jazzfish"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry, and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases.
"For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?', the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?'" (Adams, 245-46)
i am using this as the jumping-off point for the thesis of my Big Ass Paper. which isn't really all that big-ass (8-10 pages) but is larger than a) anything i've had to write so far for this class and b) anything i've had to write at all in the last, oh, three years.
i really, really, really hope my prof will understand.
