Arts & Humanities - 19 June 2006

I have sent many letters, not manuscripts mind, via email. Just a brief, concise letter asking if they would be considerate enough to read one chapter. They don't bother to reply or send a computerised note saying "no". How on earth do new authors get through the barriers?

Can't remember the name or author of a vampire book?

I read a book several years ago about a very young author who was still in high school. She wrote a vampire book and the characters ended up being real and they came and found her. I think her mom or some adult female died...and I think at the end she became a vampire. I'm pretty sure there were more in the series or more by the author...the real author of the book was very young as well. I remember a scene in a bar...and there was a fight. I seem to remember someone with a name like Tiger or something similar...I'm just trying to throw out everything that I think I remember in hopes that someone will know what book I'm talking about....if it helps, I remember that the actual book its self was small and narrow....Help, please. I read it so long ago but would love to read it again.

how do you understand the below essay topic?

I am writing an essay for a scholarship. It requires:

A statement in English from the applicant on why the applicant should receive a scholarship. (max 600 words)

I am confusing between why i should receive it and why they should give me the scho.

How do you understand this?

Should i tell them about my academic results and social activites, which would be a background for the reasons why they should give me the scho?

Do you find that, in life, you are drawn to certain people. or are they drawn to you? Why is that:?

I seem to have surrounded myself with people who appreciate me, but I am still not sure WHY.. and I like having them around.. so who is choosing who?

Did I choose them, or did they choose me?..

And does it really matter as long as we all learn from one another the values each of us hold dear and learn tolerance and appeciation for who they are, even if their beliefs go agaist our own grains?
