To anyone who read it:
"How does the main character (Blibo Baggins) change over the course of events in the plot, and why?"
Any help would be RAD.

The story is about 500 words long, and about a young man who tries to outwit, escape the devil, only to meet up with the devil in Sumaria. Who wrote this short story?

Two part question. It's basically all in the title, but I'll elaborate a little:

1) - What do you see in a good number of young adult books that you can't stand? Preferably, these will be at least semi-popular books that you can appreacieate in other ways (to some extent) - you just really don't like something specific in it.

2) - What do you rarely (or never) see in young adult books that you love and think there ought to be more of?


The books could be in any genre (as long as they're written for young adults). Mystery, romance, fantasy, whatever.

The answer to either part could be anything, pretty much. A character type, a central theme, a certian message (or the lack of it), unrealistic (or realistic) situiations, certian language usage, general writing style, complicated plots, etc. (Just some examples.)

Be as specific or vague as you like. I'll pick whichever reply I find most helpful, interesting and well-thought out as the best answer.

Thanks!

having problem with the books stores in town. I'll order something from them and they will mess the order up. I can't order online because I don't have a credit card and the books store won't let me use a gift card online. basically I would like to pay for a book in advance and not have to go through the hassle of wondering how much money to bring because the book store ether can't find the books until the last minute or books disappear from the shelve until I show up next week. what do I do.

I'm really frustrated that I can't find these answers:
1)the Exact date of publication of A farewell to Arms(I already know its in 1929)
2)The exciting force of the book (the event that allows the story to begin, NOT to be confused with the rising action or climax!)
3)out of curiosity, why do you think this is or isn't a good book?(I thought it was extremely boring)

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps

PS I need citations of the pages that you found this on!!(because if I didn't look at it and try to understand, that would be cheating!)
