Even with these omissions, however, Deuteronomy is long. And the style underlines this characteristic. It is the opposite of terse. The writer never uses one word where he can think of two, and he always can....The writer achieves a vehemence, a volume one might say, which is well suited for reproducing the thunders of Yahweh's great indignation.

Good luck!

You'll do fine.

Thank you!

Hah! "The writer never uses one word where he can think of two, and he always can"... I'm not sure I like the musical analogy but I get what the writer is saying...

I really also think you will do fine on this. You're familiar with the debates, you went to class, you'll have some choice on the exam... How are things coming?

[lauzeta]

I love Hillers, I really do. :D I think the musical analogy may be true to an extent, actually. He goes on to talk about the Symphony of a Thousand, and really, what other excuse is there for that?

Lol! :D
How do you feel about the Aphrodite's - kits/beach-walking plan for the picnic Friday? If you like it I will send out an email today. Also, what do you want to do about the ass-hat?

[lauzeta]

Um, I'm not sure how many people Aphrodite's will hold... but otherwise, yeah. Sounds good. I have to go up to UBC momentarily (do you have enough Dreams? Do we need more?) and then maybe I'll go get the ass-hat from, er, whatever it's called downtown. If I don't do that today, I'll do it tomorrow, so don't worry about it.

The part about "more brass/thin ideas" made me laugh. How true 'tis.

[lauzeta]

Heeee. ;D
