Hi all.

I'm doing a project for my Colour Theory class where we have to paint a still life of three objects using acrylic paint. However, I'm having trouble rendering the objects in my painting. With black and white, I had no problem but with colour, it seems a lot harder than just using different shades of the colour of the object. Can anyone give me some tips or maybe some websites to help? Thanks.

"What to do, when a ship carrying a hundred passengers suddenly capsizes and only one lifeboat? When the lifeboat is full, those who hate life will try to load it with more people and sink the lot. Those who love and respect life will take the ship's axe and sever the extra hands that cling to the sides of the boat."

If the culture there was primitive, I would think it'd just take one person to get captured and everyone would run. Would they catch them with guns? How did they get the huge numbers of slaves over the the US?

Bloom

Prologue: Remember

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A tall figure watched the moonlight reflect onto the pale water of the royal garden's pond. Stars dotted the sky, making everything seem bright even when it was the middle of the night.

His messy raven black hair needed to be cut, his deep emerald green eyes full of depression. He is dressed in a simple dark blue tunic that was thin, yet cool in the spring breeze. His dark brown pants are worn from use, and have been stitched up in some areas.

Even if he looked grubby at the moment, he used to be part of the royal order of knights for the kingdom he lives in. Not anymore..those days were just a faded memory..

'..Just like him. Just like Mizuki..'Samaru murmured sadly, gripping his hands into fists.

The generals Erich Ludendorff and Paul von Hindenburg appear on 18 November 1919 before an investigative committee of the Reichstag which concerns the issue of whether a peace treaty could have been concluded before the end of the First World War. In this regard, Hindenburg alleges that the German army was never defeated militarily, but rather was „secretly and methodically“ undermined from the home front, quasi „stabbed in the back.“ Hindenburg, supported by von Ludendorff, thus rejects any military responsibility for the defeat in the war and originates the „myth of the stab in the back,“ which finds many adherents, especially in right-wing circles.

I have not written fiction for a few years because I have been at university. Now, I have a little more time, and I have been working on a story (which will probably become a short novel) for several months.

I am almost obsessed with my characters. I think about them a lot – their thoughts, their motivations, their joys, their sorrows. My characters fascinate me in the same way people in real life fascinate me, and they seem to exist in the world as strongly as they exist in my head.

I do not consider myself crazy. Can any other writers elate to my obsession?

My eyes are dry yet tears are falling,
People say I'm dreaming-
then why am I bawling?
I get to a point to where I can't take it
"WHY?", I ask myself, "WHY?" can't I just leave?!-
I can it's my choice.

i kinda wrote it

I have to say which words are stressed and unstressed and I was wondering how you can tell what the one-syllable words are?

this is what I'm doing:

It’s dust in my mouth
Taste of the prairie’s hot wind
Tells me I’m in Chicago
Not New York
Days after flying in
Over lake Michigan….
A familiar looking skyline
Mile of shop names I recognize
Mean nothing
When the wind starts up…



like how can you tell what "It's" and "dust" is since it's only one-syllable?

Have a question regarding a strange situation. A young woman in her late 20's/early 30's dies suddenly in a car accident. There is no obituatry in ANY of the papers (and this happened in the largest city in the USA) and her father does not contact all the friends in her mobile phone until 2 days after she was buried. (some were contacted in time to go to viewing and funeral but most of us didn't know she passed away until after she was already buried.) The father refused to give his address so we could send flowers saying "we don't want any flowers". 1 year later - there still is no headstone for her - and she's buried in a family plot where there is already a stone with the family name & the names of other relatives buried there. Why would her parent's being so "secretive" about her death? Not even a marker or adding her name to the family headstone after a year? No obituary? Not calling her friends until after she's buried? Why would someone do that? Help me understand.
