For my literature project I have to read 8 poems and get the theme statements for all of them, but I am terrible at making up theme statements. This poem is my main concern, but I also need a theme statement for these poems:
-Fairy-Land by Edgar Allan Poe
-The Beauty of Death by Kahlil Gibran
-The Fear of Life and Death by Sri Aurobindo
-Fancy in Nubibus (or Poet in the Clouds) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
-Why Did I Laugh Tonight? by John Keats
-The Fear by Robert Frost
-Reluctance by Robert Frost

The theme statement has to be a complete sentence.

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and a man came on the radio who had a dillema. His child asked him last night while watching the news:

"How come people in Katrina stole from stores and ran crazy while people in SO Cal aren't? What's the difference."

The father responded by saying, "Well, sometimes the government treats certain groups of people more unfairly than others."

If you were this child's father/mother, what would you have answered? Do you think his answer a good one? Please write all your thoughts. I found this extremely interesting.

Federal government bans flag-folding recitations following one complaint

It is time for Christians to say enough is enough

Dear David,


In the latest attack on Christianity, the U.S. government has banned the flag-folding recitations at all 125 national cemeteries. The banning came as the result of one complaint! The situation is similar to that in which one person removed prayer from schools.

This article from The Associated Press explains the situation:

Complaints about religious content have led to a ban on flag-folding recitations by Veterans Administration employees and volunteers at all national cemeteries.

At thousands of military burials, VA volunteers have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of each fold to survivors. The 11th fold glorifies "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” The 12th glorifies "God the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost."

Citing a need for uniformity, the National Cemetery Administration has prohibited unpaid VA volunteers as well as employees from conducting the recital at all 125 national cemeteries.

American Legion attorney Rees Lloyd calls it "another attempt by secularist fanatics to cleanse any reference to God."

Following one complaint, the Veterans Administration has made anti-Christian bigotry the law of the land. The U.S. government has bowed to pressure from one radical anti-Christian secularist. Allowed to stand, the action by the Veterans Administration, in essence, means that anti-Christian bigotry is now the accepted and approved law of the land.

I had this really really bad nightmare. I was at some guy's house (in the dream) and when I walked into the livingroom, I saw this little girl (she was about 4 years old) in a cage. It was made out of plexi-glass, and she was locked it. She looked so innocent. I asked why she was in there, and the guy said, "She's a monster! You musn't let her out. She threw a girl her age down the stairs. She chokes people. She's a demon!" Anyway, the guy and I start talking, and I keep looking at this girl. She kept looking at me like she was sad, and I went over to the cage...but then I saw something in her eyes that I didn't like, and I said, "I'm not EVER letting you out!" So she gets mad, and she starts making this really scary face...and then she starts kicking the door of the cage. She somehow gets out, and she starts coming towards me! I grab her by the neck, and pin her on the floor, and I start choking her. She looks at me and says,
"You will never get away from me! I will take over your children! You can't run away from me!"

Anyway, it was at this point that I woke myself up by screaming. I started crying, and I felt something in the room...I was frozen with fear.

All right, so this Halloween I'm going Trick-or-Treating with one of my best guy-friends, and we were recently passing notes in class and found out that we both really liked each other. So, yesterday he called me and invited me to go Trick-or-Treating with him. Obviously, since were older, its less about the candy and more about the being out of the house, alone, at night. I'm not sure what I should wear. Tomorrow I'm going costume shopping at the Burlington Mall, they have a new seasonal costume store, Halloween Express. I don't want to get fancy or expensive, because all he's doing is putting on Basketball clothes and being a Basket Ball Player. Heres some pictures of me: and, btw, i know that i have sneakers on my head, don't ask. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2086765054

Ok, so Please some up with some helpful suggestions. We're coming home from school together to go Trick-or-Treating, and I'll probably have my hair up in a ...(i'll add additional details)

I recently moved dorms so of course I had to pack up and move my computer, but since Im in this new room, my monitor seems to flicker, and its not the flickering of going to black and then back on but it seems to flicker with whats on the screen. Its like a slight ripple and almost makes me think of a power problem but my power supply has been upgraded just recently and is MORE than what I need.

Ive changed the plugs etc around and no luck. I was curious what could be causing this and how to fix it. TIA and all the best, Jon

I really like this girl in my classes, but i don't know if if she likes me or not.
-She waves and says hi whenever she see me.
-We write little notes to each other.
-We talk all the time (even on the phone).
-She calls me her pretend boyfriend.
-She introduces me to all her friends.
-She always sits next to me at lunch.
-She always tells me I'm cute.

So what do you guys think? Does she like me?

My hubby still acts like he did when we first got together 10 years ago. We have a 4 month old baby boy and 5 year old son, yet my hubby still goes out fri/sat night, stops off at the pub on the way home from work for nearly an hour, goes AWOL to meet his mates, and won't get up and help in the mornings with the kids. He never gets up before 8:30am on a week day, and sleeps in till 11am at the weekend. He NEVER does the night feeds, and i even had to confront him about holding our baby boy as i realised he hadn't held/cuddled him for at least 24 hours. I appreciate that he works, but his job is very easy (he admits he doesn't work that hard as his job is very up and down) and it seems that he doesn't want to spend quality time as a family. He is adamant that he loves us all and doesn't regret having kids, but 90% of the time i feel so alone and might as well be a single mum.
