"In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning." George Orwell
I hope this does not describe my blog...:-) It reminds me of something Ravi Zacharias once said about how someone could write a huge book on the meaninglessness of life.

Those were never my favorite type of passages to read. Those are the types that a teacher would ask you to write a two page paper on what you thought the author's purpose and intention was in the passage. This is why I am a science type of girl. In science, you strive to be as clear and concise as possible. There is no beating around the bush. Only facts and relevant information.
True, but it can be nice in some college classes to write that kind of rambling stuff, so as not to have to put quite as much analytic thought into it.
