Books & Authors - September 2006

The theme of the story describes a young polar bear floating his melting ice cake over to a larger one and jumping to the safer haven. Want to find the whole story and the author.

Has anyone read it? I know that the movie the Secret Window is based off of it, but I was wondering if the book was any good...

I've come across this poem
William and Emily by Edgar Lee Masters.
And I can't seem to figure out what the poem is saying.


THERE is something about Death
Like love itself!
If with some one with whom you have known passion,
And the glow of youthful love,
You also, after years of life
Together, feel the sinking of the fire,
And thus fade away together,
Gradually, faintly, delicately,
As it were in each other’s arms,
Passing from the familiar room—
That is a power of unison between souls
Like love itself!




Thank you in advance.

Brief recap: plague in thebes, oedipus finds out he killed dad unawares, and is sleeping with mum (also unaware). Mum hangs herself, and oedipus gouges out his eyes. The people of thebes, pissed off, throw oedipus out of town. plague goes away, thebans rejoice. THE END.

Now, will anyone tell me what the hell was the lesson of the story? oedipus wasn't a bad bloke. why'd they treat him like crap? I'm so angry with sophocles, and the teachers who made me read it.

I came up with a few questions like:

A famous person once said, “[find something to say like Humor is life].” What is your favorite joke?

Guidance counselor guide, and inspire people. What person has or had inspired you?

Who or what event inspired you to become a guidance consular; were you always a guidance consuler or did you have another job previously?

According to Google, you went to Sam Sample University, one of thousands of unviersities. As a guidance consular you assist students in applying to college. How should one make a decision regarding college?

Colors and attitude are closely related. Donovan sang “Mellow Yellow”, The Who sang “Behind Blue Eyes”, and U2 told us to see the world in “green and blue.” Judging from the significance of color, what is your favorite color and why?

-----

Does anyone have any suggestions or additional question ideas?

Do you believe in your muse or not? Several authors believe that they have a muse & that it is the muse who does all the creative work. The muse helps some writers get into the zone, forget about the world around them so they can inhabit the world being created for the characters. If you believe you have a muse... describe her.

The three questions that need to be answered: 1) is Drood dead, and if so, by whose hand? 2) who/what is Datchery? 3) what is Princess Puffer up to at the "end" of the book?

What do you think and why?

It's about a former FBI agent turned private investigator who returns home to help an old friend (who's a cop) with a murder case. He begins to link the murderor to his past and finds out it's his half brother that he never knew he had. The murders are being committed to "right the wrong" that his father committed against his half brother's mother, who spent her life in a mental asylum. It's based in a small rural town, woodsy area. I checked it out from library around 6-7 years ago and it was relatively new. Help. Loved the book and want to read it again
