As English is not my native language, so I had found it really difficult to build up my vocabulary by reading novels and through help of Dictionary. Still i find myself tormenting mysrlf somrtimes with words in articles. I wonder if there is anyone who does not need at all Dictionary. I am asking specially those people whose native language is English that how much frequently they use a dictionary whilr reading a novel or papers? (i was wondering if i can find some cyber tutor to study Shakespeare.)

Beaches

I lay on the gritty sand
Watching the orange sun dive in the ocean waters
The rays of the sun disperses into the water like splatted paint

I watch the waves run to the shore
They're trying to catch the seashells but they trip on their path
And wash back into the ocean

The water jumps on and off the terrain
indecisive in it's destiny
Throwing disfigured pebbles and lost shells ashore

On the beaches I lay
Feeling united with the sea
Feeling secure and adored as if I were in love

The waters sing and whisper to me softly
Saying my name forever
The waves touch me washing sand and earth of my body
And I lay there on the beaches

Hey, I've just recently bought a variety of books off of my summer reading list. Though most of the books I have are classics and highly esteemed, I'm looking for fun books I can read on the side. I really enjoyed Kiss Me, Judas by William Christopher Baer. If anyone knows if he has written any other books or if there are authors similar to him please make suggestions.

Thanks in advance ;]

Add a paragraph to the following story. Ten points to the paragraph I deem the best addition to the story. Make sure you what you write fits in with the person who answered before you or , if you can, edit it so it does.


The footsteps kept getting closer. Soon he would catch her.
She dug deep for one last burst of energy and pumped her legs with renewed strength. "God help me....."

I had this book when I was little. Late 80's to mid-90's probably. I can't remember if it was one book, or a bunch of small ones. It was kind of a safety book, about talking to strangers and such. I remember one story of a girl who told her mom that her uncle touched her. And another about a boy going to the mailbox by himself or something, and things like that. About not taking candy from strangers, and what to do if certain things happen to you.

I'm asking because my little sister is slow, and I think reading it might help her understand better. It came up because some guy stopped my 13 year old sister on the street today. So yea, any idea what I'm talking about?

I had a fantastic professor who believed everyone should have a little Shakespeare at their disposal at all times. I personally love the St.Crispin's day speech, but what are some other great ones?

It was featured several years ago in the Oprah magazine, and is about penpals, one a Jewish girl, one American. They met on a beach, I believe somewhere in the Middle East, and continued their correspondence for many years.

When in high school, I took some literature classes but I know so little about literature that I'd need somebody's help to answer a question my friend keeps asking me. She's now a high school student and finds it very difficult to analyze novels. The main problem seems to be that she doesn't understand the 'point': why do we analyze literature? Also, she feels confused when the teacher seems to know very clearly which comments made by students are correct and which are wrong. Is lit analysis just meaningless discussions that don't lead to truth or what is the very right way to analyse a novel?
I've heard many times that there is no one single truth in lit. analysis but still there are people who are more succesfull in that than others. How come?
I'm not questioning lit analysis - I really liked it at school. All I would need now is an answer that motivates my friend. Thanks in advance!

A girl I once knew told me about an amazing author. He's sci-fi genre and his trademark is telling how the book is going to end right at the start, but that you're still surprised and blown away by the end of the book. These books are in a series. I'm really anxious to read them, but don't know what they are. Have any of you read them? If so, who is the author and what is that name of the first book? Thanks!
