I know it comes from Queen Vashti from the Book of Esther in the King James Verison of the bible but what is the real meaning and where did it originate from?

Okay I have been planning to write a book on a biracial child. I actually started in around the fifth or sixth grade then i stopped because i did not have time and i did not think i could truly depict a biracial child. The book was not supposed to revolve around race, but i believed i would automatically have a biased or untrue perspective being that i am not biracial. I hope don't sound like an idiot. But can i just write a book about a biracial without having to do research or interviews. Biracial children are the same as other children. Everyone shares similiar experience but why do i have to do research?

I've brainstormed a little. This topic seems to keep popping into my mind. I don't have any names planned yet so....
There is this girl that plays soccer. She likes this guy that is in most of her classes in school but hasn't told him her feelings yet. This girl is out on her first soccer game, where she comes up to head the ball, but the player competing against her pushes her out of the way. She falls to the ground hard on her head. She is rushed to a hospital, where a surgery is performed on her skull. All of her memories, except soccer and that one guy she likes, are gone. Over a television network to the school, she tells the words I really like you to that guy she likes. This guy is suddenly touched about this, where they meet and they have a relationship together.
Say your opinions, and as I said, I have no names yet, so sorry if this sounds a bit odd to repeat things (if you'd like, you can give character name suggestions).

Street Lights, City Lights, Night Lights
This is the life.
Running 'round, admist the sounds
Children playing, adulthood yelling
Paining, laughing, everything in between
Culturize, behind my eyes I see
Pure simplicity, within the tranquilities
of the ever so calming star lights.
Diversity, individuality, the components
Of the newer life and generation
that surrounds me.
And they run around, and they scream and shout
And they fall down, get back up
Knowing what it's like to mess up
That's the life, of making a life.

...thats what i have so far what do you guys think....???....anyone help?...any add on's....etc would be helpful, please. thanks.

And he tortures them before killing them, rapes them, kills tortures and rape kids in front of other kids who know taht they will have the same fate, and at one point a kid escapes (then he dosent kill the guy, he is just gone), and another point he gets a disabled kid who is of no use to him then he just buries the kid alive, and i go into detail about the torture methods he uses, and in the end he sell the body parts to black markets.


Would what be a good idea for a first book?

i hate to admit it but i do believe in destiny cause you can't control everything especially the most important things like the kind of parents you have or whether you will ever run into the right person (love), etc...so my question is even if it seems that someting you would like to achieve is incredibly hard to attain, do you think you can still do it despite the obstacles. thanx

If you removed humans from the world, there would be a definite change, but the world wouldn't really break up.

If we can use the word 'life form' to be so broad that it can be applied to trees, or worms, or many other organisms, than we can come up with things that have a much greater effect on the world.

It's called "What a Men Would Do For A Women"

After months of being away.
A husband woken up really early,
Hardly getting any sleep,
And drove to the nearest flower store
To buy a dozen bouquets of a dozen flowers.
He had just found out that his wife was alright
After a car crash that nearly took her life.
After he brought a dozen bouquets of a dozen flowers,
He drove to a chocolate store
And bought a whole lot of chocolate.
Then,he drove to a teddy bear store nearby.
There,he bought one three foot tall teddy bear,
With the arms holding a heart in the front of the bear that said "I love you"
And twelve mini teddy bears.
He then drove back home.
At his house,
He set the kitchen table up:
Against the wall with the three foot teddy bear in the middle of the table,
The twelve mini teddy bears surrounded the three foot bear,
With the eleven of the dozen bouquets of flowers.
The chocolate was spread out between the spots that had nothing in them.

Lying to someone

Or

Not telling the whole truth

For those of you who want to answer this question from a philosophical point of view do not read on, go ahead and answer. [I would prefer this]

For those of you who like to give relationship advice read on to see the scenario.

Here's a hypothetical scenario:

Say you loved someone who holds unrequited love for someone else which would be worse; to tell them outright that you don't love them [lying] as you don't want to make their head spin more than it already is, or to never tell them and never find out if they would say it back [not telling the whole truth] and just remaining close friends
