I know that no one knows for sure but what do you suppose will happen the day the world ends? How will it happen and how will we know it's the end?

New authors can make a lot of mistakes attempting to pubish their first book. Many prople have opinions on what are the best methods about the book publishing process. There have been authors that have been rejected hundreds of times before their first book was published. I seek to learn from their mistakes. Success leaves clues. So if I apply the same kinds of principles, I can reap the same kinds of rewards. The trick is you have to know what to do. This question is aimed at finding those answers. I know there is no one framework that works for every situation, but studying at least 10 significant points can lead to the overall building blocks needed to succeed in book publishing.

I'm just trying to brainstorm with as many people as I can here, thought maybe some random strangers might like to help me out...

Anyway, I'm writing a story involving a group of teenagers who end up trapped in a house together and end up getting killed by one of their own (they don't know who until the end). \

The problem is I can't think of a good reason WHY they are trapped in the house. A snowstorm seems boring and cliche but everything else doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas? It has to be something that keeps them in the house even when they all start dropping like flies.

i have read all 6 books, but didn't pay attention to all the little things. i'm not sure if that makes sense, but you know how people think the little things are foreshadowing the 7th book? well that's what i'm wondering about. CAn anyone briefly give me an over view of all the little things of the book that i will need to know before i read the seventh book? i would appreciate it very much!!!

The essay is about the New England, Southern, and Middle colonies. this is the essay question thingy.

Analyze the ways in which two of the following contributed to the development of three distinctly different societies in colonial America:

Religion
Society
Government

I picked Society and government but I dont know how to make my 5 paragraph essay.

If I have to talk about how society and government contributed to the development of the colonies, what should I talk about.

can I talk about thier economy and their ways of life???

i'm not from the US so i don't know anything about American history. in Australia we have aborigines, and we pretty much stole the country off them, and the american equivalent of that would be native americans (indians). but how did the african americans get there? i feel rude for thinking this, but were they first brought over for slavery? that's the most logical reason i can think of.
