Arts & Humanities - 26 August 2007

By realistic, i mean sci-fi that are Jurassic-Parkish (where, the story actually sounds like it could happen), I like science-fictions with humans as the central characters (and not some random alien civilization). Does anyone have any books to recommend.

I like books that are 50% character developement and story and 50% actually the science stuff.

For example, i like the sci-fics like "Mercury", "Venus" and "Jupiter" all by Ben Bova (check his books out if you haven't, they are awesome)

I am 12 going on 13, and I have little acting experience. I sing in dance in my room in front of my mirror, and also, I act out lines in shows and movies I know the lines to. Please don't think I am in this for the fame! It's nothing like that. I really want to have the experience and to live my dream and get a little line like in one of those Sketchers commercials where the kids say 1 line or not even one and show off the shoes? I used to only want it for fame, but I've grown out of that, I am really determined. But, my Mom thinks I have no chance to even audition because I live like 8 hours away from NYC and across country from LA. But, I know my family. If I had a big once-in-a-liftime chance, they'd move for me, or at least rent a house there and leave my house vacant for some time. Please, could nobody say anything dream-crushing? I get very emotional about this stuff because It's such a big dream for me. This is Macey, and once again, this is NOT for fame!!!! It's for the passion

I have been posting my poems in yahoo answers to get honest reviews.This is my third poem.Please, write your reviews.Thanks.
"twisted love"
walking through this neighborhood with the beloved
so sweet dreams, so proud, so moved
we made envys in the spring of dove
oh! they called it "a shakespearean love"

blossoming with flowers in the quiet evening
in the affair of hearts, the words of giving
tears of joy when we were shared
the swear of life after life to be paired

hurt in love? yes, took me from home to street
wandering nights, hiding days try not to meet
the same neighbors showed hatred once so near
planting the flower of love, forever, faraway o' dear?

What do you like in your main character, and what don't you like. Characteristic's, not morals.

I've done all but 2 of the questions that I'm suppose to answer re: the Little Big Horn battle, but the article they gave me as a resource jumps all over the place...Anyway, I'm super confused and would be grateful for any help you can give.

Here they are:

What did Custer do with his troops, in an attempt to beat the larger
force?

Which group had better guns?

My wife and her family have "family stories" about being related to Little Turtle, but no doc. proof. Are there any know living decendants to him that may be able to help link her family to his. Her family seems to think that a Clara Long is the link that puts them in his line. I am unable to get any info. from the Miami Indians in Indiana. They say they do not have this info. As well there are supposed indian relation that has the line but is unwilling to share? Again this is "rumor".

I'm writting a fantasy novel and I started with no idea what was going to happen. I just started writting. I have just over 100 pages right now and haven't had to go back and scrap anything yet, actually I like what I have so far. Anyway, after the first 100 I went back and fixed a few mistakes in spelling and grammer. I ended up adding about two pages in total, just to clairify a few things I didn't when I first wrote it. Being my first attempt at writting a novel I am not sure weather I am going at it in an odd way or weather this tends to be common? It works for me and I'm not going to alter my way I was just curious weather this is common or not?
I myself have no clue what is going to happen next, it just seems to just unfold as I write. No outlines, no clue, no idea. It seems, however to be working quite well for me.
