Arts & Humanities - 18 December 2006

I have to write an essay about what caused a Civil War, and the key terms that I had to include the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska controversy. How did these events cause the war? I know what they are, but I just think that the Compromise of 1850 delayed the war...Did Kansas-Nebraska controversy caused the war because it caused a larger gap between the North and the South?

Peter and Rosa, it was a short story in a volumn that I believe was called Winter's Tales. It was beautiful, and I think it might be some kind of classic, not sure.

I read it once when I was a child, and never was able to find it again.

Peter and Rosa were on a sheet of ice together, and all of a sudden the ice separated.

Anyone ever hear of it, or know who the author is? Thanks!

since when did the figure <3 become the standard form of the heart? im not just saying through the keyboard keys '<' and '3'. im talking about a valentines day heart or love. is it just because it look 'nicer' than the acctual heart? if so, why that figure and not something else?

22 yr old male looking for a writing partner. Open for collaboration but mainly there for motivation and someone to bounce ideas off of. Is there anyone one out there? Preferably in the Sydney, Australia area as I am based there.
I am focused on script writing (but have my epic novel series mostly plotted out) so anyone in a similar boat would be great to get in contact with.

Cheers,

Zook

In the painting, three Roman men are holding out their swords in a stance of allegiance to, I believe, an elder man. Women in the background are seen in despair. I don't know why I can't remember the painting's name. I don't know what period it is from, but I am assuming it is the Renaissance, and most likely it is Italian. Thanks.

They started the show with a horse-drawn covered wagon, then would do theatre-plays presenting aesop's fables, Brothers' Grimm fables, wisdom and humanity theme plays. It was always done like medieval style people travelling from town to town.
Anyone remember the name of that theatre troup or show which appeared once a week for many weeks on TV then?

It's difficult to describe this term but I need it to be on my college essay.

The term means an attending paper or a formal paper usual states who's going to attend a class. (has to do with education)
