Because of this weekend's workload, I stayed up in Boone this weekend. However, I went "on strike" last night after a week of tests. I drank a wine cooler, ate a (Weight Watchers) pizza, and read a cheesy short romance novel, instead of working on my projects!
I only see about 2 questions on this test that I can answer off the top of my head. The rest are dumfounding me. Obviously, I need to search my notes in the desperate hope I have written down something enlightening!
Even the fact that she wants short answers is a problem - it means we can't write everything we can think of, hoping the "right answer" will be in there somewhere! (That "shotgun spray" tactic has gotten me through many essay questions in my life, I'm embarrassed to say.)
It amazes me that we discussed all of these books in class, and yet we only "discussed" a few of these points, that are now deemed to be weighty and important.
Thanks for the the suggestion of the Ishmael website. If I were going to write to write to Quinn personally I'd want to know how/why a former monk would turn into an atheist - as he strikes me -someone who "worships" the Earth, the Creation, rather than the Creator.
I wish I had some help to offer. If anyone wants to correspond directly, I'm at jjarrard@earthlink.com I wish I had Craig's knowledge of philosophy. I had two philosophy courses, but that was 30 years ago!Statistics: Posted by Joyce Jarrard — Sat Dec 06, 2003 12:23 pm
