Arts & Humanities - 21 September 2007

I am looking for ideas from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' to be used for monolouges. If you can think of scenes from the show that can be used for a one person, perferablly, one minute monologue, that would be just what i am looking for. (The scene does not have to be a minute long i just need some ideas) Thanks!!

They sit atop the dresser
on the veil that she used
to cover her head with on Sundays
still and curled
like a cat napping on a carpet

she's been gone twelve years now
but I can no longer bring myself to move them
in fact, I only held them in my hands
once
and that was after her first birthday had passed
after she had past
passed from past
its quaintness fails
to move me
black as habit
oily from the daily supplication
her finger strembling like her eyelid strembling like her lip strembling
to pray for those less fortunate than her
she would kneel and clutch the beads
as if they were the lifeline
to eternity
but to eternity she's gone
and only the beads remain.

I'm pretty sure the book is called Flowers in the cemetery. Its a book that explains things like where words in the english language come from and why some languages are easier to learn than others

... commensurate with their age until just before their death".
Sentence in "Japanese : A Comprehensive Grammar" published 2001. How would the healthcare system be achieving this ? Would there be a system to whack patients if their state of health is worse than commensurate with their age ?

I know (like my English teacher or something) my secret, or should I hold on to it?
I’m 17 and, well, an experience about 3 months ago revealed to me the extent of my mother's love. It was like a love greater than I could imagine--a love so great that it opened my eyes, and immediately I was a lot wiser. Eventually, all my fears, insecurities, and selfish desires dissolved—I had overcome them. It’s so weird, feeling like an adult in a teen’s body—truly amazing really; it’s a gift for which I’m grateful.
I’ve even reached that point where it’s like… I don't think my mom was a good parent, but I...love her. It's just that I understand. It's so weird, because I used to be so mad at her --but I totally forgive her and want her to feel loved like she deserves. I mean people are flawed, and they're not perfect--but somehow, it's our responsibility to rise past that and love wholeheartedly despite every else. You know... it is pain that guides us to try to understand and eventually build up our wisdom to a point where all we see in ourselves is love. It is then that it doesn't matter that the person hurt us, because we're above it. The truth is that everyone deserves to be loved despite imperfections and flaws.
Loll I’m looking forward to AP English essays now, because my compassion and understanding of the human condition is so much broader now due to one experience that completely opens your mind and the alluring desire to understand more and more—and I’m so excited about life now, that I’m learning things everyday. It was a complete change in me, and somehow I keep wanting to improve myself in all ways big and small.
So should I keep this a secret or not?

IF I ONLY HAD A LIFE

(Sung To The Tune Of 'If I Only Had A Brain')


I could wile away the hours
Creating profound towers
Of joy, triumph and life
And my mind I’d be using
While my talents I’m not losing
If I only had a life.

I could even solve great riddles
While helping individuals
In trouble or in strife
With the thoughts I’d be thinking
I could make the world less stinking
If I only had a life.

I might even find a girlfriend
Might even start a new trend
Becoming a shining knight
And find myself more human
Realizing this means I have won
If I only had a life.

(I think I'll go read a book or something.....or not.)

thanks for your time!

and if you can also answer, who was the leader in the FIRST PUNIC WAR?

Heres my idea. Ogres, goblins, humans, and dragon riders, all fighting for one sword that starterd the war between them. But it seems played out. How do i make it so it really stands out like Eragon or The Edge Chronicles?

I'm an Intermediate Guitar player, and I've known how to tune guitars for a long time now. I can tune Acoustic guitars very well! But I have ALOT of troubl tuning the Electric type. I get a horrible sound. The Guitar is old, and I haven't changed the strings. Do you think that's the problem?

The Free Will Defense assumes that the best possible world includes creatures with free will. Is a world with humans in it, which includes human wickedness but also the good things that humanity brings with it, better than a world without humans in it?
