can you simplfiy the words in this passage:

La Chanson de Roland (the Song of Roland) remains one of the most studied medieval epic poems. This is the story of Roland, nephew to Charlemagne, King of France. The army is dispatched to Spain to fight invading Moors in a quasi-crusade. As the victorious French army heads home, Roland, bringing up the rear, is attacked. He had been given a horn to sound in time of desperation, but he blows this horn too late for help to arrive. While the poem is far from historical truth, this tale remains one of the great examples of early French literature.

One of the greatest works in all of literature was penned in Italy during the Middle Ages. Dante Alighieri finished his La Divina Commedia (the Divine Comedy) in 1321. The first of the three volumes, the Inferno, is probably the best known and describes the afterlife for the wicked, where hell is comprised of nine descending circles and there is no forgiveness. The Ninth and lowest circle was reserved for Satan and betrayers of benefactors, kin, and country. Purgatorio and Paradiso, the remaining volumes of La Divina Commedia, continue Dante's journey through more of the afterlife.

Medieval England thrilled to the adventures of King Arthur and his knights. This king, who supposedly grew up near Cornwall, led his armies in battles against the Angles and Saxons. He called his warriors knights, hundreds of years before codes of chivalry would make this word commonplace. The first stories about Arthur were actually penned in French in a work called "La Morte d'Arthur" (the Death of Arthur).

Have we divided our society into two groups? Those who are rational empiricists and will not believe anything that they cannot observe and test OR those who are written off as fools, mentally deficient, or mentally ill? Is there no room for both reasoned thought and intuition? Must all truth come from a base of reason and rationality to the exclusion of non rational thinking? Does anyone else make a distinction between non rational and irrational thoughts or ideas? I think we are missing something if we deny what we might be sensed on a non rational and intuitive level.

I read a blog re: reading banned books, and this person said he/she read 'Cry To Heaven' by Anne Rice for a schook report, then decided later it wasnt suitable material to read in front of the class. He/she said its about a 'Castrati'. What is it, exactly?

I enjoy reading the Little House on the Prairie books to my daughter, but am now looking for something for myself. Are there any other books like this, but for adults?

I like the theme of the Westward migration of pioneers, and I like the level of detail in the Little House books, in terms of showing what life was like back then.

I am definitely not looking for romance novels, and not necessarily cowboy/outlaw novels either (which is what the Louis L'Amour novels seem like).

Why in this world do we live and breathe
There must be a god there’s nothing to believe
No matter your race, colour or creed

In this life there’s nothing but greed.
Monopolies big business and such
Does our lives really mean that much ?

What have we done to this wonderful place
There is some answer, just look into space
Where did we come from? How did we grow?
The answer to this no body knows

I'm just wondering if anyone else besides me is excited about the next and final harry potter book coming out in July. I knew it had to come out this year because it's been a long time since the 6th book came out. Plus the 5th movie is coming out and i want to see how they show sirius' death scene and all that.
