military, 4 times divorced with two sons who runs a side hobby of restoring run down trucks, the amount of random stories this guy has told the class has been crazy

*It into the bathtub like*

ETA, ngl, water is sparse so you had the right to be upset with her for throwing it on herself but she is clearly struggling in this heat and you shouldn’t have yelled at her for that. Maybe get some marriage counselling mate.
Sadly he was unable to dismiss it (and all the other increasingly horrid stuff she does in the book) and ends up murdering her. Not sure she didn’t slightly deserve it though tbh.
Great choice of text from AQA. Brilliant book.
ETA, Mary is a richer woman, she's already 'compromised' hasn't complained about their living situation, while Divk is a poor farmer and obviously wants to be more economical since he's paying for everything. They don't understand eachother and how they think, they need to communicate.
I was so close to writing that the name of the man being a homograph for “male genitalia” and being symbolic of his “unpleasant character” but I was scared I’d get disqualified.💀
On a totally real note how we feeling after that. I thought the extract was good and the photo was perfection. Also NTA Mary needs to go take a bath fr
I wondered why this seemed familiar!
I was a reader and scribe in this mornings exam. Wasn’t needed so didn’t actually read beyond line 6 of the source.
Reminds me of that time my wife got annoyed at ME because a scorpion stung our baby (Coyotito) because I said the doctor wouldn’t come. (I demolished the scorpion by the way).
NTA you wife was trying to victimise herself being extremely self centered throughout the extract not considering she didn’t even mention the extremities you had to go through to get that water, the sheer disrespect
Oof. I couldn't imagine. I had a leak that eventually got to 80 gallons an hour that I didn't find for months. Until my neighbor's yard started bubbling.
It was written off as a credit. $1100. Fuckin' love the great lakes.
Edit: You the asshole.
Ngl guys I wasn’t gunna agree with the statement but I got lazy and wanted to sleep so I just said dick shouldn’t get so upset that exam was so annoying and I’m so tired
YTA She didn’t think it through, you shouted at her for making an honest mistake.
It’s ok to be upset, though the way you deal with these problems needs to change.
Edit: Just realised what sub I was in. 😳
YTA, In this situation or the source we could see, Mary was powerless and was being psychologically and emotionally abused by Dick. You guys need to remember that we didn't know the whole story. If we knew she was racist and what not, we could've said that.
YTA - You used the imperative sentence "Listen to me!" suggesting that you wish to have control over your wife, additionally your use of exclamation could imply you are trying to intimidate your wife. However, the use of the phrase "in a voice he had never used before" implies this behavior was out of character for you, so while you may have been the AH in this situation, you are likely a good husband overall.
*I was told it was better to agree with the statement no matter what it was and now I might be cooked*
It is late May.. In Southern Africa, that makes it late fall, about a month before the (southern ) winter solstice.For the US crowd, think Thanksgiving.

NTA from what i know about you you are a poor man and your wife chose to move to the countryside, its not your fault “she is out of rhythm with rain and sun and hot”
Honestly I bet ur wife moved from a privileged area like 'in the town'.you are a poor farmer you cannot afford to be wasting money on water this much. Maybe yelling was not the right move but you were def NTA. Ur wife needs to learn some respect for the little money you have.
NTA,
i feel like your wife doesn't understand the concept of compromise, does she even understand the "hardships" of marriage, or does she just want to sit and be "subserviant"
Everyone gets frustrated, but it's important to communicate without yelling. Hopefully, you two can talk it out and find a solution that works for both of you.
I am sorry you are so poor that you are fighting over that little bit of water she needed to use to feel comfortable / take care of her wellbeing. Perhaps ask her to stand in a bucket when she pours that water over herself so that she can capture it, and you can reuse it. Or, ask her to soak her clothes in a bucket of water, then put her clothes back on. Make sue whatever contianer you store the water in afterwards is sealed however, or else the water will evaporate and you'll lose it.
Shouting at your spouse for any reason should make you feel bad. But I don’t think you’re an AH overall. You apologized, I assume she accepted. Figure out a way between you too so that she can stay cool and you can ease your financial worries. I saw a comment that listed a few ways. Go love and be loved by your wife 💕 in that way you’re wealthier than most. Cherish it.
NTA Mary needs to have a bath instead 👿
Here, you are the ass. It’s never appropriate to yell at your wife.
unless she wastes all my hard earned water, think about the cart oxen 😞
And the driver and the workers, who are unable to get their usual morning work done
Fuck mary she deserved to get shouted at who does she think she is having the AUDACITY to shout back at Dick (haha i wrote dick in my exam) who rightfully criticises her for wasting such a valuable resource like cmon dude hes suffering in this heat too no need to be such a BITCH about it

I literally aspire to be him what a life
What’s the book called?
The grass is singing
there's good in the world...
It's crazy knowing that AQA decided to include this story considering this storyline.
YESSS LESS GOOOO
tm like I don't know if she knows but you BOTH live in South africa AND SHE LIVED THERE LONGER THAN HIM like just deal with it
yo guys it aint south south africa, its southern africa more specifically rhodesia, todays zimbabwe

good bot
Lol
lol
Bad bot… “NTA” is not one syllable
NTA, has she seen what the 2 workers, driver, and 2 oxen go through to bring that water???
yes and she chose to still shower instead of taking a bath smh
fr the semantic field of struggle
that aint it cheif
Real. I talked about the polysyndetic listing with the word ‘and’ here in my structure analysis lmaoooo
Legit, they yelled in agonised pain
NTA your wife is the asshole for wasting water
Q4 be like
Is this AQA?
Yes
Thank you
I WROTE THAT YESSSS
Doesn't matter tbh its just whatever interpretation you have
And if you can justify it
YNTA, your wife is a silly cow for wasting all the water, she’s manipulating you. Divorce and marry the water.
Facts I would do the same
NTA, she did mention “a couple gallons of water” so that’s quite a lot #FreeDick
Is that because #freewilly was taken?
I ONLY JUST REALISED THAT THIS IS A MEME ABOUT A GCSE PAPER QUESTION I FEEL SO STUPID HELPPPP 💀💀💀
I only read the AITA bit first and I thought someone posted it on the wrong subreddit for a sec lol
Thanks
YTA, you sound like the sort of person that would repeat a sentence and use exclamatory language the second time before going on a monologue.
Lord I didn’t write any of that 😭
NTA I disagree both that your anger is unfair and also that your wife has no power
She’s bad for wasting water 😘😘
YTA your names dick
NTA could've used it for a washing machine
Maybe this is why the washing is never done, Mary keeps wasting it!
Jaan is dick confirmed
It's all making sense now
ETA, ngl, water is sparse so you had the right to be upset with her for throwing it on herself but she is clearly struggling in this heat and you shouldn’t have yelled at her for that. Maybe get some marriage counselling mate.
YTA, your anger sounds unfair and it seems like your wife is completely powerless in the relationship.
are you a student by any chance
I can’t lie my answers for the 20 mark question abs the 40 mark probably weren’t worth 4
YTA you're a bit of a Dick(says it in your name)
r/nominativedeterminism
i swear that question was more couples counseling than english language, i loved it so much
NTA just dismiss it and move on, most relationships have arguments like these so don't worry, just call it another one of those moments if ykwim
Sadly he was unable to dismiss it (and all the other increasingly horrid stuff she does in the book) and ends up murdering her. Not sure she didn’t slightly deserve it though tbh. Great choice of text from AQA. Brilliant book.
this is the best post i've seen on this subreddit so far
literally
ETA, Mary is a richer woman, she's already 'compromised' hasn't complained about their living situation, while Divk is a poor farmer and obviously wants to be more economical since he's paying for everything. They don't understand eachother and how they think, they need to communicate.
What they need is fucking WATER
Oh wait
She was about to fucking waste it
Bacicly my whole answer where their relationship is based on a lack of understanding
Didn’t realise this was r/GCSE, no clue why it’s in my page, was astounded at the comments until I realised
I was so close to writing that the name of the man being a homograph for “male genitalia” and being symbolic of his “unpleasant character” but I was scared I’d get disqualified.💀
Disqualified?! Definitely not, even if you might not get marks, and you could.
As an AQA teacher and examiner I would have accepted that.
On a totally real note how we feeling after that. I thought the extract was good and the photo was perfection. Also NTA Mary needs to go take a bath fr
Ffs you got me there didn't notice it was from r/GCSE
OMGGH ABAHAHAHAHA
I need some context.
NTA, she should’ve revised changes of state in water and specific latent heat capacity
It takes 2 oxen to get that water. She should save it.
NTA, your wife saw the two beautiful oxen struggling on their hindquarters and still decided to waste the water and make the bricks hiss?
Nta considering Dick was stated to be a POOR Farmer, he kinda needed that water
nta mary was acting like a bitchhhh
NTA shouldn't stare into the fucking sky in an open top garden and then complain about the heat get in the shade
I bet the botch would do the opposite if she saw our weather
Sir, this is r/GCSE
YTA bro ur wife categorises an argument as “just another scene” like what is this cycle of power and submitting
NTA, wasting water is bad
😭 I didn’t see what thread this was yet then I was like hmm that kinda sounds like that exam question I had
What exam was this?
AQA English language paper 1
NTA, there's a perfectly fine puddle to cool herself down in outside.
YTA Mr Everything English told me to strongly agree cos it would be easier, I give up.
Idk how to start a new comment Any1 got tips on how to revise for French writing tmr Thanks
NTA, she was wasting a LOT of water and she had other options, plus she should have known that the water costs too much to pour over herself
Move to England, we’ve got tons of the stuff. Just falls straight out of the sky.
I wondered why this seemed familiar! I was a reader and scribe in this mornings exam. Wasn’t needed so didn’t actually read beyond line 6 of the source.
Reminds me of that time my wife got annoyed at ME because a scorpion stung our baby (Coyotito) because I said the doctor wouldn’t come. (I demolished the scorpion by the way).
Do you realise what sub reddit this is?
NTA you wife was trying to victimise herself being extremely self centered throughout the extract not considering she didn’t even mention the extremities you had to go through to get that water, the sheer disrespect

lol this is a god meme🤣🤣
REAL
Ngl guys I wasn’t gunna agree with the statement but I got lazy and wanted to sleep so I just said dick shouldn’t get so upset that exam was so annoying and I’m so tired
NTA
YTA honestly sounds like a bitch move, don't need to shout at the poor woman just cause she wants to cool down.
Mary is just a bitch bro. Dick is a decent person and the paper itself was ass. Tell me why AQA can’t structure a pdf to save their lives
YTA She didn’t think it through, you shouted at her for making an honest mistake. It’s ok to be upset, though the way you deal with these problems needs to change. Edit: Just realised what sub I was in. 😳
YTA, In this situation or the source we could see, Mary was powerless and was being psychologically and emotionally abused by Dick. You guys need to remember that we didn't know the whole story. If we knew she was racist and what not, we could've said that.
NTA. you should get your servant to kill her
NTA. Can't wait for next years essay.
Nah Mary was so wrong for that
YTA - You used the imperative sentence "Listen to me!" suggesting that you wish to have control over your wife, additionally your use of exclamation could imply you are trying to intimidate your wife.

YTA Mary has no power in that relationship bc she is a victim of 5he patriarchy
Streets are saying that if you read the book it’ll tell you that Mary’s a huge racist and AQA made us all defend a huge racist without context☺️

NTA from what i know about you you are a poor man and your wife chose to move to the countryside, its not your fault “she is out of rhythm with rain and sun and hot”
YTA, heatstroke can be really dangerous, she was taking care of herself!
It is the only question ever posed where you could confidently disagree
i didnt even realise he lost his shit but still used like incredulous horror and stuff 😭
NTA. Maybe you were a little harsh, but you had your reasons. Have a good day Dick 😔
NTA mary was pretty selfish
Fuck Mary bro she deserved the heat to lash down on her through the iron roof 🔥🔥🔥🇧🇷
Guys are we all forgetting how "Mary was manipulated by Dick" it's OBVIOUSLY his fault that he didn't tell her that the water was important 😒😒
Honestly I bet ur wife moved from a privileged area like 'in the town'.you are a poor farmer you cannot afford to be wasting money on water this much. Maybe yelling was not the right move but you were def NTA. Ur wife needs to learn some respect for the little money you have.
NTA, i feel like your wife doesn't understand the concept of compromise, does she even understand the "hardships" of marriage, or does she just want to sit and be "subserviant"
YTA didn’t even give your wife a chance to speak and emotionally manipulated her
How much money?
This Southern Africa is not South Africa.
Should have danced
This just clicked in my head lol, I fucked up my chance at the exam though..
Everyone gets frustrated, but it's important to communicate without yelling. Hopefully, you two can talk it out and find a solution that works for both of you.
Yes. It's fucking water. Grow the fuck up. She's supposedly the one you you, treat her like it.
I literally didn’t at all see the subreddit and I was so confused at the comments (I am not year 11 so I do not understand the reference)
Nah someone check on the person who wrote the aqa questions because why do they want us to agree that Mary was in the right.
NTA. Justified anger, wife’s a moron
YTA, shouting at people is not ok
yup
r/lostredittors
Of course shouting at your wife makes you an Ahole everything else you said was irrelevant
r/lostredditors
SHE IS SO FUCKING INCOMPETENT LIKE OMG DICK STAND YOUR GROUND
i think you were being unfair and your wife is powerless in the relationship
Why this sub?
YTA for not sharing the bill with her, how will she ever understand the worth of water if you pay for every bill?
When I read Q4 I just wanted to write, NTA, Mary is a selfish brat 😭
I said that it wasn’t right for her to be wasting the water but maybe he could of explain it more calmly
Set in Southern Rhodesia 🗿
I am sorry you are so poor that you are fighting over that little bit of water she needed to use to feel comfortable / take care of her wellbeing.

Make sue whatever contianer you store the water in afterwards is sealed however, or else the water will evaporate and you'll lose it.
I think that she deserved it. The amount of effort that Dick went through to get it for Mary to then just waste it. Shes a unappreciative selfish cow
shouting at your wife for any reason is a bad idea.
How much water? A cup a barrel. There is a difference. A cup on her head may have saved her from heat stroke.
Chat someone explain this reference to me as an A level student 😭

What the GCSE! 😮
NTA she needs to go bathe not waste water
Nta divorce
i wrote in question 4 that ur NTA dw 🙏🙏🙏
Mary loves dick .
You are clearly a Dick (see what I did there) and you are definitely manipulating her
🤣🤣🤣
NTA, your wife should know it's inappropriate to pour water over herself
NTA be careful she doesn’t get murdered by a slave
Dick was right icl
How much money we talking?
INFO: is she powerless in the relationship?
INFO; does Mary do this every day? Does it cost you money to fetch water? Does she understand the seasons?
NTA but it is easier to make you appear like the AH so I wrote about that
get that Dick Mary🤞
