I want to know more about the writing style used by James Frey in "A Million Little Pieces". Some ideas are explained in full sentences, others are not. Is there a particular name for this, any guidelines one should follow to write in this manner?

Thanks

My teacher assigned us to write a poem about someone we know well and we have to describe what they look like and their qualities. So I chose to do mine on Marijuana in the form of a person. Here's what i got so far so you can see the ryme scheme:

There is a woman, dressed in green and brown
When she is around, noone wears a frown
Her head is covered with little red hairs
Sometimes its purple, but noone really cares

If any of you can give me some more couplets, I'd really apprieciate it. It has to be about a person though, so make it something that would describe a person, but still describe weed too.

Legally murder is when you decide to end someone's life. If a sick patient is lying in bed and is told he or she will die within 2 hours, and an nefarious adversary stabs smirks and unplugs their life-sustaining treatment, we would surely condemn this person as having committed murder.
But what if a person is jumping off a building and two seconds before the person hits the ground, a stranger shoots him. The stranger doesn't know the person who wants to commit suicide, he just reasons "he is going to die anyways, what's the difference if I take 1 second of his life away?" Let's say instead an adversary knows the person committing suicide and he shoots him, but he maliciously kills him for the reason so that he will be the person who killed his enemy, so that he can have the last laugh and tell himself he was the one who murdered the person he hated.

Did the stranger commit murder? Did the adversary commit murder? Have they both commited murder or have neither?

As a reader of P. J. O’Rourkes “ Holidays in Hell”. Traveling from the U.S., to Australia.

Would you potentially call it a “Holiday to Hell”, because Australia’s past, the land of demons, and parts previously being called Van Diemons Land?

Give me a reasonable explanation.

I've read some books by Sarah Dessen (Teen romance novels) and loved them. I also read the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer and loved those books as well.

Are there any other books out there besides them that are a good teen romance story?

Also, I love books that are told in first person.

Thanks and 10 points for best answer =)

looks like the play is over, the final act is done. The story of a dreamer who thought he'd found the one. caught up turning pages, didn't know the story ends, caught in the fact of the matter that her feelings were pretend. It is time to close the curtain, turn the stage lights out. she played her part oh so well he never had a doubt. standing in the shadows, as the bright lights fade away, standing there with a broken heart and nothing left to say.

Or will we always have faults and failings no matter how hard we try to conquer something. As an eg. someone with a temper, or someone with impatience, or someone who swears, or someone who is always late.....if a person tried to conquer all this, will there be a time when it's possible to just become perfect. Or will we always be imperfect, and need to be accepted for who we are? How far can our efforts go in conquering?

I wrote a short story a while back but have to fix some parts before I submit it to a contest at my school. It's about painting...and I could have sworn that I read on a website that all colors mixed together form the color WHITE. But I'm proofreading the story and it just doesn't seem right. Is there such a thing where all colors mixed together form a certain color? If so, what is that color? It's very important that I find out.

As I get to the top of the hill,
I look down at the beautiful world below.
The blazing sunset tears at the evening sky,
and glistens off the dark saphier waters,
making the water sparkle.
As the sun rays dance.
The sound of the sea is still here,
carried up by the cool breeze,
like angels rising to heaven.
The dirt road,
like a long brown ribon,
winds past the sweet white cottages,
and ends at he grand white cabin,
where we stay.
Our entire family,
all in one place.
The sea wind whips my hair,
whispering the secrets of so many summers.
I gather the last of the firewood,
and gently glide down the mountain,
carried by the calling of gulls.
Soon the sky will be dark,
and full of glowing stars,
soon a fire will be blazing,
in the fire pit next to the grand white cabin,
warming the chilly air of the night.
Soon I will look through the gap in the trees,
surrounding our cabin.
And I will see the stars,
twinkling their hellos.
