The Classical Society members who invest an interest in such things have been scrambling to design a t-shirt. Adrian found a quote about a fox knowing many things, while a hedgehog knows only one thing, which would have been fine enough, except I found it rather too archaic, even for our purposes. During Greek class the other day, Dr. Holland translated something in a passage from the book of Luke as "Show me the money", which of course had me envisioning Tom Cruise shrieking it. I raised the suggestion that we instead print this phrase, with some freaky depiction of Tom Cruise beneath it.
I spent about two and-a-half hours this afternoon studying the Luke passages. Fortunately, most verbs are aorist, with a couple of imperfects, one string of futures, and a few subjunctives peppered here and there. I just need to recognize the vocabulary well enough, in the event Dr. Holland decides to switch tenses. Nouns he typically leaves as they appear in the text.
I had planned to write the last paper for the German portfolio, but Dr. Fry moved the due date back an entire week from its original schedule, which gives me more time to compose something from a coherent outline. The story is only two pages long, but I found elements not discussed during class that I might hit upon. I am going to Google some literary criticism first, though.
