In this day and age,do we view Michelangelo as more of a sculptor or a painter? I think most people would know him for his David but the Creation of Adam is fairly popular too,not to mention the Sistine Chapel! I see him as a sculptor I think,especially they way he thought their was a spirit within the marble and he had to free it. Anyone else have any opinions on this?

Just wondering what peoples opinions are on Renaissance art? Anyone like it? Do you think people can still relate to it now or does it seem too 'high art' like? I think its become more widespread and available to more people through reproductions(posters,bags etc) but does that immunise people against it?

Hi, I am an actress looking for work, I am currently working backstage in a theatre and have lots of amateur acting experience (from college etc) and I have been on myspace looking at other actress' profiles and they all seem to have gone to uni or drama school. Should I go? Will a degree help with my career? I am 22, am I too old? Also, how can i afford it?

My wife and I live a comfortable life, we don't have any money problems because we live in our means and splurge only on special occassions.

We are in our mid 30's and will have our house and cars paid off in less than a year due to hard work and MANY extra payments.

We would like a bigger house, a newer car, etc. but we know we we need to be happy with what we have instead. So we save our money for a future child and prepaid vacations that will give us memories.

Its really hard to be happy with what you have, and it seems like many people think buying a bunch of stuff will make them happier.

My friends had a nice house, but had to sell it to buy a bigger one that costs twice as much. They are still not happy with their house and now they are in major debt with all their equity loans.

Why do so many people have so much stuff, like cars, expensive houses, gadgets, clothes, etc. when it doesn't make them feel better about their lives?

Why are we like this?

I am only 13 yrs old but i have a theory...

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong ago there was a HUGE giant ball of extremely hot gas (a very powerful star, with more energy than anything existing now...) that was constantly losing energy (like how everything is). One day it had much too little energy to contain it's size that it exploded (The BIG BANG). Little bits of the star was scattered around space, the hotter pieces with more energy caused stars. The smaller pieces with less energy caused planets. Because these stars and planets had equal force pulling inwards from the middle of them they formed a rounded sphere shape. And this is how planets and stars were formed.....phew! I asked my science teacher but he didn't know.

I had to read -and loved- 'The Scarlet LEtter'; 'Frankenstein'; 'Gulliver's Travels'; 'Tess of the D'Ubervilles' and many more but would never have known them unless I had to write an essay on them. Please give me a top two or three rating for books like these that I will otherwise never read...
