Considered to be America's must-read classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel about a young boy, Huck, and a slave, Jim. Throughout the story these two marginalized characters meet new people, discover new customs, and much much more. The various techniques and story lines Twain uses informs the reader of the major issues that were faced during the 18th century, while still making the reader laugh. Every ingredient Twain uses, such as satire and the various themes, make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a phenomenal piece of literature.
In order to express his thoughts on conflicting issues facing society at the time, Twain writes the book from the first person point of view of a teenager. This approach accomplishes a non bias or bigot view of the main issues discussed.

Does anyone know any sites with pictures of different badge's that were given in the war?

Do badges from the war userally have writing about the war on them? And are they worth anything at all?

I found a badge today tucked right at the back of a cabinet that belonged to my grandad who died not long ago and was wondering wether it is anything to do with the war. It's sterling silver and looks old. It's probally just a random badge, but I'm curious =]

Le Cancre


Il dit non avec la tête
mais il dit oui avec le coeur
il dit oui à ce qu'il aime
il dit non au professeur
il est debout
on le questionne
et tous les problèmes sont posés
soudain le fou rire le prend
et il efface tout
les chiffres et les mots
les dates et les noms
les phrases et les pièges
et malgré les menaces du maître
sous les huées des enfants prodiges
avec des craies de toutes les couleurs
sur le tableau noir du malheur
il dessine le visage du bonheur

I enjoy drawing in my spare time (that is when I get some..). However, I usually use a good ol' number 2 pencil. I would like to start a new portrait and also shade this one.

What pencils do you recommend and around how much would they cost?

Thanks.

For an English project, I have to dress up like someone from the Elizabethan era and give a speech on my life.
My fictitious person person is Constance Townsend--a seamstress--but I don't know what century I should say I was born in. (I'm wearing a simple skirt, apron, poet's blouse, lace up vest and bonnet.) This is my speech as of now:
"My name is Constance Townsend and I was born in the ____ century to a cobbler and a seamstress in England. At age __, I began to work as a seamstress. My daily life includes making my own patterns, hand-sewing, making my own measurements, and keeping my _[word for shoppe or work area?]_ in good order. I normally make dresses for the middle/upper (?) class. All the dresses I make are hand-sewn and require care and patience to finish. Often times, I will need to make multiple petticoats for one dress. The dress-making process can take anything from weeks to months, depending on the extravagance of the dress.
