Arts & Humanities - 20 June 2007

The book is 27 chapters, and about 111,000 words (I believe about 450 pages). Anyway, I had two teachers guide through the entire 16 months that it took me to finish writing the book, which started by a pure accident. Also, my work was reviewed by Marsha Willis, author of The Ethan Chronicles. In her letter to me she said, "It’s very reminiscent of a Grimm brothers’ fairy tale, or other fairy tales. It has an ancient feel to the language, and yet you have managed to weave in suspense, and a modern flavor. It’s like fantasy; sort of a Harry Potter feel."
I know that does not mean anything to you, but to me it means the a lot. Why? I am 19 yrs from Iraq who moved to the USA about 3 yrs ago, where I started learning English from the alphabets.
I need help in finding an agent or a publisher. Any recommendations, suggestions will be great. Thanks a bunch.

So Salman Rushdie is to become Sir Salman

I say great; the man is a genius; that's what arts honours are for. His peers say he's a bit of a princess. Probably true. But, in this context, so what?

I am wanting to try and teach about different cultures and their form of arts such as music, theatre, language, and arts. Any help would be great.

Eddie Willers says, "Dagny, that is what it was and you knew it, then but i didn't you knew it when you turned to look at the rails..I said "not business or earning a living"..but, Dagny business and earning a living and that in man which makes it possible- that in man which makes it possible..that is the best within us, that was the thing to defend. "
What does he mean by the best within us?
Why isn't he a part of the strikers???

I am doing a project on Charlemagne, and it keeps mentioning the Franks. Where did these people live? And if anyone has any useful and easy to understand biographies of Charlemagne, they would be much appreciated!

Okay when someone draws a picture and says in the description
Pen, ink and white acrylic on paper used. Like in this picture.
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55476364/

Are they literally using a pen for the drawing? If so what one, and how are they not messing up while drawing in pen and how are they shading so well?

could you recomend any books to read?
I like books like Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Redwall, Inkheart, and Magyk. Mostly I like to read books that have action, adventure, magic, and fantasy characters (elves, fairies, etc.). Thanks in advance.

If something as small as a butterfly beating its wings in China can create a hurricane in America, why don’t we just go to China and kill all the butterflies?
