Jenny kissed me when we met
Jumping from the chair she sat in
Time you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad
Say that health and wealth have missed me
Say I'm growing old but add,
Jenny kissed me

I'm in the mood for reading historical novels, lately. I don't know where to go for good suggestions, though, and the last time I picked up a book in the historical fiction section that sounded good, it turned out to be a flimsy romance novel masquerading as legitimate historical fiction.

So I come to you, bookworms of Yahoo! I'm particularly interested in novels set in or around the Renaissance, as well as anything set in ancient Greece or Rome. I certainly don't MIND romance, but I don't want that to be the only thing going on, you know?

okay i want to be an actress. I'm African American and I'm afraid of having to play into the black stereotypes. I've in read in magazines and other sources that being an African American female you will face having to act into the stereotypes i stated below:
sapphire stereotype - angry black woman
matriarch stereotype - strong black woman
jezebel stereotype - promiscuous black woman
welfare queen- ghetto, loud, black woman, who has a bunch of babies by different men
the tragic mulatto- the light-skinned exotic, black woman who is exotic and follows white men
mammi stereotype- the overweight, black woman who is sweet and is a housekeeper of some sort.

how can i still get a role without playing into their stereotypes?

I'm doing an essay for school about the Colonoy in Jamestown. The girl that I made up came from a semi-influential family that owned some buisness that was doing well, so they wwere known and rich compared to other people... I guess I'm still working it out. But what type of education would she have? Would she be tutored in maybe just English, how to write and read?

At my school we are doing they play Macbeth, but the theme is the 1970s-80's punk london ara. I got cast as a noblemen named Caithness. i only have three lines and since i'm playing a man when i am very much a women, it would most likely be difficult. at the same time i want to feel as important as the lead roles, even though i only have three lines. does anyone have any advice on how to do that?

I contended (since forever) that ethics was a person's personal system (not a support of relativism, but everyone has different views; not every christian agrees when it comes to whether or not it's alright to hit children to discipline them, for instance) and that morals was the general system (more vague most of the time, logically,) of the surrounding populus of a given area; morals of Miami Florida, of Florida, the US, Western countries, or the block I live on, whatever the designated sample. A kind of general concensus of the majority's ethical systems. Is this view correct or misguided? Have I been misrepresenting the two words? Mixing them up? Totally missed the mark?

also, if you disagree with my original definitions, and want to truely educate me, you'd better have references that check out. Like online textbooks, mabye...

Thank you very much. This will take some searching for a link I think and I respect someone that dedicated to helping out another philosopher! Cheers!

sometimes i feel that language is a barrier, a single word can have so many meanings, and a sentence can always be misinterpretated... for example, famous quotes by famous people could mean differet things to different people...

I have a collection of small books about well everything, they are about circa 1913 to the 1930's. I don't know much about them but they are numbered and kind of like the readers digest books of today except the fact that they are about 6 inches high. If anyone has any info let me know.

In the Elizabethan era (Shakespeare's times), what would happen if a man wrongly accused a woman of something (deliberately) but there were no other witnesses. Would the man's word always win out over the women's? Would she have any recourse to avoid punishment or just have to bear it? What would be her best hope of avoiding punishment?

Hume proposes that ALL knowledge is gained through sense experience. Are there any good counter-examples where knowledge PRECEEDS experience (as generated by impressions)? I already know of the color example that Hume ponders.
