  2. 8:54 This too is a pretty easy read. It's biggest weakness is not having a couple of maps for reference as without that the issue of how much land is demanded is a pretty pointless piece of info. Each group had demanded 2/3 of a province. However, "How big is the province?" is a question so poinient it basically decides what is or isn't reasonable. Unless you're discussing it from the point of view of the provincial governor themselves (which it seems to hint at as the relationship was seemingly between that governor and the German), in which you're losing most of your land and so it is simply unreasonable anyway. Also funny that they're saying that Clovis was such a good controller that he stopped the barbarians from doing barbarian things.

  3. 8:08 Yeah no this is pretty normal writing. In fact, this is fantastic writing. Though i will say it is quite a lengthy section on the opinions others had on Goethe. However i do truly love that final quote there as describing an immaculate man who, though following his dreams, was still committed and noble. He just wasn't someone who would be good for studying law. Also, Frederick the Great saying that the bard was essentially peasant trash and that Goethe should get his inspirations from France is just a very sad mark on Ferderick. It's France. Even though the Bard was occasionally crass, and did intend to show these to the masses, it's silly intellectual bickering. Especially with some of his later works being so magnificent. Even if Romeo and Juliet was just kind of silly (had he only seen that, I'd understand Frederick's opinion here). But yeah no this is not a difficult read. This is at worst lord of the rings level of writing and that was a 5th grade read for me. The only problem with that section is the topic choice itself. However, as it's only 1 page out of a thousand, it's probably not really a problem and it is a relatively brief summary. There's definitely something to be said about the physical page length, as if you were to type that on a computer it'd look far smaller.
