Arts & Humanities - 29 October 2006

So for my English class I have to read a book and do a report on it. I cant stand reading. Does anyone know of a good book that is funny (not one of those goes on and on about boring descriptions like "the deep creamy blue sky danced with fluffy clouds" none of that) or deals with teenage issues or is just a generally good book?

intelligence: capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.

wisdom: the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.

intelligence is innate. wisdom grows through time. but can one be considered wise without necessarily being intelligent? and how is this intelligence measured btw?

thanks in advance.

I feel silly doing this but here it goes...

Ecstasy of madness
envelops the night of calm
the sheets are burning blood
caress of light and charm
free the voluptious mumble
into a side of loud mercies
let the dark hide your face
but embrace the indicent audicies
expressions of falter
giving way to hunger
claw into the red sheets
velvety rough indistinct
another side of eroticism
rubbing backwards to the night
till dawn witnesses the crime
of erotic dances of light

Thank you!

"i am a republican."
"i am a compassionate person."
"i am a muslim."

do statements like these that people use to identify themselves serve as blueprints of how to live? or are they instead convenient pigeonholes for lifestyles that identify us by who we are and how we live?

what's in a name?

people on here r saying that a girl has no responsiblitry if she is rapped if she walks scantely clad into a pub with drunken horny men. OK BUT if u would not want your 16 yr old daughter to do that wat r u afraid of, if not the chance of her being rapped. Is that not admiting some men have no control and might rape .Now if u wont let your 16 yr old daughter go to a pub scantely clad with drunken horny men because some gyys will rape because they have no control Why then if a girl does the same thing she is not responsible for being rapped in a situatipon you wont even let your daughter do out of fear of her being rapped

We read the histories of the 18th century explorers coming on these South Sea Islanders all innocent and ignorant of everything except their island groups. But they did have these huge canoes that could also host sails, and, after all, they had got there from outside in the first place. So it's possible their knowledge was far more extensive - maybe they knew a good deal of the neighbouring island groups and had a vaguer knowledge of a much larger area. Does anyone know?
