Editing Talk:Tsukumodo:Volume 1 Statue (section)

===Whitewinters's questions===
1. "For a wonder, however, there also appear to be some who claimed that the statue had depicted a peaceful Buddha." Claimed that it used to look like Buddha or that it just did?
: This probably refers to the statements about its appearance that were made before it turned malicious. So the former. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 06:34, 11 May 2012 (CDT)
2. is there a specific buddha in mind? Or does the passage specifically refer to Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha appearing in his dream?
: It wasn't specifically mentioned what kind of Buddha it was, but most likely it is the one you named. To be honest, I was always under the impression, there was only one. ;) [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] 06:34, 11 May 2012 (CDT)


'''In tales and legends, there are often tools that contained power.'''
(Shouldn't it be "powers" since "tools" is plural?)
: I'm never sure about that one. Sounds valid in this case, though, so I changed it. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]])
'''I sure lost a few years of my lifespan from the thing...'''
(More of a stylistic suggestion/question, but would "I'm sure I lost a few years of my lifespan because of that thing" sound better? Or was it meant to read "I surely lost"?)
: 
'''It's a statue that was retrieved from a village that was deserted about a hundred years ago, you know?''' 
(Not sure about this, but maybe it should read "that had been deserted"?)

'''And yet the statue is said to cure any illness by touching it.'''
(Hmm.."by touching it" sounds odd. Not sure how this should be rephrased.)

'''When you touch it, do it with gloves.'''
(Shouldn't it be "do so" or is it fine as is? Maybe replace "do" with "touch" if it is fine to repeat touch.)

'''Otherwise I take no responsibility if you die.'''
(Not sure. For some reason, I feel like it should read "I'll take no responsibility" or "I won't take any..".)

'''The more people he saved, the more his power was doubted to be some sort of a curse, and it wasn't uncommon for him to be driven away under the fear that he was a demon under the guise of a human.'''
(According to the way I understand this sentence, shouldn't "and" be "but" or "yet"?)
: I used the wrong word here. Not "doubted", but "suspected". [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]])

'''As for Saki, who had touched the statue I had been told not'''
(Shouldn't it be "told not to touch"?)

'''Saki, you're okay?'''
(How about "are you okay"?)
: Agreed. I probably tried using the slang "You okay?"
'''Then, I noticed somewhat surprised what she was dressed like.'''
(Should "surprised" be "surprisedly"? "Surprisedly" is an actual word I think.)
: I think it should be fine if you think of it as a clause. [[User:EusthEnoptEron|EusthEnoptEron]] ([[User talk:EusthEnoptEron|talk]])
