I'm writing a story where there is a world-scale cataclysm (disease), this event should ideally be introduced partly to the reader before he meets the central character.

Is it ok to write a chapter or two without your central character, and only introduce him after?
Wouldn't that be hard for the reader, not being able to identify immediatly with the central character?

What methods could I use to make this character discover more about the event? (like someone telling him, reading it from old papers...)

Thanks to all who are willing to help

KINDNESS Pays !

One day, a
poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was
hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost
his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal
he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought
him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How
much do I owe you?"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never
to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from
my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger
physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been
ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called
in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called
in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came
from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her
at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his
best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the
case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked
at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her
room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ;
her attention on the side as She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You,
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

What is your favourite book of his other than Power of One? Looking for something new to read...

2006-08-24 03:08:02 · 1 answers · asked by ontario ashley 4

I got it from the library and read it about 10 years ago. The book seemed pretty old then, so I think it was written quite a while ago.

The plot - In the beginning of the book all the females on earth suddenly disappear and the men and boys are left alone trying to figure out what happened to them and keep things going without them.

Later in the book we find that the women are living on a parallel earth where all the males have disappeared and they are also trying to figure out what happened and cope with their new world.

This book was very good. I wish I could remember the name. Do you know it?

I LOVE to write, but am I good at it? I have very strong emotions at times, and let them out through poetry. People I know tell me my poetry is wonderful, but I have doubts, are they just being nice because they love me? Here's a few poems I have written, please be honest but not rude.

Insignificance

The sun shines,
The world goes on.
Who cares about my little life?

Insignifigant, that's what I am.
My friends love me,
But who really cares?

Then who cared about Abe Lincoln?
I suppose everyone is insignificant...
But all those little people weave to form the world.

Is the Earth a quilt?
Some patches are bigger then others,
But God doesn't care.

Live life,
Challenge yourself.
Be yourself.

That's what they all say.
But in truth, why can't you live?
Living and being are different.

I want to become myself,
Not live just another life.
Do something with my insignifigence.
******************************...
Too Late

Life goes by so quickly,
We must live it.
Before we discover it has passed through our fingertips,
Then it will be too late to live and to love and to learn.
