In my school, they left me a summer-work... I need to write a novel!! They gave me some things that I need to add in the novel, but there's one that I can just not figure out: There have to be two bad people, and one of them needs to be really poor, and the other one very rich, and they have to plan a huge, evil plan (which will be the principal part of the book)... but, what plan could interest a poor person and a rich person at the same time???


THANK YOU!!, I really appreciatte that u took time to answer this!!

Probably really famous, and I'm ashamed I cant' remember it. Would like to find and reread it. Big help if you can answer. It goes something like this from what I remember "Although I shelter from the storm under this broken tree, my chair was nearest to the fire in every company, 'ere time transfiguered me."

TELL DAD NOT TO WORRY



Tell Dad not to worry as I go in the fight;

My buddies and I will be all right.

We trained and trained to win this war;

No country on earth will push us anymore.

Though we might be frightened by the enemy unseen,

We have on our side God who is supreme.

As the shells come screaming and the bullets come fast,

Nothing can stop us for we are in combat at last.

Some men are hit and cry out in pain;

For them the battle is over, and they are never the same.

As my buddies and I get near our goal,

A shell hits me, and I’ll never grow old.

I’ll never get married and have a wife;

I’ll never have children, the joy of my life.

There are so many things I wanted to see,

But fate stepped in; it will never be.

My battle has ended, but my comrades go on;

Nothing can stop them until the enemy is gone.

They pick up the wounded and bury the dead;

Then a telegram is sent where it will be read.

Tell Dad not to worry and Mom not to cry;

We’ll meet in Heaven as the years go by.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN



He had just turned nineteen and was in his prime
When his life was taken before its time.
There were so many things he wanted to be;

There was a great big world he wanted to see.

You are only young once, and it’s time to have fun,

But the country’s at war, and they give you a gun.

You love your country, so whatever will be,

Even if it means fighting on land or on sea.

He thinks of a wife who will hold him tight;

He thinks of children, asleep in the night.

He would go back to school and get his degree;

A man can be anything in this land of the free.

He could take lessons and learn how to fly,

To be like the birds, soaring high in the sky.

He could become a preacher, or write a poem,

Or become a carpenter and build you a home.

He could work with the sick and help make them well,

Or go into a business, whose products he’d sell.

He could become a musician and play in a band,

Or become a politician and help run this land.

He could become a teacher and help kids with their dream,

So everyone in this country will work as a team.

When his parents got old, in the twilight of life,

He would take care of them, with the help of his wife.

When he was in battle he did find time to write,

“Please don’t worry about me as I go into the fight;

I love you all dearly, and will all the time.”

But God had plans for this Marine in his prime.

He was my older brother and also my best friend;

Even with his death, those thoughts never end.

The years go by, and I think of him still;

He gave his life for his country, a Marine called Bill.

He died so young, and the world will never see;

What could have been will never be.

The historian Robin Winks, who died in 2003, had a side interest in mystery novels, and was said to have written mystery novels under a secret pseudonym. Anyone know what that name was? Or anything more about the story?

I mean, yeah it was probably a hard series to end, but wtf? Sending Roland all the way back to the beginning? Killing off the entire ka-tet? And did Oy really have to die? Stephen King is no longer on my list of favorite people...

I dunno why, but I'm in the mood for something surreal. I'm thinking of something along the lines of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, though it doesn't necessarily have to have that fantasy element. I'm looking for something that is a little bit twisted (but not gratuitously morbid) and has that element of the surreal or fantastical to it. Any suggestions? I want to be captivated. Please help!
