I'd like the book to have to do with sports or maybe like 60's or 70's rock.

well our founding fathers wrote the decleration of independence which was to promote liberty but has that dream come true? i mean
WHY did they write it in the first place? cause in my opinion they said all men were created equal and yet slavery was still practiced in those times after it was written so it doesnt make sense
what is ur opinion about all this?

I'm curious to hear some thoughts on the issue. I am not entirely sure what I believe, but I know I don't believe in fire and brimstone or dooms day. I think if we as humans don't take care of our planet, our race will slowly die out. For if we are one with the earth, nature and the universe, and treat it well. It will treat you well in return. You get what you give. Any thoughts?

There's this boy, 16, who doesn't have many friends and is sort of a loner. He likes skateboarding and stuff like that. His brother is fighting in iraq and his mom divorced his dad, then died from cancer when he was 5. His dad is an alchoholic and they leave each other alone. He lives in, not an urban area, but it isn't quite suburban, some where in the middle.

So theres this kid, 16, no friends, torn apart family, loner. Then this girl moves in down the street, and they become friends. She is really nice, pretty, not really a cheerleader girl, or totally girly(as in, pink. only pink) but not punk. The books all about there friendship, and there lives. I just need to know what you think of the plot. I'm trying to think of something exciting that happens near the climax, so if you have an idea for that, id appreciate it.

I have World History class. So this teacher assigned a homework of us making a timeline with 6 sentences and we have to order them. So the teacher said to make pictures and color them for each sentence. So the first sentence of my timeline is "Romans Execute Jesus of Nazareth." She said stick firgues are okay. Do you think it is offensive to draw a cross and A stick figure tied up on it? What picture should I draw if my idea is offensive? I don't know exactly about Jesus, but did a Roman use a wepon to execute him? So can I draw a Roman with a wepon. I don't want to draw something bad. :[
