Longest Sentence and One Other Thing

OK. Here you go. Read the following:

It is not exactly reassuring to realize that the line always moves and that tutors find it by crossing it. Tutors have to take chances, however. . . . Tutors should not worry about taking chances or making mistakes; we are human, after all. (Wingate 14)

For your blog posts this week, respond to the Wingate quotation above in the following ways:

1) In the longest grammatically correct sentence you can muster--and using only one sentence.

2) Using multiple sentences, but exactly 146 words. The first word must be "despite." The 61st word must be "however." The last word must be "line."

Have fun!
