I especially like:
Twilight
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Book of Joe
Tomorrow, Maybe
Love, Ghosts, and Facial Hair
A Place Like This

books like that.
I love books with a lot of emotion.
Suggestions?

Most people in this country "think" that the nuclear bombings of Japan was justified. Now I am not going to say the Tokyo government was "goody-goody". They were not. And I accept that the Japanese goverment of those days started the war against China in 1937 criminally. And, yes, they committed mass killings [Nazis I would have fear them more, however!]. But let us not fool ourselves. Japanese military machine was financed from the US in the thirties by selling them scrap metals. And most Yanks paid almost no attention to Nankin rape of 1937. Neither the British. We thought that was "Asians' business.
And Truman had other reasons to bomb the hell the Japanese: blame scientists, Fermi and Oppenheimer who created the bomb and wished to be drop on Japan. And wanted to impress Stalin and claim hegemony of USA on the world. So it was not just "save some lives and stop the war". And dropping those things on women and children smack for me MURDER. What do you say?

And absolute power corrupts absolutely.
And that God has absolute power.

Then how can you assume God is completely moral and incorruptible?

(Please no anal athiests - its an 'assume God exists' question)

Here is a paragraph I'm having trouble with:

My passion for theatre grew over time. From assistant directing and properties directing with The Dinning Room to writing the director’s handbook and dramaturge work for An Actor’s Nightmare, I understood acting terminology. From assistant stage managing The Foreigner and building up sets for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, I learned the jargon of backstage. From performing as a lead Lily-Belle in Curious Savage and acting in more than half-a-dozen plays, I know that I can contribute a great deal in the classroom and build upon what knowledge I have already.

Keep to 89 words, keep the same idea of "I have experience in theater", "these are my highlights" and "why it's important for this study-abroad in london".

I want to become an actor, but I dont have much expierence. The only thing I have taken is a speech and acting class at my high school and plan on doing some plays this year, but it will be my first year doing so. I did go to proscout (plan on going agin) last year but when I walked up to them for the 15sec interview they said I needed more expierence (even though online it said no exp. needed). So what are some good tips to getting started. I plan on going to college in 2008, so what college would be right? (I live in Ohio so maybe somewhere in New York or just somewhere that has a solid program?)thnx

What do you do when you are tired and bored of your school?
I am currently junior in college and I fear that it is too late to transfer. It would be pointless. It's depressing me and I'm starting to lose interest in my courses as well.
Honestly i don't know how i lasted as long as i have. It is a small college and well i'm just tired of seeing the same ol' faces every damn day and well I don't get along with most people because I have a very complicated personality and people perceive me as being a *****, anti-social, reserved, distant, whatever you want to call it. What should I do?
