i'm trying to write a sonnet, and have a great back story, but i need it to be based on an actual life as part of the assignment. (shrug). I kind of want a name of a real historical figure who everyone thought was not going to succeed (due to his dubious male pro background) but was able to turn his life around and become someone famous and worth knowing.

Already tried to google search this but all i found were female pros.

Thanks in advance (don't worry though, if i can't find any actual historical figures, I probably will just change the subject)

from Delhi, preferably from a govt. university. what options do I have? Will age be a factor? I will prefer Jamia University and want to pursue some Arts course, but I am open to other options also. I passed my school in 2002. I achieved 71.5% in Commerce with Hindi and I passed from K.V. Noida. My marks were as follows:
English 71
Accountancy 80
Economics 65
Business Studies 67
Hindi 77
Please help me. I am in desperate need of help. I need guidance. I am open to any suggestion. But I am not ready to leave Delhi. My prefereed choice is English Honours. But I am really worried about my age.

I want to hear some horrible, creepy things. Can someone recommend me a creepy website, or a creepy book or movie? Really sick, out-there kind of stuff.

For my brother, who's 12, I'm planning on getting the following books:

1. Can Adults Become Human by Jim Benton
2. Eragon
3. The Lightening Thief (Books 1 and 2) by Rick Riordan

If you've read any of these books, PLEASE let me know if they're OK. Especially Eragon because I've heard many mixed reviews. Also, if you know any other FUNNY books that're decent for 12 year olds, PLEASE let me know.

If everybody expects you to be the bad guy all the time, it's going to be hard to make friends, let alone get people to accept and love you. Don't you think he just snaped one day and went: To Hell with all of you then! I'm working for your damnation!

I read "Ender's Game" a while ago and really liked it. Are there any good Sci-Fi books out there somewhat similar to it?

Someone read a book to me when I was little about these creatures, im not sure if they were human or what but I remember that it was some sort of society that would be ranked by how many stickers they had recieved by the Gov ( i presume) and thats how good of people they were... but then there was one who everyone thought who was bad because he didnt have any stickers..... but he was good its just that he didnt believe in the stickers so they wouldnt even stick to him.

Please someone help me find this book.... Changed my prespective on life on a very young age.

This guy asked me to a dance. I'm 17, he's 16, we're in the same grade and school. But, I'm not sure if he wants to get romantically involved too, as in bf and gf. We talk some, and e-mail a lot. And, I e-d him that he could back out if he wanted and he said that's not an option. Then, I asked him why me and not some other pretty girl who goes to our school...I'm average looking, and he came up with a paragraph of reasons. Do u think he wants more that just to go to a dance? Should I ask him if he wants more, or just wait and see? Am I exaggerating a simple situation?

I want to be with him.
And not in a physical way. Teenagers doing that=eew!
