I need to write a 4-5 page paper, analyzing the poetry of Tang dynasty poets, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei, as well as comparing/contrasting their styles and topics. If anyone is familiar with these poets and their workss, what would you suggest as the best way to go about writing this paper? How should I organize it? What types of claims can I make? Thanks in advance :).

the thing is...I have 2 idea's for stories...and i would love to start them both. For the benefit of me i think it would be better to do one then another. Plus there's one story idea that's more fun and one thats a bit moe on the serious side. I've got characters drawn for them(by me because i can draw quite well) and a storyline for both. So what do all of you think: Should i write one than the other or... both at the same time and hope for the best? ^_~

I am 11 and last week I read A Midsummer Night's Dream and Pride and Prejudice. What did you think about either? During Pride and Prejudice I was deeply sad that Jane Austin actually went through the things she wrote about. As I read I put myself in Jane's shoes that is a scary thought, isn't it. A Midsummer Night's Dream I thought was written as a light entertainment to accompany a marriage celebration; and while the identity of the historical couple for whom it was meant has never been conclusively established, there is good textual and background evidence available to support this claim.

If you don't think that I read those books or wrote this you’re wrong. I love read classic pieces of literature even though I am in 5th grade!

A picture would be good. If you can not find a picture, please give an explaination. It is for my World War I propaganda poster.

By the way, is this a good idea:
"You don't have to be a SOLDIER to slay the HUN."
[picture of a dead German soldier being stood on by a liberty bond with legs and arms holding up a sword]
"Liberty Bonds will defeat the Germans"

I was wondering what you thought of this story so far, please be honest, thanks!
The computer made a soft hum as Blaire typed away at the black keys. Today was Kin, so she had to send Kinmil to all of her friends. Her eyelids slowly drooped over her opaque eyes, begging for sleep; but she knew better than to listen to them. With effort, she opened her eyes back up, asking herself if she had activated it. She waited for a moment then heard the dreaded voice coming from the silver speaker above her, answering her question.
“Activation for H2O” the metal voice chimed as she tried to block herself with her lunch tray, but it was too late. The icy blow of water smacked her right in the face, numbing her cheeks momentarily. Finally it came to a cease and she looked to see what damage had been done. Her books were fine, the waterproof covers she bought at break time protected them from getting drenched in the water. Her metal table now had a small puddle on it, but that could be easily wiped away. She inspected her computer for a drop of water, grateful not to find any. With a sigh of relief, she quickly finished off her mils and pressed a silver button.
“Permission for camera to be turned off while I sleep?” she spoke into the speaker adjacent to the one on the ceiling . She waited for a moment, hopeful that her little “nap” wouldn’t have more severe consequences besides the spray of water.
“Permission not granted, camera will be off for ten minutes.” the metal voice chimed and she heard a quick bing, indicating the timer had started and camera was off. Quickly she tore off her clothes, then entered 345 into the glowing number pad next to the huge silver doors. They slowly slid open and she walked into the white bathroom. She turned the silver knob waiting for a familiar gurgle. At last she heard it, and the water gushed out into the tub. Blaire pushed down the silver knob and the gushing stopped, now the water sprayed from the colorless shower head. Briskly washed, then pulled the knob out, stopping the flow.
“Five minutes remaining.” Blaire heard from the speaker. She pulled her night clothes on in a hurry, then inspected herself in the mirror, looking for imperfections. She had none, her cream colored skin was flawless. Blaire grabbed a brush on top of the counter and briskly ran it through her long, dark honey hair. She cleaned up the room, then entered 543 into the glowing number pad beside her, opening the doors. Now that she was out of the steamy room, the cold air hit her unexpectedly; now reminding her that she forgot to turn the heater on. She immediately bolted under the dark blue comforter on her bed. Blaire let the warmth surround her as she fell into a dreamless sleep as she heard a bing, letting her know the camera was back on and the light was turned off.

Absolutely Nothing is impossible to imagine, and yet something simply always being without a beginning, without end,cause or creator seems utterly unimaginable. Yet that is what we must admit. Something has existed forever, and yet how can a universe or anything exist without a viewer? in addition if more than one thing has always existed, differentiated from one another , how can that be? It seems to me we must accept that and that is no harder than accepting a self existent being. In fact a self existent being versus non being has more explanantory power.

Someone is shot and killed; were there no loudness to the gunshot, the event would have been different.

I do not know if you can help me, but I have a set of encyclopedias that my father bought in the 50's and I just can't make myself throw them out. I have too much respect for books. Is there any organization that I could donate them to? Thanks.

For an art project, I am painting a chair, and at the end, the chairs will be placed in a silent auction for bidding. I was wondering, would a "Pirates of a Caribbean" theme work?

I'm looking for popularity here, amongst adults, and well, got any ideas? What would you like to see on a chair?

With Bukowksi it seems you either love him or hate him.

I have read, Ham On Rye, Post Office, Women, Factotum, The Most Beautiful Girl In Town and am reading Tales Of Ordinary Madness.

Bukowski appeals to my darker nature.
