Arts & Humanities - 20 March 2007

I can write poetry in a minute flat, and it's truly amazing. I love writing. I'm in a junior grade level Language Arts class, though i'm only an eighth grader.
But the problem is...i suck so bad at other subjects. I have to try extremely hard to succeed in those classes, where in Language Arts i rarely need to study to pull an A.
So my question is...Is there any way i can put my L.A. skills into learning more in the other subjects. Or any way, really? Please, i just don't get the other subjects. They seem stupid to me. History i'm pretty good at, but that's only because i imagine myself in that time period, and learn that way. But i think i'm slightly Mathematically and Scientifically retarded.
HOW DO I GAIN IN WHAT I SUCK AT???

Isn't nonexistence or existence only as an idea still a form of existence?

Which analogy is better?:

existence:nonexistence
1 : -1

existence:nonexistence
1 : 0

I've been wondering this for a while. Until the show came out I had never heard of Lucius Vorenus & Titus Pullo and their wives, or the fact that Cleopatra and Marc Antony had had children. I know that some things have never been truly figured out, like did Cleopatra commit suiced, or was it murder, etc, but for the most part, is Rome historically correct, or is it all ficticious?

I understand the basic concept of karma but would like opinions on the following:

Say if you hurt someone, (with deepest regret, remorse, and understanding of your actions) due to the self realisation that at some stage in life you have to follow your heart and do what makes you happy, is it as simple as what comes around goes around (because you hurt this person you will get hurt)? Or is the theory of karma more complicated in this instance?

Thoughts and opinions much appreciated.

i experience two things.

one being i have dreampt about something.

the second being when something is in the midst of happening, i remember it. like it already happened and what is actually happening is a memory.

weird cause what is happening currently in any given situation is the first time it is happening on this earth or in this world anyways.

and, just to add another question while i'm at it.

is there a difference between earth and the world for you?

Did Agatha Christie ever use the character name "Cricket" in one of her books ? I am writing a British murder mystery play, and I want to be careful I am not duplicating a character name, or at least be able to give credit where credit is due. Unless it is a common nickname? Any help would be appreciated.

is it legitimate to say one 'reasoned out' because 'he understood'?. Is there a difference between 'understanding' and 'reasoning'?

There seems to be a direct correlation between the idea of "Existence precedes essence" and humans are "Condemned to be free"

However, I am failing to recognize what that connection is. My friend has to write a paper on whether or not she agrees with the idea of humans being condemned to be free. However, she rejects the idea of existence preceding essence. Neither of us can see a problem though. How are these two concepts related? What effect does the rejection of existence before essence produce in relation to being condemned to be free?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Im quite confused.
